A member asked:

I was advised to not consume dairy products after i tested positive for covid, what is the main reason, if this is true after how many days can i eat dairy products?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dairy : A large number of the adult population is lactose intolerant. The medical literature contains mixed information as to whether diary increases or reduces inflammation. In this blinded trial, a dairy-free diet was associated with a significant reduction in self‐reported levels of nasopharyngeal secretions. I recommend a dairy-free diet to COVID 19 patients
