I've never hea...Kim, that is very interesting! I've never heard of raw milk, but it makes sense since it has lactase in it. Like you said, it might be difficult to get. I was eating yogurt previously, which has little lactose in it since the bacteria breaks it down, and I was able to tolerate that fine. Thanks for reading, and thanks for the tip!Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07657137950056945707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4416896781455722724.post-60082825424344797032012-01-23T02:55:15.144-08:002012-01-23T02:55:15.144-08:00I know you're going dairy-free and I read your...I know you're going dairy-free and I read your blog about why. I think what you're doing is awesome - it amazes me how much the food I eat affects how I feel (actually, reading that blog gave me some insight into potentially why my IBS has been so much better here in Africa). I haven't done any research about health benefits for dairy vs. no dairy, but I have had some experience with lactose-intolerance, so I'm going to throw this out there just in case you want to look into it. Have you considered raw milk? You should be able to digest it because it has the lactase enzyme built in. I have also heard anecdotal stories about people that are severely lactose-intolerant switching to raw milk and over a few months they were able to eat other previously pain-inducing dairy products. The only caveat is that the laws about it are strange so it's hard to get, and you want to make sure that you know where it's coming from to make sure it is clean and won't make you sick. Anyway, your blog is great and your mac and cheese looks yummy - I just might have to try it when I get home!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06338203775200636229noreply@blogger.com
