Go to a physician and have yourself tested for allergies to shellfish and dairy products. It may save your life.
Second: my guess would be likely you are lactose intolerant and how the shrimp is prepared is important.
Some sauces have milk products and with addition of additional cream sets you over the edge.
So if there is time that passes you are dealing with only one serving of dairy product.
Thats my guess anyway.
Remember I am not a doctor nor do I play one on TV.
Bad clams will make you violently ill no matter if you ingest after... or before shellfish. I absolutely love an order of whole-bellied, fried clams(with tar-tar sauce), slaw’... and a vanilla shake on a hot, summer night!
because its trafe?
Do you ever get the “sick” feeling from either just ice cream or just shellfish? Or, is it the combination that does it every time?
Have you considered that it is not just the shellfish or the dairy but a combination of these two that you are allergic to?
They digest at different rates in the body, so it doesn’t matter if you’ve waited before ingesting the other.
Remember: 14 hours from mouth to rectum!!!
Follow vetvetdoug’s advice...get tested for a shellfish allergy. It is the iodine most people are allergic too...and it can be ‘a tolerance’ type allergen (nausaa, then builds to nausea w/ vomiting, leading to an even more severe anaphalxis reaction—the swelling of the throat air passage ways). Nothing to mess with. I have to carry an EpiPen and wear a medic alert tag (iodine can be used in emergency medical procedures—so ER staffs need to know of potential life threatening reactions). Avoid shellfish until you learn if you are trully allergic as reaactions ‘increase’ in severity w/subsequent exposures.
There are people who eat Kosher who aren’t even Jews, just for the health benefits.
Maybe you are Jewish and don’t know it.
Any ideas?
In my considered medical opinion, if you know it makes you sick then don't do it.
Google "Shellfish allergy" and take your pick.
I don’t know whether this helps:
In my culture (a fish eating culture) it is considered poisonous to mix dairy and fish in any way. Especially milk or yogurt after eating shellfish.
It’s something that our Mother’s teach us at a young age.
There’s something to it, we’ve been around for 8,000 years ;_^)
Because you’re Jewish and God has dietary laws?
This is my guess, but your digestion of the shellfish may also be lowering your normal levels of lactase for some reason. If you want to eat more dairy then you either have to take a supplement like lactaid or simply wait a day to be safe and eat your dairy.

*psst* It’s the shellfish, not the dairy. Anyone who willingly eats a huge bug deserves to get sick. /s
