    Hi, Sandy.

    I have Crohns and Diverticulitis and have no problem with milk or other dairy products but everyone is different.

    I heard about this a long time ago but it was old research in the 90s. Recently I was informed it may have some relevance, not relating to being lactose intolerant or as a result of TB in cows but something else. I would be interested in finding out what the latest research is suggesting, if there is a long term issue as I too have no problem drinking milk on a day to day business. It seemed to suggest a link between having a crohns gene and something in milk causing crohns.
