To drink milk or not to drink milk...?

@TomTomBinks,

I like the tqste of milk with malt syrup or malt and chocolate. The only way I use milk by itself is with oatmeal or an apple dumpling

Gundry is a great health guru. I think he claims to eat something like 9 eggs a day (free range, farm sourced of course.) And so you probably know the only way to be adequately tested for nutritional deficiencies is through an integrative (or functional) medical practitioner.

So he's full of it literally as well?

You'd have to understand "one's man feast is another man's famine." Diet is really and truly individual specific but there are many generalities that are pertinent (I think Gundry recommends up to 4 eggs per day.)

I don't drink milk because I get kidney stones if I do. Rice Dream, a brand of rice milk is excellent if you add a little sweetener to it.

Umm, milk actually isn't the culprit but among them are low magnesium and high amounts of red meat.

Maybe, I don't know. I know if I drink a quart of milk today tomorrow I will get a kidney stone. I know this from experience. However, I do eat small amounts of sour cream, yogurt, and parmesan cheese with no difficulties.

Well, if you want to know the only way is through adequate testing and the only widely available source I know is through an integrative practitioner.

Drink milk? yep, we drink the 2%, the kids drink whole milk and we usually have a half a gallon of chocolate milk.

dietary sources of oxalates should be avoided by those with genetics that favor kidney stones. Rhubarb, Kale, Beets, peanuts, wheat germ, (Thats all I know, look up dietary oxalic acid sources, I dont think milk or meats are on that list)

@farmerman,

It's nice having a list of foods to avoid for those prone to kidney stone attacks. I already know what foods to avoid and that's milk. I haven't had an attack in 10 years, but I know if I drink a quart of milk today I will have an attack tomorrow. It took a lot of pain and suffering to come to that conclusion. Back when I couldn't afford to even have a test run, I had to find it all out for myself.

A kidney stone attack is no laughing matter. Imagine someone punching you in the kidney every 2 seconds for 2 hours. That's what a kidney stone is like.

It's not so much the food as it is the metabolic syndrome resulting from improper diet. in other words.. it's not so much avoiding oxalates as it is ensuring their expulsion is working properly. If you have ever formed a kidney stone and from that time have not made significant dietary changes the true cause of the condition still exists in your body.

Somehow what I'm saying is not getting across. I have made dietary changes and I have eliminated kidney stones.

I got that... I was merely stressing the importance of testing for nutritional deficiencies and trying to dispel the belief of food avoidance as the cure. Oxalic acid may be an anti-nutrient but the foods that are rich in it are important sources for nutrition.

You were eating kidney stones?

@edgarblythe,

I eliminated the kidney stones by changing my diet.

My mother in law had stone material that filled the entire kidney. She eventually had to lose the kidney. I'm not sure what she ate on a regular basis. I too believe that diet is mostly the key to such issues.

I drink milk pretty regularly. If it's supposed to bad for us now, I'll need some evidence.

I'm on the 2% train myself.

Well, if you're waiting on scientific studies you might as well take a seat. You'll find many institutions are funded by industry that don't have interest in whether or not food can help or harm the body.

This is completely true. Money trumps everything. From the ADA to the scientists who sign off on dietary guidelines.
