Can someone who needs to be casein free *usually* tolerate goat's milk? I read on here "yes" but in Unraveling The Mystery of Autism "no". I realize there are no absolutes.

From what I understand goat's milk contains casein also.  So if you are avoiding casein you may want to avoid goat's milk altogether.  If you go casein free for awhile and then want to try goat's milk, you'd notice a reaction, if any.  We have been casein free for a year and a half now and I am still too chicken to try it with the boys bc I'm afraid of a reaction!! haha

My sister is on a Gluten free Casein Free diet, and she can tolerate Unpasteurized milk.
She can also have RAW dairy products.

I have been toying with the idea of the GFCF diet but I am a big chicken to try it. You are all so brave.  My  7 yo son has very loose stools and his belly pouches out.  Does he sound like a candidate?
Sounds like a candidate to me...Doesn't rule out other things, of course, but those are some pretty familiar symptoms to me.

I thought that the casein in goat's milk was different than the casein in cow's milk...better do some research.  Wink  I know I've read that goat's milk is better suited to us...even their babies are more similar to ours in size than calves are.   Cheesy  Still...Huh

OK, here's what I was talking about:

http://askdrsears.com/html/3/t032400.asp

Goat's milk is believed to be more easily digestible and less allergenic than cow's milk. Does it deserve this reputation? Let's disassemble goat's milk, nutrient-by-nutrient, to see how it compares with cow's milk.

Different fat. Goat's milk contains around ten grams of fat per eight ounces compared to 8 to 9 grams in whole cow's milk, and it's much easier to find lowfat and non-fat varieties of cow's milk than it is to purchase lowfat goat's milk. Unlike cow's milk, goat's milk does not contain agglutinin. As a result, the fat globules in goat's milk do not cluster together, making them easier to digest. Like cow's milk, goat's milk is low in essential fatty acids, because goats also have EFA-destroying bacteria in their ruminant stomachs. Yet, goat milk is reported to contain more of the essential fatty acids linoleic and arachnodonic acids, in addition to a higher proportion of short-chain and medium-chain fatty acids. These are easier for intestinal enzymes to digest.

Different protein. Goat milk protein forms a softer curd (the term given to the protein clumps that are formed by the action of your stomach acid on the protein), which makes the protein more easily and rapidly digestible. Theoretically, this more rapid transit through the stomach could be an advantage to infants and children who regurgitate cow's milk easily. Goat's milk may also have advantages when it comes to allergies. Goat's milk contains only trace amounts of an allergenic casein protein, alpha-S1, found in cow's milk. Goat's milk casein is more similar to human milk, yet cow's milk and goat's milk contain similar levels of the other allergenic protein, beta lactoglobulin. Scientific studies have not found a decreased incidence of allergy with goat's milk, but here is another situation where mothers' observations and scientific studies are at odds with one another. Some mothers are certain that their child tolerates goat's milk better than cow's milk, and mothers are more sensitive to children's reactions than scientific studies.

Less lactose. Goat's milk contains slightly lower levels of lactose (4.1 percent versus 4.7 percent in cow's milk), which may be a small advantage in lactose-intolerant persons.

I've been off of dairy for a few months now.  I never had any immediate reaction from eating it before.

I accidentally ate a gluten free cookie that I thought was dairy free too.  After I ate it, I started to get an itchy, allergic feeling in my mouth.  The same thing happens when I eat nuts I'm allergic to. Lips Sealed  Turns out the cookie had butter in it.  Every other ingredient was non-allergenic.

I tasted a little bit of yogurt after that, and had no reaction of any kind.  Do ya'll think that means that cultured dairy is okay for me?  I've been allergic from birth, and had to be switched to soy formula. Tongue  I'm also trying to heal my leaky gut, so I don't want to eat yogurt and kefir if there's a chance I'm still sensitive.

Some people can handle only the raw/cultured milk...I suspect that's true for us, although we do eat butter...and the occasional ice cream...Huh

It's definitely possible.  My son does much better with raw milk and yogurt, than he does with store milk.  Also, if you've been off milk for a long time, kefir is a good way to try to add it back in.  Just very small amounts at a time.  Believe it or not,  kefir is very healing to a leaky gut, if you can tolerate it.  Kefir helps your intestines to rebuild protective mucous that helps to stop the leaky gut from happening.  Another thing to try would be clarified butter, or ghee.  It has the milk fat without the cassein, so you may be able to handle that.

