Hey thanks also Jad, i really hope it was the seafood, but would it take that long? ive also been told by someone that eating seafood(esp shellfish) and drinking milk doesnt go well together…ah well, i bought two bottles of milk, maybe i should open the other one and try it next. the one i tried tasted fine.
Possibly one other thing was some flavoured nuts i bought that were on special at coles…for $1 coz the best before date was the next day…they were salt and vinegar flavoured peanuts and cashews…and i just couldnt resist, and i had a large handful of those, and soon after i had the first sip of milk…maybe it was the nuts or a bad reaction between the nuts and milk…and i usually eat pretty good, those two days were just a rare bad spell for me and look what happens! haha, ive thrown the rest of the nuts out since then. Im still feeling it a bit in my stomach, but im alot better. thanks

thanks for the reply Lana, but ive never had that sort of really bad reaction to any kind of milk, regular milk only made me feel bloated and gassy, and i had no reaction to lactose free milk (obviously), and not much reaction to any other dairy, though i may get a bit bloated and gassy if i have alot of ice cream. Along with what i wrote before, I had a raised temperature since then and cudnt sleep properly that night, aswell as a headache and overall weakness. Im still feeling some pain in my stomach though i have almost recovered now. I might try some again on friday in the afternoon and see what happens, and im making sure to eat all ’safe’ foods.

Sebastian, lactose wont cause a reaction like that though. Sounds like a pretty classic case of food poisoning. May have been the milk, perhaps it wasnt handled properly in the place you bought it, or had a small hole in it somewhere, generally it would tase horribly sour though if that were the case.
Sounds much more likely to be the seafood. I LOVE seafood but if I have gone overboard, particulalry eating a lot of shellfish, I have had similiar reactions just coz of the richness of it all. However if you also felt nauseous/sick etc, its more likely to have been a bit of off seafood.
If it persists any longer see your GP for some tests, most of the time these things go away in 24 hours. I had it once from adding raw yolks to my smoothie, done it plenty of times before then one time mustve been a bad egg and whoah was not fun the next day!
Hope your feeling better !

Sebastian, it was the milk. There’s nothing wrong with Cleopatras that would have caused that, but if you are lactose intolerant then you will react to any kind of milk. It makes no difference whether it’s organic, raw or supermarket rubbish - lactose is still lactose.

I read about the herdshare scheme today in The Good Living supplement of The Sydney Morning Herald. It is an excellent idea and only a shame it has come to this through lack of choice. I will definitely be taking part. Christine, Sydney

Hi,

Does anyone know of herdshare happening near Kangaroo Valley or Berry way? We’ll be moving there around the middle of next year and are keen to be part of a herdshare group. Thanks.

hi, i just got my first order in of cleopatra’s milk today here in sydney, and was eager to try it. unfortunately, when i got home and had a sip, i started to feel a bit uneasy in the stomach, and then had another sip about 30min later, probably totalling 100ml or so. I then had, a bad case of diarrhea about an hour later, and have spent alot of the night in the toilet since….I have previsouly had a mild lactose intolerance which made me gassy with regular milk, and have been drinking lactose free milk for the past couple of years.
At the moment im getting stomach pain and a slight feeling to vomit. Im hoping this wasnt due to the milk but it seems most likely.

Could it be a case of bad bacteria? or just lactose intolerance. One thing i will also note is that yesterday i had a long physically gruelling soccer tournament, and then had a presentation night at a seafood restaurant, with a buffet. Ive never particularly liked seafood that much, and its probably the most and widest variety ive ever had, I was very full. Its possible that could be a reason too. i still feel quite ill. Has anyone else had or heard of any bad experiences with cleopatra’s bath milk? any help or suggestions?

thankyou, sebastian
