A little history:
My dd7 has had severe temper tantrum issues since she was very little. We have just always looked at it as this was the way she was, very moody, easy to set off, gets upset over little things. No matter what she is told to do there is usually a tantrum involved and a battle to get something done if she will even do it.
She is in the first grade, very smart, towards the top of the class, however she has had a hard time completing her work, gets easily distracted, cries if things don't go her way, etc.....
I had a meeting with her teacher last Friday about how this behavior is going to effect her next year in 2nd grade and beyond. We talked about some of her behavior at home and how she has severe temper tantrums and how she is easily agitated over the smallest of things.
The teacher started talking about how similar in some ways my dd was to her dd now in 8th grade. The similarities were astonishing. Somehow we got on the subject of how my dd was a huge milk drinker, and she said how her dd was too and that someone had told her to try knocking out milk from her dd's diet. She said there was a definite difference in her behavior.
We stopped dd from drinking milk on Friday (was kind of tough for dd at first as milk is her drink of choice) By Saturday she was a totally different child. We were able to tell her to do something and she just did it without throwing a fit. She didn't have tantrums all weekend and she seemed much calmer.
On Saturday she decided she wanted to learn to ride her 2 wheeler, something she wanted no part of and refused to even ride her bike all last summer. Within an hour dd was riding her 2 wheeler. Now this may seem like a simple thing, but normally she would have given up after the first try of not being able to do it and would have been screaming and having a fit. But she calmly kept trying until she got it.
She seemed very much more in control of herself, we were able to reason with her, carry on a normal converstation with her without her getting angry and upset about something. She did not seem to be as easily agitated as she normally is. She is a totally different child.
I am wondering if anyone else has a child that is a huge milk drinker that is very explosive and with similar behavior tendencies? I have tried googling it and found a few things to do with milk and behavior, but very little.

Over the years I've learned my body so I know what I am allergic to and how it reacts so that is how I know the blood test is more accurate for me.
. She wanted a glass of milk really bad after school today, I told her we were still doing a milk experiment and needed to stop drinking milk for a while. Instead of throwing her fit and screaming, I was able to reason with her, I told her that if she gave up milk for a while I would give up chocolate, then she asked me what her dad and sister would give up, so I asked her what she wanted them to give up. She thought for a moment and said her sister had to give up chocolate too and her dad had to give up beer 
. I just cannot tell you how amazed I am with this, before it would have been an hour of tantrums and me just finally giving up because I was at my wits end.
