Clicky Poll: Milk (NBR)
Cow's milk doesn't normally give me problems, but I think it's contributing to my pregnancy bloat/gas. So, I picked up some almond milk today, which got me wondering...

Re: Clicky Poll: Milk (NBR)
Thanks, Lisa! The one thing I can consistently eat these days is cereal...hence my need for milk.
I actually like the taste of rice milk, but I don't like all the carbs. And I've ready some scary things about soy milk. I thought I'd give almond milk a try for now until I read something scary about that one, too.
I use soymilk but don't really drink it. I'll put it on cereal, in tea, that kind of thing.
I've seen oat milk, potato milk and hemp milk but haven't tried them.
I can't stand the flavor of soy milk (I've tried to acquire the taste but just can't) - what's almond milk like?
Wait, are women not supposed to have dairy when they're BFing?? I didn't know that!
And I never heard anything bad about soy milk in my life until I opened this post! I do occasionally drink soy milk but mainly because I like it with certain cereals and I like it in my smoothies. Normally, I'm all about cow milk. I like my yogurt and cheeses too.
As far as I know, you only have to limit or eliminate dairy if your baby shows signs of allergy or sensitivity to it - cow's milk is a common culprit, but most moms can eat anything they want (or so I understand).
We drink organic cow's milk, and we use chocolate Silk soy milk for smoothies. I really like the Silk brand for soy milk.
But, geez... seems like everything's bad for you these days...
This is how I feel! I am often frustrated by what seems like should be healthy foods, somehow being turned into unhealthy ones due to someone's "study." Moderation and balance is my motto!
Anyway, I usually drink cow's milk (well, not really drink, but use for cereal), but I do have almond milk once in a while for a treat....I love it!
Amen! I remember reading a study last year that said potato and bread cause cancer... that was the moment I threw my hands up in the air and said I'm out.
I'm a lactard, so I use soymilk in my coffee and on my cereal... other than that, I stay away. I do eat goat's cheese though!

We only buy Horizon organic milk, regular, no fat reduction. It is mostly for my 8 year old. She does really well with it. I think it is a good balance for her. She gets hyper on sugar. Milk seems to fix that. I don't know the biochemistry. It is definitely good for her mood. She's tall and healthy.
My H and I only consume it as part of something else (oatmeal, recipes, smoothies).
I quit drinking milk at whatever age girls start thinking that they are fat (pre-teen years). When I was 19, I started having problems with food reactions due to sulfites. No doctor could figure out that sulfites were the problem for a decade! Yes, bad undiagnosed stomach/GI problems for years. Once I knew the problem, I found Rick Williams website. It said that milk was one of the safest things for people with a sulfite problem. At that time, I was trying to gain weight. So, I started drinking Horizon organic every day. Now that my weight is up, I don't need to drink milk.

IMO, almond milk (unsweetened) tastes a lot like rice milk. I actually like it with my cereal!
Why is soy milk bad? Sometimes I feel like EVERYTHING is pretty much bad for you and we just shouldn't eat or drink anything. It's frusturating in a way...
Anyway, I became lactose intolerant a couple of years ago and now I drink soy milk (Silk). MH drinks organic 1%. I never tried almond milk but I wouldn't be able to use it because MH is allergic to nuts and we substitute soy milk for recipes that call for milk that both of us are going to eat.
