Diet Restrictions

 

During the past year, I discovered that I am severely allergic to dairy products. I think it is the casein. After months of self-treating patches of eczema in my scalp, I decided to eliminate the possible culprits. After two weeks without milk, cheese and ice cream, the red, itchy, scab-like sections of my scalp began to disappear. I decided to test my theory and slowly add milk back into my diet; in forty-eight hours, the patches were back. Needless to say, I am now (and forever will be) dairy free.
