goat milk

[Guest guest]

I'm wondering if anyone's children on gfcf diets can drink goat's milk without

seeing the problems associated with cow's milk. I know that the proteins are

similar; that is, in a strictly allergic sense that people allergic to cow milk

are frequently but not always allergic to goat's milk. However, I don't know if

this applies to autism.

Looking for an excuse to get a dairy goat:-)

This has been discussed before and I remember the conclusion was that goat's

milk also has casein it it and therefore, a no-no. Sorry about the goat,

goat milk

when i joined this group last summer, i asked if anyone was trying

goat milk and i got one reply, " UGH " . the day after my son was dx'd

autistic i bought a goat because lactose intolerant peolple can drink

it. I found out later, it's lower in lactose, but has casein, but

made up differently. Shortly after that, i figured if he were

getting casein anyway i might as well let him have some vanilla ice

cream he had been crying for that someone was cruel enough to buy. I

let him and with in hours i could not believe the change. All the

old behaviors, weird screaming, head banging, aggressiveness all came

back full force. I had no idea he'd gotten so much better until this

happened.

But goats dry up. In Nov they were bred and so we switched to rice

and soy (why hadn't someone posted that homemade recipe then? Thank

you, BTW). We've noticed vast improvements since then, but he also

started ABA in Dec.

Now will be the true test. One of my goats delivered Tues, and i'll

start milking her a little on Sat. Jorgan Klaveness, a gfcf expert

who posts here sometimes that i respect very much, has said not to

challenge with goat milk because they're too similar, but, well, i'm

gonna try it. In ' Special Diets for Special Kids book the

forward by Dr. Bernard Rimland states that an autistic girl could

tolerate reindeer milk (the only kind available while her family got

transferred to a remote part of Canada in the 60s) but not cow milk,

so it might be possible.

I'm not supposed to post (my dh is concerned for our safety--so i

agree not to post and in return he doesn't own handguns, my fear),

but this is something i feel strongly about so did anyway.

His reactions to cows milk have become much more sensitive over the

winter when there's an infraction, as we've gotten closer to 100% and

the longer on the diet we've been so i think we'll know with in hours

if we can go back. It's so much easier to work with then the usual

substitutes and i'm not bothered by the slight taste difference at

all.
