I don't know about everyone else but, as much as LOVE milk (truly, I crave it when I'm sick and when I was pregnant) from what I have read, cow's milk is highly acidic and can upset your stomach and intestinal linings, whether you are sick or not. I've tried the soy, almond, etc., milks but did not care for any of them. However, I recently discovered "coconut milk" (non-flavored) in the organic section of the dairy case. It is the closest thing I've found to milk. They make in plain or vanilla flavor. I prefer the plain and I was pleasantly surprised that it does not taste like a coconut which I thought it would. Hope this info helps.

You have to be real careful drinking milk with the antibiotics. I forget which one is nutrialzed by milk. Drink milk longer than 2 hours before and 4 hours after. That does not leave much time. Milk makes you feel good because it removes some of the side effects of the antibiotics. I made that mistake. I am lucky I healed anyway.
