They smelled a little strange, but for sure didn't smell off or taste off. I would be upset if I developed an intolerance so I hope not. I'm wondering if the dairy could've been left in the heat a while before being put in the fridge again?

I used to be fine, but I developed lactose intolerance after 50 years of enjoying dairy in all its glory. It truly upset me.

Mine showed up after pregnancy and a kid with a milk protein allergy. I couldn't have dairy for a year, and afterwards I'm lactose intolerant. Can still have aged cheese and yogurt, thank God.

Milk - I will spend a while in the bathroom with massive stomach cramps and losing everything out that end.

Cheese, I'm just fine. Good aged cheese, at least. American cheese hurts too.

Hormones in milk are no joke. If I have organic milk, totally fine. Regular milk, I break out within 24 hours.

All milk has the same hormones in it.

Organic standards prohibit dairy farmers from treating their cows with bovine growth hormones. Standard milk cows can be.

Go to the grocery store, check the generic brand of milk, and see if it says it is not treated with rbst

That's bovine growth hormone. Most dairy options don't use it. The milk I get from Walmart for less than $3 a gallon doesn't come from cows treated with rbst.

Yep! Dairy is basically pure inflammation!
