I am suffering from asthma and whenever I drink milk, I suffer with respiratory problems. Any particular reason?
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, It is not clear from your question that at what time you use to take milk. In my opinion if you take milk in the morning, you will get fewer problems. But if you take it at bedtime, can create more problems. As you are suffering with asthma, you can be allergic to milk protein also. And if you are allergic to milk protein, then every time you take milk, you will suffer with respiratory problems irrespective of time. The 2nd reason, which can cause problem is poor digestion of milk protein. I want to tell you that as our age advances, our ability to digest milk generally decreases due to poor secretion of enzyme responsible for it, which can cause flatulence & thus aggravate respiratory problems. Thus, you should avoid all those foods, which aggravates your respiratory problems.  Wish you good health,
