Osmosis from Elsevier Video on Lactose Intolerance
• Lactose intolerance - ...
I had the same exact issues that you're having. Switching to raw A2/A2 milk didn't make any difference to my stomach problems. I thought maybe taking steps to heal my gut first would help. I cut out grains for a time and all seed oils and started eating fermented foods like sauerkraut, pickles, and even some raw milk kefir is small dosages at first. I also became very diligent about making sure I got enough vitamin d, c, zinc, etc. It took some time but now I can drink raw milk and other dairy products without any problems at all. Worth a shot.
I have brainfog and stomach bloat every time i eat any dairy 🥛. Might give this a shot i miss cheese 🧀 soo much.
I've noticed that a2 milk might need a little time to build tolerance. Berberine seems to help too
Ok you describing your stomach problems with Thomas the train had us cracking up😂😂
Mission accomplished 😂
O man yes that was amazing🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
So agree😂
I can't explain how thankful I am for you guys to have done this video. I've been so ill for the last couple of years and couldn't figure out what was happening; my doctors and I are even considering that it may be an autoimmune disorder. But this could also be another pathway to an answer! My allergy tests all came back negative but if it's a non-IgE allergy than it would explain why I'm still feeling sick with negative testing. I'm so excited to go back with this info and start cutting potential sensitivities out to see if I can get some of those healthy feelings back. Thank you so, so much!
I hope you get some answers Chelsea! Not knowing it’s the worst!
I feel so sad for you! But I’m glad you found out and that you did this for the rest of us.
Thanks for biting the bullet for us on this one! Great video. Well made and on point with great humor included! You guys rock!
As someone who has a non IGE allergy to the A1 cows milk protein (that worsened after pregnancy), I cringed when you drank the WHOLE glass. Dear heavens you’re brave. My reaction is usually 4-12 hrs. after consuming. Unlike my friend who is lactose intolerant and her reaction is within the hour. Our symptoms are very different as well. I can handle goat, sheep and buffalo dairy products with no problem! No matter what you have, you will figure out what you can and can’t handle with time. Best of luck!
Oh I SOOO hope I can do goat or sheep milk! Test coming next week!
I can drink sheep and goats milk but I've never tried buffalo milk! I definitely want to now though 😅
Thank you!!! I have the same issue with milk and I've been so curious about the raw, A2/A2 thing. I can have hard cheeses no problem, and sometimes cooked milk, but it seems like anything fatty or uncooked (ice cream, brie, yogurt, straight milk, butter) wants to hurt me. I know I tolerate goats milk at least, so we're slowly building up to that, but I've been so curious about the cows! Seems like a huge investment for that sort of risk, and I haven't found anything unbiased online. So thank you for taking one for the team and convincing me to stick with the goats (and maybe add dairy sheep for the creamy things one day...)
My wife is lactose intolerant and the Lactaid products worked well for her. When she would have pizza or any cheese products it was almost an instantaneous reaction where she would have to run to the bathroom or emit some noxious Bombs. So we have goats now and admittedly the first 2 weeks of just consuming raw goats milk was an adjustment. About 4 months in and she is doing great on the goats milk. So I hope goat milk helps you. It is so good in my coffee and after switching to mainly an alfalfa diet and black sunflower seed the butterfly and creaminess has increased. Best of luck
Oh man, I miss milk sooo much. I am sooo hoping goats works for me!
Oh my gosh, the Thomas references are hysterical!!
Heres a grandma story about raw milk products: my grandmother was very active with the church ladies group, but didnt often have them to the house to entertain. Between lots of small children and not much money, having the ladies over was a challenge, but one fine summer she rose to the occasion and invited them to luncheon. There was fresh fried chicken, cole slaw (with a homemade cream based salad dressing), a real whipped cream fruit filled salad, cream scones with fresh butter and homemade jam, and dessert was strawberry shortcake with heaps of fresh whipped cream that was thick and rich from the newly freshened brown swiss cow. Grandma always said it was even a pale yellow from the butterfat. The ladies ate and ate and complimented and ate some more. (This was in the late 30s, and the ladies were all town women. Getting such fresh food was a real treat, apparently). When the last spoonfulls were being eaten, the ladies began to get odd looks on their faces and asked to be excused to "visit the hollyhocks". Only an outhouse on the farm. Grandma was always a little proud that the food was all so good, and a little sorry the ladies werent used to such rich food.
