Letter from a Blog Reader:
My youngest was told by doctors to drink soy milk because he had persistent diarrhea. It did go away, but then I found out how bad soy is and stopped. I started to buy only organic milk, and limited his amounts. Giving him almond milk in between. I have been giving him raw milk now for almost 2 years. Every time he gets regular milk he is cramping and feeling bad. With raw milk he drinks freely and never has ill side effects! Zane is now 7.5 and filled out and no longer a weakly child.We even had him tested for worms because he never gained weight but always ate more than 3 kids his age. All is well with Raw milk, it rocks! I unfortunately have not been able to drink ANY dairy and have multiple allergies. I contribute it to eating crap my whole life, S.A.D. My children do not get the same!

I have suffered for health problems (mostly digestive) for almost 8 years now as a result of being exposed to toxic mold for 6+ of those years. This year I went on an anti-fungal diet, which helped many of my symptoms. I then decided to add other foods in, as I hardly ever felt full. Of course I defaulted back to a Nourishing Traditions diet, and went on a mad-search for raw milk (as sources aren’t super-abundant here in FL). I have since found one and drink at least 3 pints a day. I now feel full, have gained back weight that I never wanted to lose in the first place, and have continued to get stronger. I am so thankful for my raw milk!!!

To Tracie, you may be allergic because you are toxic. I suggest a natural health practitioner who can test you for metals and chemicals. Try to find someone who muscle tests or has an energy scan. These toxins disrupt the immume system and nutrient absorption. janice
I gave my failure to thrive son raw milk and raw cream for almost a year and he never gained weight. I have had him on GAPS diet for two months and he has gained more weight in those two months than he has in the last two years.
Tracie – look in the GAPS diet. It helps many people with food allergies or sensitivies.
I will definitely put my child back on raw dairy and other Nourishing Traditions foods when his gut heals.
