I removed all milk earlier this year which has helped greatly with digestive issues.
It's simple. You have a high phosphate diet and virtually no calcium. That's how Ray Peat lost almost all of his teeth before he discovered the importance of calcium. K2 alone won't do it, it's there to guide the flow of calcium in the right direction, but you need to consume calcium for that. Some glasses of milk are not enough. You need either a few quarts of milk, if you can't do that then a block of cheese a day, if you can't do that then lots of well cooked greens (I read that you can't handle the calcium supplements).
I was on the same path as you and as Ray Peat was, when I drank no milk and ate too little cheese. I had regular tooth aches and every year a molar would slowly crumble until complete deterioration. When I introduced sufficient amounts of milk and cheese back in, all my tooth aches and the decaying stopped and I can drink as many quarts of OJ as I want, it doesn't hurt my teeth.
I still have a partially decayed tooth in my mouth and it makes no problems, no pain, no sensitivity to cold, as long as I have enough calcium and K2 from food. When I eat to little milk and cheese it starts hurting and it immediately gets resolved once I reintroduce the right amounts of those foods.
Right now about 100-200g of Parmiggiano Reggiano or Grana Padano a day does the trick for me.
