Milk & Mucus

[SaltyAndSweet]

Personally, I can't do dairy. I do cheat every now and then, but I pay for it. It at least quadruples the amount of mucus I normally have. I had a nutritionist (not familiar with CF) tell me I was nuts when I was in the hospital and I didn't know what I was talking about. She said it was an old wives tale. Listen lady, I know my body!
Now, I do have to add that as a child I was very allergic to milk, it would give me a horrible rash. Now I do not get a rash, just the cough and excess mucus. So, I am not sure if my dairy sensitivity is due to an allergy or to CF or what exactly, but I do know that it does affect me. (despite that evil nutritionist who told me to just sip some warm water after drinking milk, ARG!).

Richard discovered about 4 years ago that if he drank milk he had a lot of mucous buildup. So he stopped and now just strictly drinks Soy Milk. He rarely ever eats cheese unless we go out for pizza or something like that. And no icecream of any kind. It definately seems to help him and he manages to stay out of the hospital sometimes 6 months at a time. When he first went off of dairy he stayed out for 21 months straight. Don't know for sure if it had anything to do with the milk but it sure did change the way he was feeling.

I personally stay away from yogurt as it has aspartame. </end quote></div>

tons of yogurts are sweetened with real sugar, evaporated sugar cane, or other non-synthetic sugar ingredients.

yogurt is so good for our bones and digestive health, i would hope no CFers would give up eating yogurt if it's a normal part of your diet.

i've avoid yeast infections so many times from PO or IV antibiotics due to yogurt as well.

re-check those labels for aspartame...... you'll be surprised to not find it on many yogurts

If you can find real yogurt then it's great, but it seems like people are believing what they are being spoonfed that all yogurt is good for you. It's nothing but a corporate device, designed to make people dependent on it so the CEOs can keep filling their pockets. Now as far as yeast infections, well instead of just addressing the symptom, ie applying topical cream, you must ask why you get them? Anti-biotics kill all the resilient bacteria, the cell wall ruptures, and there's no defense against the bad bacteria. When the cat's away the mice will play. Antibiotics suppress your immune system, the good bacteria are essential to your immune system. I'd say, and I've taken this approach, do not take an antibiotic unless it is absolutely necessary. I no longer get any yeast infections, and I used to be prone to them.
