Your Body Is Speaking
Milk is the first thing. Before you could form a thought, before you had a word for anything in this world, someone nourished you. At the breast or from a bottle — milk was the original yes to life. It was not simply food. It was the message: You are welcome. You are allowed to be here. We will take care of you.
And now your body says: No. Not that. Your immune system identifies cow's milk protein as an attack — casein, whey protein, substances that millions of other people absorb without a second thought. Your gut rebels, your skin reacts, your airways narrow. Your body treats the most basic of foods as an enemy. The medical question is: which protein is triggering the reaction? The other question — the one worth asking — is: why does your system resist what, at the deepest level, wants to nourish and welcome you?
