    This is exactly what happened to me. I drank a lot of kefir because it was so tasty and helped with loose stools, but somehow I became sensitized to it and now all dairy products provoke reactions.

    The full reaction is delayed and very unpleasant. After avoiding dairy for a while, tollerance increases but problems quickly return once dairy is reintroduced into the diet.

    @strategist, you've been gluten free while this happened?

    And were you on a heavy anti biotic before this kefir episode?

    I had to take a huge dose of Fluoroquinolone type antibiotic some 2-3 months before the kefir use.

    I don't remember if I was gluten free or not. I am now because I cannot afford any further GI inflammation. I have a genetic predisposition for celiac disease.

    Yes, this happend after I followed de Meirleir's treatment plan, which was a horrible mistake.

    Wow this was a treatment for ME? I had to take the antibiotic for pneumonia.
