What Causes Severe Stomach Ache After Using Milk And Honey?
Hello,
I used to use a lot of honey before as an alternative to sugar, in milk or milk shakes etc. But couple of months back when I again started drinking milk, I used honey in it and i have a very severe stomach ache and burning sensation in stomach. Later tried honey with cornflakes, in icecream and then knew the culprit was honey as whenever i take honey even in very less quantity same symptoms repete (stomach ache, cramps, burning sensation). This ache lasts more than 8 hours and is ver unberable.
Please advise what can be done to correct this allergy as I like to start using it back again.
Thanks a lot

HI.
The basic of treatment of any allergy is to keep away from honey; hence the first treatment is NOT to try honey at all. This has proved by your observations.
I do not think anything can be done in such cases.
There is a rare possibility that the honey you are taking might have such allergens.
You may try honey from altogether another source which may suit you.
If this too is not helping , please do not consume it.
