Goatein - Thanks for answering my question about goatein

[Guest guest]

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!

Thanks
