I only get sleepy after I eat if I have fried foods or carbs. Dairy doesn't seem to bother me.

I switched to almond milk. Personally, I like Blue Diamond Almond Breeze better than the Silk almond product.

I stopped drinking milk a long time ago and use Almond Milk instead. Do eat some ice cream and cottage cheese and they don't seem to bother me in small amounts.

Dairy gives me diarrhea. Bread (gluten) gives me heart burn and increased muscle pain.

Milk/dairy products produce mucus as a general rule. I use almond milk for just about everything.
