Of course it depends on whether you have an allergy. I have a definite milk allergy, if I have even minute amounts of dairy I get symptoms, including (since my teenage years) neurological ones. But I have absolutely no problem with wheat, and eat lots of bread.

I am lactose intolerant now.Years ago I got hives every day for a while and I went to an allergist where I went through various tests,it was determined I was allergic to wheat but not much came out of not eating it.Now I eat wheat and nothing happens.I guess when I was younger I was overly sensitive and now it is leveling out,what the chemicals in the body and the brain and how they react with one another.

I can do bread for very long stints without getting ill, and I mean abnormally long like eating bread twice a day every day for six months. However I cannot touch dairy. I am severely lactose intolerant and things like butter make me break out in hives.

I must avoid dairy, which is most difficult because I would swallow a large, whole, uncooked, live house cat for a morsel of cheese, any kind of cheese. Some say that with "our kind" the dairy is broken down to substances which fit the receptor sites of the opiod receptors in our brains.
I have not yet decided about grains and gluten.

Dont have any problem with either.

But both lactose intorlence, and gluten intolerence, are fairly common food allergies.

You could have both.

You can, just dont overdo it with milk.

and never ever eat normal bread, you know that white stuff that makes you fat, empty calories and doesnt settle hunger, and never eat butter as well.

You need rye bread, thats were good for you, and a good way to live healthy.

Sadly from what i hear in my countries they apparently dont have this or its very hard to get. Then its no wonder people are obese.

Not sure what i would eat, i mean you can only eat so much chicken and vegetables. Rye bread is easy, healthy and you can take it with you ready to eat.

Yes, I can eat bread and drink milk.

Bread and milk are delicious to me.

I want some bread and milk right now, but I don't have any.

I didn't think I had a problem with either bread or milk. Bread and cheese I'd still say is my favorite food (I just haven't had them in almost 2 years.) But then I found out I have celiac disease. There was never, ever, ever any indication for me that bread or wheat was making me sick. I never liked barley or beer much, (beer made me bloated) but that's it.

After being gluten free I found that I suddenly found that couldn't stomach dairy. (I theorize that that only became noticeable after stopping gluten because gluten, in celiacs, causes a leaky gut, basically your intestinal lining will have larger gaps in it than normal which means larger molecules will pass through whole into your bloodstream. I figure the lactose was getting absorbed whole instead of fermenting in my gut. Either that or I was always bloated and as such I never made any sort of connection.) Since hearing about and reading a couple of studies that suggest that a subset of celiacs might be getting a similar autoimmune reaction to alpha and beta caseins, I cut all dairy out completely. I still do want to try adding it back into my diet, but not until I feel super healthy.

I would run to the doctor to get tested for celiac disease if I suspected that wheat was making me sick.
