I was diagnosed as a kid with LI and my ...Mellie, <br /><br />I was diagnosed as a kid with LI and my mother didn't know much about it then, but didn't give me any milk. As I grew up, in my middle school and high school years i still knew I was LI but kind of ignored it. I would still eat ice cream and cheese, pizza, milk with my cereal, etc. BUT I got headaches and severe stomachaches almost every single day or at least 4 times a week. So this past summer I sort of made the obvious connection and took first milk out- and replaced it with Lactaid. Then I realized that milk was still in a lot of products I did not know about and I was still getting heavy doses, and therefore still getting sick. Then I did a lot of research and found out how harmful milk was to the public in general. When I babysit, the kids scream for milk and literally drink half the carton in the time I am there (8-4). The girl once drank her entire bottle in 10 minutes, literally gulping it down. Afterwards none of her words made sense, she was staring into space, she was twisting and turning on the couch, couldn't sit still, and was zoning out watching the TV, even after I turned it off. So I have seen the effects for myself and feel guilty for even giving it to the kids in the first place. <br /><br />THe first book that caught my attention on this was:<br /><br />http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Unraveling-The-Mystery-Of-Autism-And-Pervasive-Developmental-Disorder/Karyn-Seroussi/e/9780767907989<br /><br />It is mainly about Autism but also talks about ADD, fibromyalgia (which I think I have) and many other behavioral problems, which may be caused by milk in origin. This book led me to: <br /><br />http://www.amazon.com/Dont-Drink-Your-Milk-Frightening/dp/0945383347<br /><br />which I am still reading. <br /><br />Take your kids off it for a week- one week and see what happens... supplement their calcium with OJ or another food source...Whats the worst that could happen? You may see improvements in their attention span, performance or behavior in general. I do not consider myself an expert on the topic by any means. I still have a TON of research to do about this topic and very much plan to do so in my future. I want to be able to stand behind my belief 100% and back it up with a lot of other research and researchers. I know a lot of people don't believe me, nor do they think they have problems with milk. And some people don't, or never will...but milk could be causing a problem you may not even think possible. Who knows..<br /><br />Thanks for reading mel :)A Writer in a Nurse's Bodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08305471508341379618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699931173317355974.post-10739765695236877612010-11-06T11:29:24.384-04:002010-11-06T11:29:24.384-04:00Wow, so this LI came out of nowhere? My friend Ant...Wow, so this LI came out of nowhere? My friend Antoine is LI, and he still finds himself eating ice cream and then getting sick. He loves dairy products. I hope milk isn't all bad. What about the ones made from organically fed cows or whatever.... because I give my girls milk all the time.Melnoreply@blogger.com
