Jennifer said:I know the Genova stool test I just did is suppose to be able to tell if there's a dairy allergy present. I did the three day test instead of the one day, which means I took stool samples for 3 days to get a better picture of what's going on. I'd imagine an extended stool test like that could help you see what's going on since reactions for you can show up days later.
Hopefully you have success with A2 milk since it would stink to have to permanently cut out dairy. I've done only A2 cow dairy in the past, but it made no difference for me. I still got the rash, tonsil stones, foggy head ect. I pretty much expected that though since goat milk causes the same reactions.
Hi Jennifer,
I've not found any similar stool testing where I am, and I'm pretty sure regulations would prohibit international transfer.
I do remember reacting similarly (fuzzy head) to goats milk when I tried it a few years ago, so I guess it's unlikely I'll be better off with A2. But worth a try.
Have you had life-long trouble with dairy, or did it develop later along wih your other health troubles? Is fuzzy/poisoned-headed-ness one of your symptoms too? I was raised drinking lots of milk, and did not notice any bad effects till early twenties, after a period of drinking much less. I've never had this kind of rash before that I can remember. I did used to have a stuffed up nose often, but that's more consistent with the mild pollen allergy (and reinforcing mouth-breathing habits).
It feels as though I can get away with some milk if I don't overdo it, but it could be that I'm fooling myself and it's still messing with me at a lower level when I drink less. I've gone long periods with little or no milk and still had just as many migraines without, so it doesn't seem key to my worst affliction.
