                                While some sources suggest avoiding all dairy after a concussion due to concerns about saturated fats, scientific reviews have found that for most healthy people, dairy does not have a pro-inflammatory effect. Determining if you can eat dairy with a concussion depends heavily on individual tolerance and the type of dairy consumed.
