I just started consuming raw dairy (milk, butter, and cheese). The raw milk tastes just like whole milk. The butter is amazing. The cheese is the best I've ever had.
Unfortunately, there aren't raw dairy farmers near me, so I have to order it. There's a good website called Realmilk.com which has drop locations all over. A week ago, while I was out of raw milk, and waiting for the next order, I bought some milk at the grocery store that I used to buy (organic, pasture raised, but still pasteurized). I began to notice that after I drank it, I felt like crap, a feeling I wasn't getting from drinking raw milk.
Over the years as I've slowly began to eliminate the bad stuff from my diet, I've noticed this more and more. I'd eliminate the unhealthy food with healthier foods, and any time I'd randomly cheat on my diet, and try to eat the unhealthy foods again, I'd feel awful (anywhere from 8 to 48 hours). It clearly takes a long time for our bodies to grow accustomed to that awful feeling we get from eating bad food. However, if this was purely a symptom of just changing our diet and needing time to grow accustomed to it, then switching to a diet of healthy foods should also trigger this awful feeling. It doesn't. I've never felt bad eating healthy foods, for the first time, or the 100th time. I know of many other people with similar experiences as well.

The bad experience with grocery store milk is likely less due to it being pasteurized, which should really not do much of anything to make you feel sick (while it does reduce nutrients, it does not actually make the milk unhealthy to consume) but it's more likely to be an intolerance to the a1 beta casein that's in most modern milk.
A1 protein is not bad per se but it's a protein that our bodies do not like and which you will develop an intolerance to if you stop consuming it, and then consume it again. It causes similar problems to lactose intolerance. A1 protein is the cause of the fairly recent phenomenon of white people deciding that they're lactose intolerant. A1 protein is the result of northern European cows developing a mutation a long time ago. Namely holstein cows. Recently, other cows have also had the same mutation to produce a1 protein.
If you drink a1 protein milk for your entire life, you'll develop a tolerance to it and it won't really impact you negatively. Kind of like how Mongolians are lactose intolerant naturally but just consume the fuck out of dairy anyways and thus have a tolerance to lactose most asians don't have.
However, considering that you hadn't drank it for a long time, since almost all raw milk is a2 protein almost exclusively (to add to the general health benefits of raw milk, they use a2 milk only so that it's more easily digested), your body is now reacting to a1 beta casein. It's not a protein that can be normally digested by most people regardless of race (probably, i dont know though. Almost all milk unless explicitly stated otherwise (or raw) is going to be a1 beta casein milk.
I don't have any issues with a1 milk though, so it varies based on the person. However I am of heritage from where a1 protein milk actually originates from, so I wonder if there is an ethnic bias for it or not.
Thanks for the heads up. You're right that the raw milk I've been drinking is A2. Not sure what the milk was that I got at the grocery store. I'll have to check next time I'm there.
