This actually would've been harder had I not already had that experience. THAT was rough.<br /><br />I had never heard of the pasteurization issue either until a few years ago, when I'd gone to Dr. Mercola's clinic in Chicago (www.mercola.com). The opportunity to test it didn't come until a year or more later when I finally found access to raw milk.<br /><br />It doesn't work for every situation, but in most that I've seen try it, it has worked, and as a La Leche League Leader and lactation consultant, I've seen a ton of situations where the baby was allergic to cows milk in the mother's diet.<br /><br />I'm glad you were able to identify the allergy, because a lot of times, even that is hard to do -- or to get past the idea that we can't do without it. I know my husband's and my allergies to milk were there in childhood, but the symptoms changed over time, and our families just thought they went away (i.e. went from ear infections to upper resp. infections. Diaper rashes went away when potty trained)<br /><br />I've only seen a couple of doctors who even KNEW about this idea. I was told that I might want to consider it by a doctor, but this doesn't make the journals. I know many people that have been helped by it, but they generally read it or heard about it on the internet and gave it a try, or read about it in books.RPWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16686240798146992394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17691136.post-84545575932619813842010-12-12T21:25:05.423-08:002010-12-12T21:25:05.423-08:00Wow, I had never heard about the allergies being f...Wow, I had never heard about the allergies being from the pasteurization. Even the allergist didn't mention it. I'm intrigued. In any case, I guess I'm in no position to give you advice. :) Glad you're doing better.Ellennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17691136.post-4577418417517227442010-12-12T16:52:32.764-08:002010-12-12T16:52:32.764-08:00Thanks Ellen.
All of us are allergic to dairy ...Thanks Ellen. <br /><br />All of us are allergic to dairy (and soy) We did rice milk until we discovered that most dairy allergies aren't to milk and cheese, etc. they are to cooked milk protein -- pasteurization. I was so happy to find that raw milk, cheese, and butter work better. And with the lactase that is in raw milk (killed in pastured milk), we actually can tolerate some pasteurized milk products, too. <br /><br />I've adapted to so many different food issues, that this was one too many, at least for a while.<br /><br />Something you might find helpful that I learned a long time ago from Whole Foods Market Cookbook -- Oat milk behaves most like milk when you cook with it. I used it in gravies, cakes, and so many other things for a long time.<br /><br />Thanks for the encouragement.RPWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16686240798146992394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17691136.post-86558906974915820792010-12-12T15:28:37.830-08:002010-12-12T15:28:37.830-08:00When I discovered my daughter has a dairy allergy,...When I discovered my daughter has a dairy allergy, it became very difficult to cook meals. I mean, no cheese? No butter? You'd be amazed at the foods that have dairy in them! I have, over time, learned to make fairly tasty meals without the dairy (thank God for soy milk). It also makes going out to eat quite difficult. There are only a handful of places we can go. It's a bit inconvenient, but I think we definitely eat more healthily as a result. Silver lining. You'll continue to adapt too.
