Just how much of an offending food can cause a reaction?

Hi All!
I hope I am in the correct forum :)....I have been a good girl with my diet for about 2+ months now. On Saturday, I had a small container of yoghurt...(just didn't want it to go to waste) On Monday I was not well. No diarrhea but gas like crazy, depression, joint aches, and fatigue like crazy. Could that have been from 1 small serving of yoghurt??....(I can't have dairy) I am better today (Tuesday)
Any input is appreciated!!
Thanks to all of you who are suffering too!

Hi Trish!
One serving of dairy could certainly cause that, even half a teaspoon if you are very sensitive to casein, like many of us here are. I had an accidental swig of a milkshake - a vietnamese avocado drink (forgot it had milk), and I blew up like a balloon, followed by D hours later. You're lucky it didn't cause D, although dairy intolerance can often cause C.

Thanks Zizzle for the input. Wow, one swig of a milk-shake huh!? I will have to clean out the refrig. and just dump out anything that might offend. If Hubby isn't going to use it, it goes in the trash!

Thanks again

Definitely! Since changing your diet, do you feel better? Are your MC symptoms all gone?

I put a couple of frozen cubes of home made turkey broth into a sauce, and blew up with cramps and gurgling no more than an hour later.
Yogurt seems to do nothing to me. However, given that I don't seem to improve, I don't have it )-:.

Thank you Ladies for your input! Now I will really watch everything I eat more closely.
I DO feel better since I have avoided gluten and eggs. It took about 6 weeks but my energy returned, my depression lifted, and no more gurgles and grumbling! My Doc still has me on 6mg of Budesonide, so no more diarrhea...Thank Heavens :)

I read on here somewhere that the longer we avoid our allergy foods, the more sensitive we become to accidental/intentional ingestion.

Everyone on this site has been so kind and nice! Thank you again for your input.
