Today, I ate full sheep’s milk feta.
And waited.
And it has been 6hrs.
And I’m not hospitalized!!!!!!

I WAS CORRECT!

And today, I ate CHEESE.
I cried. It was joyous.

A number of studies have shown that people sensitive or allergic to A1 beta-casein have a significantly easier time digesting A2 beta-casein.

I speculated for a while and knew the risks of being wrong…

I am not lactose intolerant: I eat my weight in butter no problem, and that would be an issue if this was LI.

Cows (most of them) have a different protein than say sheep, camels, etc.The protein is different by a single amino acid, (diff from cow, same as human)
A1 beta-casein vs A2 beta-casein.

The second time this happened I *was* hospitalized (who puts dairy in lo mein??) during the pandemic. Long story short… dairy protein is my enemy….

Or is it?? DUN DUN DUUUUUUNNNN!

So, long story short… I have not (willingly) consumed any dairy protein since 2013. On one occasion I was in Ireland and unknowingly consumed dairy. I should have been hospitalized and the next day they almost wouldn’t let me on the plane because I looked so rough.
