allergic to yogurt

allergic to yogurt? that's a new one. And how can they test for a particular strain of probiotic. I'd be more prone to believe it's the milk protein, but I think you need to call for clarity, but wouldn't it be the same for milk?


Lactose wouldn't be an allergy, it would be an intolerance...different.



I would think taking probiotics would be better than consuming yogurt anyway....I don't think that means you're allergic to probiotics...you just have to check whether they have milk proteins in them I guessInterestingly weird....not you, however...

Dairy sensitivity would be my guess too. That could put the kabosh or at least mean you would need to watch the amount of dairy items you consume like Ice Cream and Pizza..unless you get fake artificial ice cream or fake pizza. I guess whatever it is. Soy Cheese or Lactose-Free, Vegan. I have no idea. Others on here are more knowledgeable about the Soy/Almond Vegan dairy biz :)

I mean than there is the issue if you experience gas, bloating, cramps, diarrhea etc when you consume dairy or yogurt. Or Yogurt exclusively ? You should know from experience/trial & error...And avoid or limit items.

I would of made further inquiry too imo.

I don't think so, not if you weren't having noticeable problems. But you could always cut it out and see. Or take something like Lactaid. Doesn't hurt. When I was first diagnosed I used Lactaid because we heard dairy was bad, but it turns out I can eat it just fine.

Blood tests are unreliable....they can have many false negatives and positive negatives. You need to listen to your body first and foremost. If a food doesn't cause issues then don't worry about it, however if you are having issues then avoid that food or drink for 2 weeks and reintroduce it into your diet. If the same issues arise then you are probably sensitive to it (intolerant). If you did indeed have an allergy, your body would register it in form of hives/welts, throat tickling/tingling to swelling...think systemic. Intolerances come in form of intestinal upset, nausea, vomiting, bloating etc as well as possible increased mucous production in the colon and mucous membranes of the nose.

First, listen to your body. It is signalling don't eat that food.

Second, allergy tests are very unreliable. I was tested for gluten and test said no problem. But when went gluten-free my bleeding stopped.
I had no physical manifestations of gluten-intolerance, nothing to tell me it was a problem (well except the bleeding but who knew gluten was causing it?).

Since your test said you are allergic PLUS your body says so you need to stop eating it.

I also couldn't eat yogurt even 24 hr. SCD kind. But after 5.5 months on SCDiet my body was healed enough and now I can eat it with absolutely no problems. I never had a problem with VSL or any other probiotic.

Since you can't take VSL orally what about an enema of it?

Weird that you can eat store-bought and not your own.
