Patient discussion about Dairy breeds.

Q. I have chronic hayfever problems in the mornings for the first hour.Seems to be a correlation with dairy produ I also got asthma 8 years ago at age 69, after having 2 pet cats. It is controlled with 2 puffs of Symbicord daily, am & pm. Anyone managed a complete cure?

A. Allergies/hay fever/asthma-No CURE as of now,controlled by medication. ther also are two types of asthma-cardiac asthma usually you find in older people,next time you talk to your DR-ask him-sometimes DRs do not want to upsat there patients--asthma attacks can happen from food allergies,see what he/she saids about it----good luck-mrfoot56

Q. can dairy allergy come out as asthma attack? can only people who suffer from asthma get breathing attacks or can it also be like this one-time-attack for healthy people??

A. thanks everyone!

Q. I am lactose intolerant. Can I have any other dairy food?

A. Hi DavidJuan. I have a true milk allergy myself which goes beyond lactose intolerance. Keep this in mind. We are the only mammals that drink the milk of another! Do you ever see a giraffe suckling from an elephant? You can use rice milk, preferably in organic form. There are so many other foods to eat without jeopardizing your health to have milk!
