Guest guest Posted October 22, 2006 Report Posted October 22, 2006 Which is better assimilated from people's experiences, ghee or raw cow's milk? I have used ghee this past week for myself & found myself to be a bit gassy. The baby still nurses & he broke out in eczema, that I now think could be related to the ghee, so I won't be using it anymore & see how he does. I noticed that some cheeses are allowed on SCD, & we would be using raw cow's milk cheese. If I had some of that would it be more tolerable to very dairy sensitive individuals then the ghee? I thought ghee would be fine since it's casein free, but apparently we must be super sensitive becz it doesn't seem to be working out here. Thanks, Michele Quote

I tolerate dairy on and off and that includes raw cow cheese and pasteurized cheese as well as legal goat cheese. However, I can go weeks being OK with it and a small flare means caused by anything at all means I have to stop for a few days. Butter has never been problematic. When I made the Ghee, i liked it so much that I used it too often. Carol F. SCD 6 years, celiac Quote
Guest guest Posted October 23, 2006 Report Posted October 23, 2006 Well ghee SHOULD be easier to digest than cheese, because traditionally it is the proteins (such as casein) which cause classic allergies. Ghee is casein-free or nearly so, depending on the brand. Cheese, on the other hand, is casein condensed. But people are different, and sensitivities vary. You could be sensitive to all dairy; you could have a issue digesting fats; there could be some die-off or other issue going on. Good luck figuring it out. I know someone who does three challenges before he decides that something is the culprit. Lorilyn Quote
Guest guest Posted October 23, 2006 Report Posted October 23, 2006 I went off the ghee as of Sunday, but had raw cow's milk cheese Sun, & yet his eczema is clearing up today. He has been stuffy for the past 2 days though. It all could be die off still (figuring out what's what is so confusing sometimes). I'm off both now so I'll try the ghee in another week & see what happens.
