Does anyone know if drinking too much milk is bad for you?
I ask as it seems to be the only thing my boy is drinking at the moment. He must drink about 6-8 glasses a day. Sometimes even more.

I doubt the milk caused it. They might have been a slight correlation but you couldn't say that drinking the milk alone caused the hernia.
And as far as I'm aware, there's no problem with drinking lots of milk. Unless he's lactose-intolerant, but I think he'd have realised by now.
I'm the same, easily finish off 2 pints in a day. My favourite non-alcoholic drink by far!
Cows milk apparently isn't great for the human digestion and it can build up mucus in the gut. if you are black it can often mean you're intollerant to it.
But, yes, it's great for bones. Everyone should drink more water though!
I mainly found stuff about breastfeeding, but some of the stuff I found regarding this issue suggested that it might help cause iron deficiency (I think it was that).
I've not heard anything concrete though..
Edited to add: Ahh.. just found a source (in Icleandic so I wont link to it ) that says that too much calcium can prevent the body from being able to absorb as much iron, zink, and magensium (hope those are the correct words ). It didn't say how much was too much though.
I found a similar source also (in English ) and it also said that too much could cause the above problems. But again never said how much as too much. :mad:
I know it wasnt just the milk but it was one of the few factors that caused it.
