Dairy and the Alpha-Gal Friendly Diet

Dairy encompasses all products made from cow's milk, including milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, and cream. These products are rich in calcium, protein, and other nutrients, but they also contain a carbohydrate called alpha-gal, which can cause allergic reactions in individuals with alpha-gal syndrome, a condition triggered by a tick bite. Dairy is an integral part of many diets, known for its role in bone health and nutritional balance.
