hi and happy holidays. I was dianoised with LI about 7months ago. Strange thing is. I can drink some milk and eat baked products with milk in them with no problem. Cheese is a killer for me. But when I look at the ingredients in alot of my foods. Say like, Boost or ensure, I always see the word, milk concentrate, or milk protein. So I sometimes wonder if I actually have a sensitivity to the milk protein rather than just the milk. Does this make any since? I changed my cheese to a Cabot cheese and love it. I changed to almond breeze and love it. It's just strange that I can eat things or drink things with milk as long as it doesn't say milk protein. I have already been checked for allergies and I have NONE. Can anyone help me on this one. Does anyone have a problem with casein and not reallly the milk?!?!/

Thanks,
Nicki

I'm not sure what I have a problem with but after trying almond and rice milk, which didn't work for me, I have been using Lactaid milk for 4 years. Since my digestive issues, pain, bloating and constipation mostly, have continued to get worse I have tried many different ways of eating and nothing seems to work. I have heard that casein can be a problem for some people and not just the lactose.
You just have to eat and drink what your system will allow. Everyone is different. Best wishes.

Hi. Have you tried goat cheese? Many of my friends and customers who are lactose intolerant can eat goat cheese or goat milk ice cream with no problems at all - even their LI children can eat goat milk products. Just wondering...

YES. Found in bologna some hotdogs and other luncheon meats. It is another derivative from milk just like whey. Both concentrated forms of milk.
