Who gets milk allergies when they're 60 years old?
For a couple of years now I've gotten some gastrointestinal distress if I ate ice cream, drank a coffee with milk in it, ate cereal with milk, ate some cheese, etc. It was an intolerance with not-so-fun results.
But now I'm getting hives and allergic reaction symptoms when I eat chocolate with milk in it. That's never happened before. It's been happening for 3 days now. At first I thought it was nuts in the chocolate (there weren't any) but now I've researched and I'm pretty sure it's the milk.
I honestly don't know what I can and can't eat anymore. It's very frustrating.

I'm the same as you Lou...I just don't know anymore. I experience gastro intestinal and skin issues. Its horrible.
I think it is whatever they are putting in foods and stuff.

You need to contact your PCP and have them help you with what you can safely eat.

I guess it just happens that as we age our bodies change. I have never had cholesterol issues, but all of a sudden my cholesterol is inching up and is higher than it should be. Doc and I are going to try a slight change of diet before going on a statin. I told him I don't want to start adding medications if I can avoid it.
