===========

I have an allergy to casein and don't know what the symptoms of a

lactose intolerance are. I think they are just GI disturbances

because when you have a lactose intolerance you lack the enzyme to

digest lactose. It is my understanding that people with lactose

intolerances can consume dairy if they take lactase, the missing enzyme.

however, if you are casein intolerant or allergic your body sets up

an immune reaction to the protein in the milk and the only treatment

is complete avoidance.

I had an accidental dairy ingestion last week. I got tarry stools,

flatulence, extreme fatigue, dreadful stomach cramps, unexplained

anger and joint painl.

I use coconut milk as a sub for regular milk in some things and not

others. I use a combo of rice milk, almond milk, darifree and coconut

milk.

I use coconut cream instead of regular cream. I make rice pudding

with coconut milk and use it in curries.

Darifree works when a recipe calls for powdered milk (I can taste the

potato though)

I try not to do too many subs in any of my cooking

It sounds more like a casein intollerance than a lactose

intollerance to me. From what I understand, lactose reactions tend

to be more immediate and more along the lines of gas and gramping.

Casein intollerances tend to have similar delayed reactions as

gluten and effects more than just the GI tract. I know I get

migraines from both gluten and casein. Last time I accidentally

took a pill containing lactose (no casein), I had a fairly immediate

allergic reaction but the reaction was gone within a day. Casein

reactions linger for me. You can test it with a soy cheese that

contains casein. They're generally free of lactose but still

contain casein so you'd know what you're reacting to if you react.

I don't use coconut milk very much. I've used it a few times ok in

creamy sauces or soups but I'm not sure about in baking. I

successfully use coconut oil/butter in baking.

Hi Shez,

I had a light bulb go off in my head - I am Casein intolerant. The

first awful experience I had was when I was about four and was forced

to drink fresh cows milk on a ranch with other kids. The reward was

ice cream, when they all finished they got their reward. I sat for

hours until I was able to finish it. It took me this long due to

trying to hold it down...well need I say it did not work at the end. I

felt triumphant, but defeated, as there were no more ice cream as the

kids got it all, just as well I probably would have gotten sick again.

I got a lousy hard strawberry lollipop, I don't care for lollipops

much these days. Ha, Ha... I never suspected Casein as I tolerated

homogenized milk...enough.

I love rice pudding but stopped having it because I could tell my body

did not care for it. I will try to make it again but this time with

coconut milk.

Is this your own personal recipe? " I use a combo of rice milk, almond

milk, darifree and coconut milk. " Mind sharing?
