You know, I always had ice cream & yogurt & cheese my entire life. Now,every time I eat it, I get gas..even when taking lactaid. I'm starting to think that maybe milk is just not as good for you as once thought!!! Whenever I knock it out f my diet, I feel better & also break out way less. They say that milk leads to fat loss. Well, when I stay away from it, I lose a little weight. Anyone have similar feelings on milk?

I switched to soymilk, and it took a little getting used to. I like it now though....

Every one at birth produces lactaid so they can digest their mother's milk. But at age 1 to 2 certain peoples/races etc. lose this enzyme and become lactose intolerent. Now i've read reciently where some people who retain the lactase enzyme into adulthood for some reason also loose this enzyme in their 30's,40's 50's and so on. I never been lactose intolerent but now if i don't consume milk products for several months then have milk/ice cream i get bad stomach pains but then it goes away after that episode so probably my lactase enzyme was down regulated until i consumed milk products etc.....

aries... I don't believe in milk at all. Come to think of it, every time I see it on TV I feel like I'm gonna hearl. Have you ever tried other types of milk like almond, coconut or rice? Coconut milk tastes like heaven and I really enjoy almond. I also heard that goats milk is really good. At least you don't get the puss and nasty crap that's in normal milk... just give one a try and see what you think, I'm sure you'll be very pleased.
