Hmmm, well, I drink milk all the time. It does not bother me as long as it is fat free. If it has some fat, it bothers me... not sure why, but it seems like milk fat (butter) is more of a trigger than other kinds of fat... or maybe I just tend to use more than other kinds of fat? I am unsure...

I'm also very confused about the milk thing. I have porridge made with milk and hot chocolate almost every day and since starting the EFI diet I have avoided cow's milk in favour of soy or rice milk because the impression I got from this board is that most of you avoid dairy like the plague! I am mainly using rice milk now as I had a funny episode with soy milk not so long ago...but I have heard a few times on the board that this can have a constipating effect...although I am still unsure as to why this is. I am IBS-C (major!!)
Jeio, are you IBS-C? And would I be right in thinking that cow's milk mainly affects IBS-D ers? Surely if cow's milk has a D effect then it might actually help my problem as long as it's FF and I don't overdo it??
I feel so confused...and I'm worrying that by avoiding cow's milk in favour of rice milk, maybe I'm just making my C even worse?!
