I don’t drink cow’s milk any more. If I drank a glass it’d be like two cats fighting in a pillowcase, that’s what my belly would feel like.

@cherokeepatti What have you replaced it with?

It's not quite as bad as that for me but I do find that milk doesn't quite agree with me either.

@helsbels I drink almond milk, not nearly as tasty but don’t get gastric upset with it. I can cook with a little cow’s milk and not have a problem, butter is not a problem, can have some Greek yogurt. There was a Jersey milk yogurt that seemed to sit well on my stomach too but it’s getting hard to find now, I would have it as a treat about once a month. I tried coconut milk (Silk brand) and it kind of felt kind of acidic after I drank it (I can use canned coconut milk without a problem to cook with) and once bought some Silk Cashew milk…drank about a pint of it and got severely inflamed internally for about 3 days, had to throw it out. I don’t know why it inflamed me, I can eat whole cashew nuts and not have a problem. Have sampled oat milk, loved the texture & flavor but they put too much sugar in it.

@cherokeepatti Interesting, thanks. I'll have to give the alternatives a try.
