Gastritis or?

December 9, 2006

Has any vegan (or otherwise) had the experience of eating some dairy (especially

cheese) and getting stomach pain for over 1 day? I went out to eat with some

friends to a pizza place and ordered a salad and spinch/mushroom pizza slice.

Both came with tons of mozzarella cheese. About 1/2 hour after eating my

stomach was bloated and my heart was racing. When I woke up the next morning

(yesterday) I still had the stomach pain, which was very unusual, to say the

least. (I also had no appetite, which is even more unusual!) I went to the

doctor and he did a bunch of tests. In the meantime, I have to get with the

program and stay away from fat and dairy.

I'd guess your system's not used to the fat. my mom complains similarly when

she eats fatty foods. i'm a sucker for butter & cream.

Yes, it is not natural for our body to digest cheese or meat. We adapt, and

significantly increase our HCL and other enzymes.

This does not mean it is good for us, and there are penalties people face

for eating dairy or meat.

My belief is never miss an opportunity to join our friends and loved ones

when they go out to eat. At such situations,

I ask for pizza with lots of veggies and no cheese. Some places will even

substitute two veggies for cheese, others will comply and look at you

strangely.

But it’s great. If you have friends over that want pizza and a you don’t

want a whole pizza, ask for ½ just veggies and the

the rest put your cheese on that half.

Have fun!

Colleen,

I used to just get mild pains, did not know from what. I finally figured out it

was dairy. Now, I can eat some chocolate with mild discomfort to just plain ole

discomfort. But now, years later, if I get something that has cheese or whey,

etc.. in it, I get bloating, severe cramping, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (to put

the rest of the effects politely) all the way to vomiting and

i-think-i-am-gonna-die-i-am-so-stupid cramps. I now refer to my experience with

dairy as death-by-dairy. The last time I had cheese it affected my asthma.

So, my suggestion to you is to be aware that your body may have politely said, I

am finished with this product. Move on. Now for my advice, LISTEN to it

before it gets angry! :0)
