Same. For me, dairy increase respiratory mucus production which makes me feel a little congested and increases the frequency amd severity of upper respiratory tract infections.
It also hurts my digestive system.
Both are subtle initially and ramp up with continued dairy consumption, so I can tolerate small infrequent amounts.
I suspect many more people have similar issues but don't realise.
- outime 6y agoYeah I have exactly this. I tolerate small amounts but I avoid it on a daily basis. And I do love cheese but ain’t worth it. Lactose-free (aka adding lactase) helps sligthly but it seems it’s not the only thing causing trouble to me. All in all, we’re lucky we have alternatives.
- borepop 6y agoMe three. I used to get colds that would regularly ripen into sinus and ear infections, and I haven't experience a single such infection in several years since switching to about 95% plant-based eating.
