Suggest Remedies For Severe Abdominal Pain After Eating Cheese
Question: I ate craft Mac and cheese and got very sick and was overcome by severe abdom. pain. I can eat yogurt and want to try pizza again but not sure if it was just the powdered cheese I had a reaction to or if it's all cheese. I don't drink regular milk because it upsets my belly but I can eat yogurt and have no issue so I am not sure if it was just the processed powdered cheese that did it.
Brief Answer:
It is possible but let's gather some more information.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I will like to know if you had ever eaten that same cheese type before. If yes, then it might be unlikely to be the cause. If no, then I will suggest you keep pit out of future combinations and let's see what happens then. However, poorly prepared or stored food could also explain why you had these symptoms of an upset belly and the severe abdominal cramps.
Keep me posted when you try this out.

I used to eat Kraft Mac and cheese all the time growing up the more I ate it the more my belly hurt but I never thought anything of it and in 2014 I ate it and went to the hospital because it was forcing me to have excruciatingly painful bowel movements and felt as if my stomach was burning. so it made me scared to eat any cheese again but I am fine with ice cream and yogurt so I didn't know if I should try pizza since pizza is usually made with aged cheese like motzerella and not from a powder base.
