Casein in dairy is problematic

Do you know about casein? Casein is a protein found in cow milk. So it is in dairy food abound. Yes, your favorite yogurt has casein in it. Cheese, etc.

I would like to cover casein and the problems it has gives me. I first discovered issues when I was using a supplement called calcium caseinate. I was about half way through a tub of the protein and I was going ill. Of course if i'm going ill I'm also getting depressed. I finally figured out that it was the casein that was causing me to feel very tired and miserable. I also was having stomach (inflammation) issues and throat issues on top of it.

If I have milk or cheese I will want more milk and cheese and before I know it I have the same problems. The absolute worse is calcium caseinate. Micellar casein or any casein is an issue. Protein powder supplements are starting to use a lot of this casein in their products because some casein proteins like calcium caseinate is low cost. This is where you could end up getting a lot in your diet if you are not looking out. The other being straight dairy products. Casein is added to foods like imitation meats and a super long list of more foods you can look up with internet search.

One super horrible thing about taking in a lot of casein is awful breath. Do you have bad smelling breath? Check your diet for casein. Eliminate dairy and give it a few weeks and you might find yourself with nice smelling breath once again.

There are thousands of reasons why people choose to stay away from dairy products. There is also a slight difficulty to give up dairy and it could be because casomorphin which is what your body can produce with casein. It has opiate like functions. Drug opiates are about eight times stronger than what casomorphin is capable of. Still it is there and will have some withdraw symptoms when you remove the dairy. So expect to not feel so great once you remove it. Once you get over the bad part you will start to feel much better without the dairy in your diet.

Being mindful of what foods contain casein will take time to learn. Check labels at the store and figure it out before you throw it in the cart. Dairy is not going to say that it has casein included on the label. It simply goes that all dairy has casein. Searching out other food items for added casein is what I'm referring to. Eating out will be difficult to know what is in the food. Menus should list ingredients and experience and knowledge will help you decide what to avoid.

I will note that eggs are excluded from since it is considered a dairy product.
