In reply to need info on dairy and inflamation, posted by green willow on January 6, 2005, at 14:27:43
> I am interested in learning exactly what the substance is in dairy products that causes inflamation in some people. Someone told me it was the milkfat, and if that is true, then drinking skim milk and non-fat yogurt should not be a problem. However, from personal experience I have not found that to be the case.
It probably varies from person to person but in my case it is milkfat which causes inflammation through my digestive tract. The main symptom is pruritus (anal itching). Butter and cream cheese are major offenders but suprisingly, hard cheeses (cheddar for example) do not seem to cause a problem.
I may also be sensitive to casein but the symptoms seem to be more of a mental nature such as fatigue, brain fog, or depression.
