Hey medical/food coso: what the hell is in Parmesan cheese that kicks the crap out of my stomach? It's usually an hour after eating.
It's a low lactose food, and it seems like the better quality cheeses are worse.
maybe the rennet? @sheseala
@Armchaircouch hmm not something I've looked into

That or the bacteria would be my guess.
The higher the quality, the longer it's been left to mature (in most cases, anyway) which means higher levels of the bacteria which give it much of its character. The bacteria aren't usually harmful but if your body is a bit intolerant, that might be why.
@stueytheround @Armchaircouch my searching just now lead me to learn there is something called abdominal migraine. I don't have anywhere near those issues that but omg why is that a thing.
