Jo - I went a saw a local Kinesiologist to do a allergy test about a year ago as my skin started to get really bad with excema, which I have never really had before, even though I have struggled with full fat dairy for many years.

The Kinesiologist found I had an allergy to milk and wheat, but only very low level. For 2 weeks I had to remove all dairy and wheat from my diet, and then slowly re-introduce things. She says it common for your body to get to an "overload" point of one or more things and just needs a break to re-balance its self. I now alternate between soya and normal semi skimmed milk and same with cheese and yogurt - alternate with goats and dairy, and I find that works for me. I don't eat white bread really at all, and stick with nutty/seed/wholewheat breads where I can.

I actually really enjoy Soya milk now and think soya cappuccinos taste great - a bit of a nutty flavor. However, I agree with Elaine on the soya yogurts - they are foul!

Thanks Laura...

It seems the antibiotics and the co-codamol have worked... I feel much more normal now! Will see how I am when I've completely finished... It looks like it may have been the leftover of the bug I had creating havoc with my IBS.
