Re: Casein, Lactose, Whey, Glutathione, SCD

[Guest guest]

Pointing to casein may miss the point in some cases.

A stool test I did through www.enterolab.com (I don't know how good

they are, but the fact that you can get a sample kit and do the test

without a doctor's prescription gives it a thumbs up in my book) that

showed I don't have a problem with casein (it did show a problem with

gluten). So why wouldn't whey work?

If I'm reading Gottschall right, the problem is not with casein, but

with lactose, because it's a disaccharide and difficult to digest,

requiring functioning microvilli and sufficient enzymes.

Illustrations in her book make it quite clear.

She says her yogurt helps because the 24-hour length of fermentation

converts all the lactose to galactose (a monosaccharide/single sugar,

easily absorbed).

So I think in my case:

Gluten consumption with an unknown gluten sensitivity ruined the

microvilli and digestive enzymes, so lactose can't be digested, and

whey protein powder does nothing but clog things more.

The guts of autistic kids are a mess to different degrees, right?

Maybe it's the gluten for some, maybe it's the casein, maybe it's the

live measles virus in the MMR vaccine. But the end result may be the

same, and Gottschall's model explains it: the small intestine is

injured so nothing but monosaccharides can get digested, until

disaccharides and polysaccharides are eliminated and some healing can

take place.

What I am reading about SCD is that some are using homemade goat

yogurt, it is a different type of casein, and it is fermented for 24

hours, which breaks down the casein and consumes the lactose. That

will be the only dairy I will have except for the Immune Pro/Goatien

that I have been taking, that are not approved for SCD.
