This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Community: Knowledge & Support

Hi all,

i cut out dairy as most diets recommend cutting out milk and its relatives for MS and because I tested as having high intolerance to all dairy in the IGg tests (I must say I have noticed better digestions). I've read kefir uses up lactose and "process" they proteins in milk including casein (I also had intolerance to that)....so I'm wondering, is it safe to include in the diet?
