I just felt like sharing this here. I personally never had real "issues" per se with dairy. I've always loved heavy cream (but never drank milk straight), greek yogurt, kefir, and cheese. Ohhh and cream cheese and sour cream, mmmm. And, of course, butter. But I wanted to see if there might be an issue with dairy, just because we all know dairy isn't really natural and it's best to cut it out if you aren't going to die without it.
So after a month and a half of abstaining, I had some raw butter and cheese. Sure enough, bad digestion issues. Well, not horrible. I thought I'd have to make a bathroom trip, but I didn't in the end. Just some unpleasant feelings and discomfort. No pain, but enough discomfort to confirm that it isn't optimal for me to be eating it. So, I'll continue to abstain from it. If I have to eat it in something at a social gathering or some recipe, I won't mind it the way I would run away from any grains, but I'm going to do what I can to never eat it now. I guess I'll have to get more friendly with coconut milk now.