This is an excellent excellent video with so much personal information!!! I am also a dairy lover with an intolerance like you are describing and I periodically go into denial
Have you had your Gallbladder checked milk products used to kill me. Until I finally got so sick I went to the VA hospital. Turned out that is was my Gallbladder and dairy aggravated the issue. After I had it removed the issues went away. And I literally had the Thomas the train issues for probably 4 or 5 years. I Just never thought about the dairy because I never had issues as a kid with milk or cheese. Hopefully you will find the answer at some point.
I grew up drinking raw cow's milk and had no noticible issues. Fast forward 30 years, and I got tested for a vast number of allergies and intolerances. One of the items that came back as "allergen" for me was Casein. For me, consumption of my allergen causes widespread inflammation response that makes my stomach feel gross and all my joints ache. I have had goat's milk with no reactions though, so I believe my allergy is one of the more common (A1 Casein protein), though I have not tried A2 Cow's milk. I would highly recommend doing a test to see if the allergen could be isolated for you, because I understand what torture it is to do a trial-and-error approach.
Excellent information. Thanks Homesteady
Hey guys we are a small Homestead in Canada, we were looking at picking up our first dairy cow because I am diagnosed lactose intolerant but after watching this video we are second guessing our decision. By the sounds of it I am not lactose intolerant, but more like you Austin, with a protein allergy. Can't wait for your test on the other animals milk! We've tried goat, but everything here is pasteurized from stores.
Interesting video! I've got some sort of sensitivity to milk. I can drink raw A2A2, as long as it's not too much, i can also drink goat's with almost no problem. Lactose pills allow me to enjoy ice cream without horrible, painful bloating but I still get gas. My daughter on the other hand, has eczema that seems to be exasperated by cows milk. Although her eczema isn't completely gone, we really got it lessened by switching to goat's. I don't mind 'dairy free' foods but we both LOVE cheese and butter so...definitely getting goats one day. Not a perfect fix for us, but it allows us to enjoy dairy without too much body upset. Good luck with your experimenting and I hope you find a solution! I look forward to your next video trialing goat's milk.
This is a great video! I too suffered from gastrointestinal issues from conventional dairy consumption. I gradually abstained from consuming processed foods to include floor, pats, bread, rice etc. I’ve recently incorporated raw milk into my diet and surprisingly have not had any issues l. I feel wonderful. I’m quite surprised.
In all fairness you slammed your system with foods you had been avoiding for months. We always warn new raw milk drinkers to take it slow the first week 💩 And all that butter after avoiding 💩 I think the better test would be moderation slowly introducing… But also, have you ruled out gall bladder, colitis, diviticulitis, etc?
I thought the same. Best to ease into it first. Let the bacteria and enzymes build in the gut. Perhaps make sure there are no other issues like Leaky gut which could still leak out those proteins into areas that should be.
Always fun to watch your videos❤
Would love an update on the new homestead and house build! What style did you decide?
I am curious to learn if you will notice is a difference in goat milk! I've heard that it is more easily digestible. Looking forward to that video!!
Very educational and entertaining. Thank you!
Ha, the end. I was just composing a post in my head about that when you said you're going to cover it. I, personally, have no milk/dairy issues, but I do find it interesting. I've also read/heard, that people who can't stomach cow or goat, can handle sheep's milk, because of the different make-up of it. I've never really heard about anyone drinking or bottling sheeps milk, so I'm interested in that.
We tried both goat and sheep for my son and he still did the hives/tummy ache/bathroom issues thing. Sheep was less, but not none. Haven't tried camel, but we've found other workarounds through the years.
@@auroraasleep Interesting! Thanks for the comment. My niece has gluten issues, so I'm trying to make sure I'm able to handle whatever the grand nieces/nephews may have so I can keep getting visits. Doesn't hurt me none to cater to any allergies or intolerances for a family meal/visit. Plus, new recipes are always fun to try
Things get really interesting when our homeschool co-op gets together and we try to feed the kids. Mostly the kids turn into fruit bats, but no dairy, no wheat, no coconut, no eggs, no apples, no almonds, no peanuts... it makes baking interesting and birthday cupcakes end up being very unconventional.
