I have a child who loves milk. If given the choice between milk and almost any other beverage, he would choose milk. Honestly, I think if he could bathe in it. So glad he can't because that would just be nasty. Really.
This is the same child who gets headaches. All. The. Time. As in, he lives daily with headaches, sometimes they are livable and other days they are crippling. This has been happening since he was seven years old. He is now eleven. We had tried every
thing: visiting the pediatrician, dentist, optometrist, chiropractor, neurologist, MRI, loading him up with water, veggies, meat,etc. Nothing helped!
One day, this milk loving child had a large Oreo blizzard which was quickly followed by a massive migraine.
Hmmmm. Veddy Interesting!
So we cut all milk from our milk loving child, for a week. And guess what! Not one headache. All week. Holy cow! It was that simple.
Not only that, but Hubs who also suffers with headaches, did the cut too. And wouldn't you know it...zero headaches.
How did we not figure this out sooner? Maybe you all are saying, "Well, duuuuuh!" But not even the multiple specialists we went to asked about his diet. Weird.
No matter. Now that we know the cause, we can keep an eye on it. Now that we know, we can hopefully prevent them. Now that we know, this mama can feel at ease...for the moment.
Dang dairy!
