Good morning beautiful Carol. I have eaten and drank all of that and no problem so far. Those are the things I did before this gMG and didn't think about it. I take prednisone but I take a water pill because I have high blood pressure. Girl you know I'm crazy and test myself first and if i pass out I taught my cat to call 911😂🤣. I tell my neurologist everything he laughs and then I do what he says🥰. Baby always do what your Dr says, do not follow me that would not be good for you😍. Let's all drink our coffee, good morning family, Meta
I am lactose intolerant and have been for over 10 yrs. I do however buy dairy that is lactose free. The other side to that coin is because dairy products, lactose free or not, are animal products that have fat and cholesterol. So whether or not you tolerate dairy (which can cause intestinal distress if lactose intolerant) if inactive, you may experience weight gain. Since I am lactose intolerant, and have intestinal distress with the Pyridostigmine alone, I do not consume regular dairy or even lactose free dairy very often. I have read that dairy may contribute to the onset of diabetes (another auto immune disease which those of us know if you have 1 auto immune you have a higher chance of developing another auto immune disease).
I have stopped all dairy (from cows) except for cheeses. I enjoy almond milk, coconut milk, oat milk, and Meyenberg goat milk (not the powdered version). The plain almond milk is indistinguishable from cow's milk in almost every way. My daughter enjoys chocolate almond milk. All of them except the oat milk last well beyond their expiration dates. I have found that oat milk goes bad by the expiration date. None of these bother my gMG.
I try and leave a gap of at least an hour or more after ,I’ve had my medication,especially my morning meds .I do drink and eat dairy products and eggs and find I don’t have other issues with it
