Cheese, what’s in it?

(Mark) #21

Cheese has an opiate compound called casomorphin which makes it addictive and messes with dopamine,also tyramine which is a byproduct of the amino acid tyrosine,which some say causes headaches,some cheeses have more some have less

I’ve never found it addictive thankfully.

I’m going to cut it out completely for a while and will then maybe try different types to see how I get on, depending how I feel.

I have cut out cheese now
No more bloating or exhaustion
Butter I have no problems

feta, cream cheese, and occasional bleu cheeses—- I thought I could keep those in moderation. I still had minor symptoms
Did away w them :cry:
No symptoms now, feel better

I’ll prob still re introduce later still😃

@Tmdlkwd I wonder if we have the same intolerance of whatever it is? It’s the tiredness that hits me more than anything, then heartburn shortly afterwards. I think dairy needs to go… :frowning:

(Ethan) #25

does dairy in general have this?

(Troy) #26

@Shortstuff …could be so? I will keep you posted too. Once I reintroduce in about a week or so. Yes, I know what you mean. It’s more lethargic for me too. Then bloating etc…The last time, I actually had to actually lay down . That never happens to me!!
Like the beginning of flu symptoms ( although I have not been sick in awhile , thanks WOE😄)…

@Tmdlkwd how are you getting on with this?
I’ve removed hard cheese from my diet but have still been using cream, butter & cream cheese and am not having any of the issues I had when eating hard cheese.

I would agree with a lot of the cheeses being no difference from brand to brand, but Tillamook is a totally different story…Their cheese as so much more flavor to me. I even visited their factory when I was a kid…I wish I had been older so I could remember more…I just remember looking through a big window over the factory with huge vats of cheese everywhere!

@Shortstuff no issues
Thanks for asking
I removed all except butter
I’m Way better, no fatigue. Liking in so much, that I’m not really sure if I want to add back in anything now :grin:
I will soon. Mind over matter. Lol
Great to hear ur better too
I’m loving these own body trial and error :grinning:

@Tmdlkwd great news :slight_smile: Yes my fatigue has gone too, as well as the heartburn I had started having - I’m sleeping less but feeling more energised :grinning:
