It's been an interesting week. I substituted coconut milk for normal milk and after 4 days of this, developed a horrible case of hives. I've never been that itchy or that covered with nasty red blotches before. Fortunately my face was spared, so I could still go to work but with my ugly rash fully covered. The rash is slowly going away and I'm feeling better. Talk about going from the fire into the frying pan! I have noted, however, that despite the allergic reaction, my original symptoms are improving...bloating, coughing, etc. I've realized that I don't tolerate dairy products well and am actually feeling better in that regard. I've also greatly reduced gluten and wheat based products. Not sure if gluten is a problem. The main culprit as far as I can tell so far is dairy (and coconut). I will continue this for a few more weeks and see how it goes. I may even loose some weight. LOL. Thanks guys for all your support. Stay tuned.
