Those who gave up dairy while nursing

ucalum93

did anyone else notice they themselves had a hard time with dairy after having been off it for months?  I wonder if I am just getting used to it again after 8-9 months off.  I've slowly introduced it but now that it doesn't effect DS, I don't worry about it and although it's not in my diet to the extent it once was, I don't shy away from it any more either. That said,  I wonder if I am not lactose intolerant and just never realized it or if this is normal.

Did you have issues transitioning back on dairy or is it just me?

I've never nursed, but I did go through a period where I gave up dairy for a few months while trying to identify possible migraine triggers.  It definitely required an adjustment period when easing back into it.

yeah- your body has to get used to it again. i've found taht is true for any food taht you go without for a period of time.
