Guest guest Posted June 19, 2003 Report Share Posted June 19, 2003 > I have a friend who was just diagnosed with asthma. She's probably had it for a while but was diagnosed following a very severe attack, and now is continuously taking medication, and her lungs are still only at 70% capacity. > > She has been vegetarian her whole life, but does eat milk products on a regular basis. My previous attempts to gently tell her about a possible link, were not taken seriously, and to be honest, I have no direct proof that there really is a link. > > So what I was wondering, is whether some of you have your own personal story to tell? Namely, if you had asthma, and becoming vegan (specifically, giving up milk products) aleviated it in any way, I'd like to hear about it. Here is a link to some studies on it: http://tinyurl.com/eol1 You can click on " Related Articles " for any study to try to find others like it. It looks to me like milk might exacerbate asthma in some people. One way to find out it is to eliminate it for a few days and see what happens.
