Q for the dairy-free mommas

When you went dairy-free, did your immune system take a nose dive? I've been DF for three months and two weeks now. I'm still taking prenatals religiously, and take calcium supplements when I remember (which, honestly, isn't terribly often). Otherwise, I eat a fairly balanced diet. Originally, I chalked up all my getting sick to DD starting day care, but over the last month, I've continued to get a virus of some sort at least every other week, where DH has been healthy since the beginning of July. Not fair. Just thought I'd see if maybe cutting dairy could be contributing to my immune system's unwillingness to do its job.

    I cut all dairy about 6 months ago (including things that had any sort of dairy cooked it it--breads baked with whey etc.) I have never felt better! I have not been sick, no allergies, skin is more clear (or as clear as it can be with PCOS), etc.

    Maybe it is just daycare germs... Hope that you feel better soon!

    There's not a whole lot of good in traditional dairy milk =( I think it's just your immune system returning to pre-preg levels.

    Darn. I was hoping to blame the constant yuckiness on the dairy. But my skin has been uncharacteristically clear the past few months...so at least there's that. Thanks, y'all!

    I agree with PP, we never felt better once we got rid of dairy.  And not all of us are allergic to it.  I will say that dd was so addicted to gluten that she went through a die off phase that was pretty rough for her, but not dairy.

    Ditto pp--went off dairy and felt great.

    I hope you are healthy again soon!

    Dear Bump: You suck.
