Joshua 2012-02-21T15:50:21Z 2012-02-21T17:00:49Z <p>So I had some dairy the day before yesterday. It wasn't much, but it affected me severely.</p> <p>I had two tablespoons of organic sour cream, a tablespoon of organic cream cheese, and about an ounce of commercial colby cheese.</p> <p>Keep in mind I usually eat about 2 tablespoons of kerrygold a day without any issue... first tablespoon is to fry my eggs, second is throughout the course of the day on veggies and such. </p> <p>Yesterday was absolutely miserable. Slow, painful evacuation (not constipation, more like lava toothpaste), and 4 occurrences (I'm normally a once-a-day kinda guy). I ended up stopping at breakfast and fasting all day until it was gone (I ate this morning and am OK). </p> <p>Now, considering these were all "soft cheeses" or "sour cream", and I usually don't have any issue with goatsmilk soft cheeses, hard cow cheeses (asiago, aged cheddar, manchego), or butter - could this mean my issues are not casein, but lactose?</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/99220/dairy-in-lava-out/99223#99223 Answer by greymouser for Dairy In = Lava Out? greymouser 2012-02-21T15:58:24Z 2012-02-21T15:58:24Z <p>Welcome to the wonderful world of lactose intolerance.</p> <p>Get to know your limits, and don't cross them. Ever. It's never worth it.</p> <p>I can use infinite ghee, liberal butter (sticks of it, even), I won't die if I eat some sprinkled Parmesan, but creamy cheese -- likely to have a lot of lactose -- will kill me - almost immediate symptoms. Dairy, even in small amounts beyond just ghee, two days in a row will also effect me badly.</p> <p>Good luck!</p> <p>EDIT: as you noted, there are better options if you are really craving cheese. Goat's milk cheese is probably the best option: low lactose, high lactase (compared to cow's milk).</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/99220/dairy-in-lava-out/99232#99232 Answer by Dragonfly for Dairy In = Lava Out?
