Hi Tina,

Thanks for the welcome. I'm in the Dallas-Ft.Worth area.

You mentioned in your post that you used to use raw goat's milk for

your children but found that cow's milk easy to digest. Would you

please share your story about this?

I'm curious because I've been told that goat's milk is easier to digest

and therefore more tolerable to people who are allergic to cow's milk.

Does it have to do with whether a person is allergic to the protein in

cow's milk or have an intolerance for the lactose in the milk? We seem

to be allergic to the protein in the cow's milk.

TIA.

CW

Tia, when you say you are allergic to the protein, are you talking about store bought cow's milk or raw milk?

I've always heard that goats milk was easier to digest as well, but I don't like it so I have my mini cow and drink hers with no problem.

CW,

We have had no probelms w/ the casein in Jersey milk. We have never had raw

milk from a holstien or ayershire type of cow, so we can not compare.

Some people say it is the enzymes present in raw milk that makes it less

allergenic, and others say that Jerseys and Guernseys actually have a higher

persentage of the A2 protein as opposed to A1.There is lots of research

being done in Britan, Austrailia and NZ concerning A2, and some milk is

actually marketed there according to the type of casein in the milk. The US

is just beginning to pay attention to this.

However, anectodally, my 22 YO who has been lactose intolerant all her life,

with serious bladder symptoms, has displayed no symptoms when drinking

either goat milk or Jersey milk, whereas she has never been able to drink

commercial cows milk.

I have not had my cows tested, and have really not done much reading on the

theory therefore can not say with any certainty that the A2 theory is

accurate, but it could be one explaination for my daughter's success and for

some of my other kids who live snuffly when they eat commercail dairy.

The other possibility is that unprocessed milk is just a wonderful food, and

contains all the body needs to digest it well, it heals and nourishes

excellently, and it is the processing alone that has caused my children's

problems.

Either way. I would say it is worth a try.

Hi KC,

It was me, CW, that's allergic to the protein in cow's milk.

It's store bought cow's milk that my family has had. However, my mother

who grew up on a farm says that raw cow's milk would give her terrible

stomach cramps but buttermilk would not. Maybe it had something to do

with the fermentation of the buttermilk that helped?

I have big time problems with store bought milk all my adult life. It's the homogenization. Have had no problems since I've had my own cow. It's not the protein, it's the processing that corrupts the protein and lactose and fat.

I think if you try raw milk, you will find that you won't have the same problems.

I don't know why your mom has had problems with raw milk. Could be she needs to drink some kefir or something to get the good flora working.

I make buttermilk with culture and its great.