@@auroraasleep oh my!
this was extremely informative and I know why I do not gain strength now its secondary IGE response(failure to thrive) on heavy a1 milk and milk products(in bread cookies and coffee and yogurt cheese) I used to consume very heavily thinking it will help gain strength... Now since last 2 weeks I left all a1 milk, cheese, coffee yogurt etc. I am feeling better I will monitor progress for next 2 months....now I drink black coffee, black tea and some meat lentils rice and non milk bread and non milk cookies The only dairy I am taking is some 1 teaspoon of ghee every other day for some saturated fat benefits
I am a new convert to Nigerian dwarf goat milk. I don't have many issues with certain cheeses. I love goat milk for cereal, coffee and even baking. I hope you feel better soon.
Didn't read the comments, just saying, it's not "raw" if it's baked 😬 Also, I'd give sheep's milk a shot. I can't believe you're going back to camels! That's both cool and ironic. Can't wait to see how you feel!
Promise, I get what you're saying about 'Raw' and baked, and Trill even talked about how Baking changes the proteins in milk (in the full length interview). If you make Cheese (even a cheese that is cooked) with Raw Milk, it is called a 'Raw Milk Cheese'. It's a nod to the ingredients I guess... And Sheep's milk is on the docket for sure!
Looking forward to it! I'm for sure interested in raising a milk sheep this coming year!
Very interesting 🧐! I learned a lot! Thank you!
All I wan to say is THANK YOU!
High fat is also a common factor. Maybe be checked for gallstones.
That is a great point! I developed my milk issues along side my gallbladder issues.
Oh no! Austin might have to reconsider dairy goats? Can’t wait to see that video. We got into homesteading because of our cow protein allergy. Had to get goats to get access to raw goats milk.
Yep. I got some explaining to do if I can have goats milk!
@@Homesteadyshow indeed!
Finally a certified doctor who actually specialised and works in this field (not a chiropractor) giving a balanced look at this topic. I was pulling my hair out trying to find someone who isn't just talking about how amazing raw milk is and that there aren't any problems with it.
Raw Milk is soo nice. I'm taking a break from it tho cos I have gastritis atm but gonna hop back on it once i've recovered.
I never had issues with milk growing up. We got a Jersey cow last year and started milking her in the fall. No issues with her milk. Until she got sick in the winter and went on antibiotics and anti gas medicine. We followed the withdrawal period for the meds but i would feel awful/have to run to the bathroom shortly after having her milk. I stopped drinking it for awhile and would test it with small amounts every week or two, thinking it was just the meds still in her system. But it was no use. She ended up bloating and dying on us in January. We got a new Jersey a few weeks ago and i was so excited to start drinking that sweet, creamy milk again. But it makes my stomach upset too!! I can eat the yogurt, no problem. But drinking a glass of milk leaves me with stomach cramps and usually having to run to the bathroom at least once. Taking activated charcoal helps! And I'm trying to drink smaller amounts and see if i can build up my tolerance. My symptoms are not as bad as yours with the cookies.. But i can feel your pain as an adult who suddenly finds milk not agreeing with me. What i wonder is, why all of a sudden? I'm wondering if our first cow being on meds made me react and caused my body to no longer tolerate milk, it's strange and infuriating. Especially since we just spent $5300 on a Jersey cow and Jersey x heifer that is going to calve in a month. I seem fine with store bought milk products, though I refuse to drink straight milk from the grocery store because it tastes gross. 🤢 Anyway, hopefully you find a solution and so do I!
I thought the experiment was supposed to be a glass of A2/A2 milk but then you were talking about gorging on shortbread butter cookies so I'm confused about what exactly went down here. What were the ingredients in the cookies besides the butter? Was the butter made with A2/A2 milk??
Thank you for the video! ❤❤May i ask what about goat and sheep milk?
As someone who has been dealing with dairy issues for 30 years your Thomas The Tank Engine clips had me laughing so hard. I have been getting raw milk for almost a year and it does sit better on my stomach. I have tried the lactose pills and it’s a 50/50 chance it will help. That being said I also have Gluten Intolerance as well, which started about 40 years ago, when a certain chemical (Round something) started to be come widely used on commercial wheat fields. But for me a gluten exposer is much worse, very similar to what you experienced after eating the cookies. It has put me in bed for two days from eating a pinch of raw AP flour. I can tell a difference just by the pain or lack of pain in an episode. I wish you much luck in figuring this all out and I hope you can feel better. Just consider gluten could be a contributing factor.
Thanks Dawn, glad to share a laugh over these plaguing problems! Over here we are the kind to joke about health stuff... It is all to depressing if you don't at least get a laugh out of it!
