I used to be deathly allergic to milk and milk products (cheese, cream, cookies and the like)
I decided that that the dairy-free lifestyle was not for me, so I started DIY OIT. Basically, I’d dose myself with small amounts of dairy and increase the dosage until I could eat dairy freely. I did it with Greek Yogurt.
I started off with 1/8th of a teaspoon of Greek yogurt, went up to 1 teaspoon in a couple of months which translated to 1/3 of a tablespoon, and eventually started tolerating multiple tablespoons of Greek yogurt and being able to eat whatever in the span of 7 months.
Greek Yogurt separates into two parts: a solid curdy part and a liquid moat around the solid curdy part. The solid part is casein protein, and the liquid part is whey protein.
I initially only dosed the solid part since it was easier to split up. Someone in my family mixed the yogurt when I was at 1/2 of a teaspoon and I consumed whey protein for the first time.
Que being hospitalized.
TL;DR: Tried fixing my dairy allergy by dosing up Greek yogurt, someone mixed it up giving me some whey protein for the first time, sending me to the ER

No whey!
Happy you’re safe. What’s the next step!
Whey to go!
I’m allergic to a lot of things, including milk, but luckily not deathly allergic. Hope you get better soon
