‘I DRANK CAMEL MILK FOR A MONTH, HERE’S WHAT HAPPENED’
This is a story about camels, their milk, and my bowel moments.
What could possibly be more interesting and attractive?
As a reporter on Sunday Night, I’m encouraged to get involved in the story as much as possible.
In the case of camel milk – all I had to do was drink some, right? Well, drink and document the effects, which has been a little tricky.
See, I’m one of those people who repeatedly test negative to allergies and intolerances.
According to multiple tests, I should be able to digest the main culprits: wheat, gluten, dairy, eggs and nuts.
Yet I’m embarrassed to say, my stomach tells me otherwise.
For the past 10 years, I’ve had a sensitive and weak constitution. I get cramps, sharp pain, bloating followed by the bathroom dramas.
It’s humiliating and frustrating.
Sometimes there’s a pattern. Most times, there’s not.
My doctor strongly believes I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome. I’ve been asked to have a colonoscopy and urged to try a food elimination diet but make every excuse under the sun to dodge both.
I like so many Australians, just watch what I eat, and put up with the symptoms.
So never in my wildest dreams did I imagine turning to camel milk to help the symptoms.
To me, the whole concept was plain weird.
Who wants to drink milk that comes from a camel?
They spit, they kick, they smell, they grunt and a whiff of their bad breath is enough to make you pass out.
I figured there was no point to investigating the health benefits of camel milk if I wasn’t drinking it myself.
For the past two months I traveled through the Middle East and outback Australia, investigating if the benefits of camel’s milk were fad or fact.
I spoke to many families who drink it to treat their child’s autism or asthma.
One man I spoke to suffers from Common Variable Immune Deficiency and swears by it being a staple in his diet.
The list doesn’t end there. The science behind the milk – known as ‘white gold’ – shows it can also help treat diabetes, cholesterol, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Crohn’s disease, hepatitis and leaky gut.
Nearly everyone I met told me it has helped.
It sounded too good to be true. Annoyingly, some were even calling it a ‘super food’.
I was comfortably skeptical.
