Just anecdotal, but I think this simple study supports the idea that it is worth exploring the cause of non-critical health issues before we start slicing and cutting.
I grew up with the worst ear infections. Tonsils were removed, and various drugs and treatments. I even needed a speech therapist because of hearing problems that were caused. My family doctor was very opposed to putting holes in the eardrums though, so they didn't try that.
I continued to get ear infections regularly until I left home, but I didn't really realize the stopped. About 8 years later I had another one, and finally isolated it to whey protein (protein supplement started using when going to the gym).
It has now been another 10 years without an ear infection.
- manmal 8y agoFunnily, I have the same reaction to whey protein, and also if I eat very (!) large amounts of swiss cheese or even joghurt. I anecdotally found out that drinking a small amount of apple cider vinegar mostly resolves my stuffy ears after that. Forgot to mention that I also had my adenoids removed as a kid.
