Hello Amelia...

Thanks for your reply. I have tested positive for milk protein and casein on

four different allergy tests, IGg, scratch test, etc. However, I have never been

able to notice any difference using dairy. Avoiding it has never helped or

hindered as far as I can tell. Do you know what one can expect with a milk

protein and casein allergy?

Cleveland Clinic site says no Ghee allowed with milk protein allergy. Confusing.

Thank you...

Dinah

would consider not using it. But if it isn't a TRUE allergy and just a

sensitivity, you should be just fine. I have a friend whose son is allergic to

milk, but can eat regular butter just fine. Ghee is butter heated and 'cooked'

until the milk solids start to clump together, but not burnt. It is then

strained and what is left is just the oil -- no milk solids. Most commercial

Ghee is about 99% pure. It is easy to make yourself as well.

I have had comprehensive food allergy testing several times in my

life. Every time I have tested allergic to every food they tried me

on. Some low, some very high, a few off the charts. But, in no case

did these scores ever correlate with reactions (or lack thereof) when

I ate the various foods. Milk/cheese was always a high one for me

and my reaction was always a nasty rash. Because of horrible

causation of gut problems for 27 years before I found SCD I had no

dairy at all until I'd been on the diet for 6-7 months. I'm having no

trouble at all with the SCD legal cheeses, no gut reactions, no rash,

nothing that I can identify. But I don't think my reactions when I

had troubles before would necessarily be the same as someone else's.
