In addition, limit dairy products, for some they cause gut inflammation.
Yes, dairy is not good for the body. And think about this: What is "milk" as we know it? It is a liquid produced BY cows FOR baby cows.
Why do WE drink it???? It's a myth foisted on us by advertisers and the dairy industry. We don't need it. Human babies need human mother's milk. Young children can get protein in other ways.
I wonder if coconut milk is ok, I'm not sure.
Unless you have a problem with coconut, then coconut milk should be okay. Ditto with almond milk, etc. (Though soy milk may be problematic, and if you DO choose to drink it, be sure to get organic soy.)
The milks produced by coconut, almonds, etc. do not have the congestive results of the cow's milk (which is an animal product).
And since I'm on my little sparkly soapbox here, please indulge me in just one more thing: The dairy industry is rife with cruelty. Even the organic production of cow's milk. These are sentient feeling beings. What this industry does is artificially remove sperm from the bulls (if any of you gentlemen want to really cringe, just look up how) and then they artificially insert it into the females. After the calves are born, they yank them from their mothers (so that the milk production can commence for HUMANS), and they put many of the calves into tiny crates where they purposely make the calves become anemic so that their flesh is whitened for the ultimate fate THEY get - to become "veal." The mother cows bellow and wail, to no avail, for their stolen babies. They really do.
I became vegetarian (well, disclaimer: I still eat a little fish) over ten years ago. It is only last summer that I learned the above, about dairy production, and I gave up all dairy on the spot. It's been a bit of an adjustment, as I used to suck down the yogurt and cheese. But it's fine, and it's worth it.
I'm putting the info here just because it's flowing out of me in words. If it moves anyone, well then, cool.
