You can get very sick from raw (unpasteurized) milk and products made with it, including soft cheeses (such as queso fresco, blue-veined, feta, brie and camembert), ice cream, and yogurt. Raw milk is also high in lactose, which is a sugar found in milk.
Lactose can cause gas, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, headaches, muscle aches and fatigue. It can also increase your risk of developing type 2 diabetes, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