One thing I did to heal my ,gut was lots of tumeric tea and Floraster probiotics. My gut got so weak that c diff took over. My symptoms were just like yours. For one year I did tumeric tea and Floraster heavy. I was just tested and am clear of c diff. Completely. I drank milk with very little problems. But I have done Almond milk so long cow milk is nasty and bitter. Hope you figure out your issues.
It sounds like if butter effects you more than straight cows milk, that maybe you are allergic to milk fat. Unless it was the wheat flour of the shortbread cookies that bothered you. Personally, I’m not lactose intolerant, but get a bit sick from high fat/wheat flour products like biscuits and heavy breakfast foods. Also, if constipation is an issue, senna might be helpful. It helped our son, who suffered greatly. He takes two senna and a stool softener each morning, and double that at night, and it’s been a lifesaver. Best!
Hilary Boynton: The Heal Your Gut Cookbook. Was recently featured on Beyond Labels Podcast.
I just found your channel today and I really appreciated the deep dive you did into A2,A2 milk and the latest research out there. I'm little confused by your conclusion to your experiment. You drank raw a2,a2 genome milk Thursday morning and you surprisingly had just a few very mild symptoms for 3-1/2 days? Sunday you turned into Cookie Monster (cute clip!), ate 5 butter cookies also loaded with sugar in one sitting and had an overloaded gallbladder style blowout from too much fat I assume soon after that and you are blaming the milk you drank 3-1/2 days ago? I understand that IgG reactions are usually milder and can happens several days later so it's tough to make the connection. But too much fat in one sitting if your gallbladder is challenged seems more likely. Bile is made in the liver and stored in the gallbladder. The solution for both a challenged gallbladder and no gallbladder is to take bile salts with a fatty meal or dessert. Did I miss something that maybe wasn't in the video? I assume the butter is your own from a2,a2 genome cows as well. Have you had an IgG food sensitivity test? If many show up it's a sign of a leaky gut. Once the gut is healed, you can reintroduce many of the foods. I appreciate my organic dairy farmers! They do all the work for me and I get to purchase liquid gold! Thanks!
Renee, thanks for watching! A few people have suggested this, I guess I wasn't clear enough about former testing we did this year. I did a TED (total Elimination Diet) that gave us a very good understanding of what bothered me and what didn't. I had a very fat heavy diet some days (bacon, fat on pork cops, etc) that I had no problems with. We are coming to this experiment with the history of those other tests. For example, I have had horrible days because I had... breadcrumbs that had cow milk... a vitamin that had cows milk... and at the same time I can eat a bunch of cookies WITHOUT cow milk and be fine, it is well established the cow milk and not fat or gluten or sugar, is what is bothering me.
Pro tip. Im lactose intolerant. Make waffles with milk and make sure they are fully cooked or eat yogurt. No problems there.
I'd check out other animal milks. If you find one (even camel) that works it may help you narrow down the culprit in the future. Most proteins have some enzyme that cleaves them, so with enough study we can narrow down the problem, and administer an appropriate enzyme to break it down. the science just hasn't caught up yet.
👏👏👏 thank you for enduring that misery just to enlighten us LOL You have my sympathy
It wasn’t for you… it was for the cookies… 😂
Errhem….so goats might become your new favourite animal 😂😂 Feel better soon and thanks for the vids as always 😊
Its not the “raw” part that helped me but I buy A2A2 milk now and I have NO lactose intolerance with it. For over 20 years, I’ve had to try my best to stay away from dairy but it’s nearly impossible to avoid all of it. What a pleasure to be able to digest real cows milk again!
Hubby is protein. We have raw pineapple at home at all times specificly the core to eat. It is super helpful for quicker recovery
Good to know. Thx!
Aside from intolerance/allergy, dairy is one of the most inflammatory foods in general, so dropping it can be helpful. One last thing you could try if youre up for it is to make ghee from the butter and see how that treats you. I know for myself while i can drink milk and consume dairy, when I dont for a long time and say have a glass of milk, I get a bit phlemmy, where things like cheese, butter etc are much better tolerated, with ghee the most tolerated of all. That said, I do like my carinvore keto diet best.
Preventing inflammation is the only good answer.
Yes, I love my carnivore diet too!
The Thomas the train references were beyond hilarious 😂
It depends on what the dairy sensitivity is. For some kinds, a2a2 can help. For others, they can use goat milk. Some can drink milk that is raw, milk from cows that are fed a particular diet. And so on.
