It sounds like your son might be dealing with more than one problem: a casein allergy (to cow's milk) as well as a possible lactose intolerance. I would think that lactose would be the principle difference between products like goat cheese and goat yogurt as opposed to fresh goat milk. That would certainly complicate things for him. I'd recommend getting some lactase drops (I understand that many people with lactose intolerance use dropper bottles of lactase for treating their milk so they can tolerate it). It also comes in pill form; use whichever form you are most comfortable with. If your son can tolerate goat milk that has had lactase added to it, then you pretty much know for certain that's the problem (with goat milk anyway, cow's milk sounds like it might have been a different story). That brings me to the second point. Kefir " grains " are made of bacteria, yeast and a polysacharide gel that are produced by the micro-organisms. The kefir " grains " are naturally occurring symbiotic colonies of micro-organisms. They are made neither of milk nor of any of milk's components. Milk sugars are one of the foods that the kefir organisms can live on. Kefir " grains " can be used to culture any kind of milk or even many juices, starches, or sweetened teas. So, yes, if your child can tolerate goat milk yogurt, kefir made from goat milk should work fine. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 18, 2002 Report Share Posted July 18, 2002 Hello , Thanks for answering my questions. My son loves goat milk and since milk is a complete protein I was happy that he could drink it. Maybe he'll like the kefir just as well.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2002 Report Share Posted July 18, 2002 Adelle died of cancer, so she didn't know as much as Price did. As for powdered milk, NT says on page 13 that the cholesterol is damaged in it. Hope this helps, Ed ----- Original Message ----- From: gailz059 Sent: Wednesday, July 17, 2002 6:54 PM Subject: Goatein - Thanks for answering my question about goatein Hello, Thanks to all of you for answering my question about goatein powder. If anyone has read the Adelle books you might remeber her suggestion to mix milk and milk powder and some other things (I can't remeber exactly what)together in order to creat a high nutrition drink. She seems to have a sensible outlook regarding nutition. Since she was giving advice a generation ago things may have changed and her advice may be not completely accurate. The reason I was asking about the Goatein product is that my son can't use cow milk, cow yogurt (with pectin anyway), cow milk solids, or cow casein. He can eat cow butter, goat cheese and goat yogurt without a problem. We tried goat milk for 5 days and it seems to be causing the same problems that cow milk did. I thought we could use the goatein but it does not look promising since the goat milk seems to be a problem. I have called the suppliers to ask for more detail about the milk proteins. Can anyone here comment on why someone would be able to tolerate goat cheese and yogurt but not goat milk? What is in goat milk that is not in yogurt or cheese? Is it the whey? Someone suggested that I try making my own goat milk kefir. Aren't the kefir grains based on cow milk? And is what is kefir made of? Is it mostly whey? Any insight would be appreciated!

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2002 Report Share Posted July 18, 2002 Hello , Well I guess that is the rest of the story. I always wondered what happened to her. Regardless, some of her insight is valuable today, especially in comparison to " conventional medicine " insight that has been presented to me.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2002 Report Share Posted July 18, 2002 Hi, Adelle thought she got cancer from a two sets of total body x- rays. The first set was unclear so she had the second set the same day. Big mistake. I do agree that her diet my not have been as good as Price's, but it was far superior to the SAD diet of many American's. I was told she met with Price one time. I would love to know what they discussed. Maybe we will find out as more and more papers and information about Price emerges and is sent to the Price-Pottenger Organization. Adelle was far from a failure. I am sorry to hear she even felt that way about herself. She helped a great many people regain their health and also contributed greatly to the field of nutrition. All my best, Sheila -- In @y..., " Darmohray " <edarmohray@e...> wrote: > You're right, Gail. I read her stuff for years, and was sorry when I heard she had cancer. She said at the time that she was a failure. But not entirely, by any means. I think she just didn't understand the damage that could be done to food thru processing. > Ed > ----- Original Message ----- > From: gailz059 > @y... > Sent: Wednesday, July 17, 2002 9:02 PM > Subject: Re: Goatein - Thanks for answering my question about goatein > > > Hello , > > Well I guess that is the rest of the story.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2002 Report Share Posted July 18, 2002 Hello, The idea of high temperature processing is interesting. I called two sites selling the product and both suppliers suggested that ultrapaterization of the milk might be contributing to the problem. Every one here probably knows more about this that I do but it does seem that high temperature processing of milk (in the microwave, under pasterization, or elsewhere) does create problems. The milk was Meyenburg ultrapasturized with D3 added in. It tasted good and milk is a complete protein. I am beginning to be obsessed with milk because it is the one complete protein that my son likes. I guess the the yogurt and cheese are complete proteins(?) but too much cheese can constipate. Both the cheese and the yogurt were pasterized. It seems the issue is ultrapasterization, alteration of the casein when cheese is made or possibly lactose in the milk. Or maybe the casein in goat milk is too similar to that in the cow's milk. In any case thank you all for all the detective work.
