Veganism and Asthma?

[Guest guest]

> 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:

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.
