" I tried this for my son but he had a reaction still, not as bad, but I had to eliminate any animal milk altogether. They also make water buffalo yogurt and sheep cheese. It's not bad. "

" the taste is, uh, unusual. if i mix it with something, i like it. but i have had hives and stuffy nose again the last two days. it came on after i ate an egg for breakfast yesterday. i tested negative to eggs, but that is never the way i feel.
guess i'll take goat cheese out for a week again, and start from ground zero.
desperate. has anyone tried acupunture for allergies? "

" i just learned from my son's allergist, then read online, that there can be 80-90 percent cross reactivity to goat's milk with a cow's milk allergy.
boo.
of course, all i want is a big cheese pizza right not, but i'm not going to do it! :-) "

" In my years of naturopathic allergy testing, I have only met one patient, intollerant to cows milk products, who was intollerant to goats milk products. If you are another goats prduct intollerant, then I suggest you try sheep's milk products, which you can find on the internet if all else fails. "

" My reaction to cow's milk is too severe to even try goat's milk. I also received the same info about goat's milk and cow's milk possibly be a cross reaction. I just stick to rice milk now. Much easier on my body.

I do miss CHEESE though. Pizza just isn't the same without it! "
