Alas - as much as I enjoy dairy (especially goat milk), I can't drink it without causing a psoriasis breakout. How the heck does a trait like that make it down the tree?

It might be the processing (pasteurization destroys enzymes), try raw ? Also try fermented, it's superior in all aspects (got to like sour taste).

I love kefir and ryazhenka, but never had it without also having pasteurized milk mixed in the diet. Will definitely try it now I've been off dairy a few months. Raw milk sales in Texas are tricky, until this summer you could only buy on-site of the farm where it's produced. New regulations make it easier so maybe it will start popping up in farmers' markets.

If you keep on drinking unpasteurized milk, you might end up with something far worse than psoriasis. Listeria infection is very nasty and dangerous.