Thanks guys!  I talked to my mom tonight, and she said she thought the reason she switched formulas was because I wasn't tolerating the high iron content, and not because I was born allergic to milk.  So that gives me hope! Smiley

Ok Ladies Smiley I've been reading these threads for over a day now and need some opinions Smiley

I started all of this GF/CF b/c I suspected food allergies in my b*fed ds.

When he was very young I had a night where my milk wouldn't come in and he was *not* happy! So, I mixed up four ounce of formula to substitute. He promptly broke out in hives around his mouth and then projectile vomited a little while later. This obviously proved to me at least that he had a milk allergy. So, I went off dairy. I saw no improvement after a month got discouraged and started cheating here and there, not a lot, but probably enough. I had chatted with our ped about a possible yeast infection but nothing ever came of our conversation. In the mean time I found a homeopathic doc for my ds to see to try and treat his bad eczema. (As an infant he also had reflux (sign of allergy?!) that was treated by our chiro)

Then in January we found out ds was not gainning weight. Herbalmom I believe directed me towards the book Unraveling the Mystery of Autism  Shocked So, here I am again on my GF/CF quest.

I've been "hard core" CF for over a month and I've worked myself up to extremely little gluten. This week was my goal to be completely GF/CF and start a yeast/candida diet next week.  I'm still not noticing a huge difference in my ds except that he gained weight Huh Am I just discouraged and should keep at it awhile or should I move onto another possible allergy? (Corn etc...) I personally feel better on this diet but nothing major. In the future I will still try to greatly limit my  gluten intake. I am convinced of what I've read Smiley

Other variables:
DS has been pretty sick for over a week and he's been cutting a couple teeth recently. However, he IS gaining weight now! Or is that just due to other diet changes I made for him Huh

Right before I went CF the first time I ordered our first round of raw milk products. This was the biggest quick change I saw in his skin. I know on another thread Likemanywaters talks about this in reference to her son needing enzymes, minerals, etc...Is that where I should be headed Huh Smiley

He's too young for very accurate allergy testing. Has seeing all of his "specialists" chiro, homeopathic doc, and Cranial sacral therapist changed/improved his millk allergy Huh

Thanks Ladies Smiley

I would stick with the GF/CF diet.  I believe that I read somewhere that it can take 2 months or more for gluten to leave your system.

We are just beginning this GF/CF thing for our son (9) who was born wheezing (we finally have that under control) and has been COVERED in hives for about 2 years.  We had him allergy tested (blood) when he was about 1 1/2...3 pages of allergies.  So, along with gluten and casein, we are no corn, soy, egg, legumes and nuts.  (Makes finding things to eat kinda difficult...but worth it).

I have discussed my plans with my midwife and this is what we have come up with...I'm going to start him on a Tbsp on safflower oil with a b6 tablet crushed in it first thing in the morning.  I'm going to have him take 1 Tbsp of safflower oil 2 more times a day (3 Tbsp total per day).  I'm going to begin a yeast cleanse once my Beeyoutiful order gets here.  And once I feel we have that under control, I'm going to add CLO, EPO and aloe to heal his gut.  I will also be using enzymes with him, having him take them about 20 minutes before he eats.  (I'll be doing this all along).  I'm going to keep him on probiotics indefinitely and having him drink lemon water to keep his liver flushed.

HTH!

Sorry, I wasn't very clear. I've ordered from Beeyoutiful before. My question was about which of the supplements I can actually give an infant vs me. I was just planning on the pregnancy yeast package. I already give ds TTU.

Sorry.  I just looked at the pregnancy anit-yeast package and I (personally) wouldn't see a problem with giving a baby any of them.  Although the Digestive Enzymes are tablets, so they are probably out.  And the Acidophilus Blast contains a warning that there may be traces of casein.  The garlic are capsules, so you could poke a hole in one and put a few drops in baby's mouth.

I'm going to discuss the Acidophilus Blast with DH.  We may take the risk just to get a good dose of Acidophilus into him.

I guess I'm going to risk posting this in the wrong thread but I'm considering this treatment of allergies  Undecided

I talked w/ our homeopath about the Beeyoutiful products in the Anti Yeast Preg. Pack and her stance was that ds would probably benefit from the digestive enzymes. I was thinking maybe I could crush them and mix them into some food for ds.

