Dairy Intolerance could be caused by a sensitivity to one of two main proteins in cows milk, whey and casein. Other milks, such as goat or sheep milk could also act as trigger foods. Eggs can also be responsible for food intolerance reactions, both the egg white which is primarily protein, as well as the more fatty (but tasty!) yolk.
Manifesting as bloating, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), weight gain, fatigue, skin problems, migraines or joint pain, even a mild food intolerance to dairy or eggs may have a major impact upon a person’s day to day activities, and the inclusion of these foods in a western diet is so common that the actual intolerances can be difficult to find, and also to avoid successfully.
Smartblood Story - Julia's Intolerance to Dairy
Julia is a market trader, and also studying speech and language therapy. Julia has suffered with regular migraines for over 22 years, and has tried everything to get rid of them, even ice baths!
It wasn’t until Julia had a Smartblood food intolerance test recommended to her by one of her friends that she found out that she had raised IgG antibody levels to many dairy products. Replacing these foods with others on the advice of a Smartblood nutritional therapist has made a big difference in Julia’s life – her migraines have vanished, and she would recommend a Smartblood test to anybody.
I was getting awful Migraines every week. I took the Smartblood test, changed my diet, and now I don't get Migraines - It's amazing! - Julia