I realize that even the TTU he's taking now has lactose in it. However, it helps his eczema and bowels. And most of the homeopathic meds I give him contain small amounts of lactose in them and they don't seem to bother him either. I know, it's confusing!

However, our doc did recommend we not use the Colostrum product with him yet. Due to the milk allergy. Again this is just an opinion, not an absolute.

I'm on an information trail this week and the more I read the more I think ultimately ds will be able to have raw milk products. I think with ds there's a connection between raw milk products and the enzymes they provide him w/ that his body in particular is lacking.

I agree with the doctor about the colostrum.  I stopped taking mine cuz it upset my tummy.  (Even though it always took care of swollen glands after one dose).

I guess you could crush the enzymes...might work.

We take the TTU anyway too.  Helps with tummy bugs and of all things motion sickness! Smiley

I have suffered with low back pain for years.  Sometimes it's extremely difficult for me to get out of bed in the morning, but once I'm up and moving it gets better. (arthritis?)

Anyway, I just commented to dh that since going on the gf/cf diet, I no longer have the back pain.  Well, in dealing with sick baby yesterday (see prayer thread) I ate a doughnut for breakfast, chicken NOODLE soup for lunch and Subway for supper.  Guess what, my back hurts this morning!

We started this diet for ds and I'm finding out I have a lot of problems!  Go figure! Roll Eyes

I've been really good at my GF/CF diet for the last month or so. I've noticed that since then my ds eczema was staying clear for the longest time yet. Then came this past Sunday...We went to a church function where normally there's enough variety in food I can find something to eat. Well, at the last minute the decided to only serve pizza. A big no-no for us Sad Well, I'm b*feeding and was so, very hungry that I decided I would eat a half a piece to hold me over until I got home. Now my ds face started breaking out yesterday and today and he's been so itchy Sad I'm bummed. Especially because I don't know if it was the gluten, dairy, or both! I guess I'll have to wait until his skin clears and start over...

ndmomof5 - I too have been surprised at how I feel better GF/CF. I just finished talking to my hubby about how even later I don't plan to consume near the gluten and casein I used to!

I'm so discouraged!  DS has been GF/CF for a few months now, and his eczema is limited to the back of his neck, a little on his lower cheeks, and a little on his scalp.  So yesterday I let him have a smoothie with yogurt in it to see what would happen, and his neck is red and rash-y looking today.  DH pointed out that he also ate some GF/CF bread that my MIL made for him, but I don't think he's allergic to anything in that. Huh Huh

Can someone who needs to be casein free *usually* tolerate goat's milk? I read on here "yes" but in Unraveling The Mystery of Autism "no". I realize there are no absolutes.

Ok, after much deliberation Smiley I decided to try giving my ds one ounce of raw goats milk after having been GF/CF for over three months, closer to four. It did not work well Sad He broke out in hives around his mouth, neck, and ears. So, at least I know. I'm bummed  Cry because I really thought he'd be able to handle it. Back to improving the condition of his gut I go!!

Ok, after reading this thread and being in pain for a year and a half I finally figured out this is my problem.  DUH!!!  I went to the dentist last week only to find out I have 6 cavities!!!  I have never had a cavity in my life and now at 31 I have 6.  After reading about celiac and having major trouble with my poor tummy I can see how everything has come together.  Do you all know how long it takes for your body to start absorbing things like calcium and minerals once you begin a gluten free diet?  I've been lactose intolerant for about 12-14 yrs and it's hard to make sure I'm getting enough calcium by myself let alone when I'm nursing right now.  I take dolomite powder daily but I'm not sure if it's even doing any good.

Just a quick question, do you think that a child of 2 who has a pre-disposed likelyhood to get Celiac Disease (down syndrome) could have only one of the possible symptoms of gluten intolerance and be or not be?  He has tongue lesions which do not fit the description of any other potential cause so we are trying to eliminate gluten as a first step to try to figure out his deal.  He has no intestianal anything, growing well, pooping well, etc.  Just wondering what everyone things about this.  Huh

Possibly.  Tongue lesions...isn't that something that could be affiliated w/ Crohn's Disease (which could be related to Celiac's)?   Huh 

I don't have intestinal issues w/ gluten, just skin-related symptoms.  We DO have a family member w/ DS, though, and I'm not recalling that she has ever dealt w/ tongue lesions--I can ask.   Smiley