I was lactose intolerant on store milk, now we drink purely raw milk and I don't have any of those nasty symptoms. Just putting my anecdote out there.
Very interesting 🤔 can you do a video on how to remove dairy from your diet? Like substitutes also there wasn’t anything about casin or is that one of the proteins?
Casin I believe is one of the proteins, good question for Dr Trill!
My daughter just recently started raising milking sheep. Sheep are much easier to take care of and milk, and the milk is so good tasting. She had found out that it has natural probiotics, is easier to digest and freezes well.
Cutting dairy ended life-long gut pain for me, so I'm disinclined to try the A2A2 milk... so... good luck!
The Non-IGE mediated food allergy info was really helpful. My son tested negative for the mast cell "allergy" to milk, and isn't lactose intolerant, but definitely cannot consume dairy without horrible consequences. I never had dramatic issues, but stopping dairy alleviated some serious long-term gut problems (gas, pain, unexplained weight gain, reflux, vomiting)... ya know, totally normal stuff. Sometimes I miss cheese enough to make that mistake again.
So happy to hear that you found the culprit for all of that discomfort. It's very bittersweet for sure though. It's found that non IgE mediated reactions have a hereditary link as well. ❤️
For those who cannot drink Cows milk, there are other animals that you can get milk from. Also, with the comments about "Different proteins," it makes me think that maybe a different cattle breed might work out. Maybe there are some differences in CAttle Breeds and certain breeds are an issue? It would be interesting to test and see if you could find a breed that works for you.
I used to milk my mare. We'd go on overnight trail rides when she had a foal and leaving the baby at home would make her bag up nicely. She was happy for the relief and stood there like a good milk cow. lol Mare's milk is very sweet and high in fat and would go good with their yurt. ;-)
I obtain all my milk from cats
@@sarahrose5772 say what? You funny!
I have trouble with milk but was diagnosed with Gastroparesis it took 8 years to get correct diagnosis.
The first time I went to chick fil a I didn't know they put butter on the bun. I took one bite and it hit my stomach and I said "this has dairy". I was so so so sick the rest of the night. Butter is so the worst for me.... The same thing happened to me when I tried a dairy free ice cream once. One bite. I looked at the label and found out that this particular flavor was certified kosher but had been exposed to like dairy equipment or something. I called the company and they assured me that their "strict allergen testing" didn't detect any dairy. I guess my gut can detect less than 10ppm of dairy proteins.... I only trust the rabbis- if it says kosher pareve, it's dairy free. If it says kosher D or DE no matter what the rest of the package says- the rabbi found dairy somewhere and I won't touch it. Thank you for this video!
I have some reactions to milk, but don't know exactly what cause. I used to drink a lot of milk, eat a lot of cheese, etc. Then, in my 30s, I started to have gastric reflux. I noticed that some nights I didn't have it. Weirdly, the one correlation I made was that I was fine on nights I had wine with my supper. It seemed very unlikely that wine would cure heartburn, so it occurred to me that those were the nights I *didn't* have milk. I either had wine, or one or two big glasses of milk. So I tested that, and found that with neither, I didn't have the reflux. For a while, a regular lactase seemed to help. Then I needed the extra-strength lactase, then two, then even that wasn't enough to help with significant amounts of dairy. I used to put a *lot* of Parmesan cheese on pasta, and had to stop. For a while, I just didn't want pasta anymore, but then I discovered (sheep-based) Pecorino Romano, which filled in the same use case, and didn't cause the reflux. Similarly with pizza, replacing the mozzarella with Manchego seemed to help. But now I wonder if it isn't so much the cow vs. sheep/goat, but rather all the processing. Maybe I'd be OK with raw milk, but that's hard to come by. The other night, I had pizza made with only sheep-based cheese, *and* I took a couple of extra-strength lactase pills, but I still ended up with reflux, so there's got to be more to it. Like maybe the sheep cheese we're getting now is more processed. Or maybe it's fraudulently labeled, and is really cow dairy.
Austin gmo's has made a big difference in our diet and have caused many problems in the food chain
Super surprised I can drink milk when I found out about raw milk I tried it and no problems! So happy cuz it’s tasty you know 😊
My son is lactose intolerance we gave him A2/A2, from the store and he hadn't had an issue since. Now I all my cows are A2/A2. But we are still waiting for our 1st calf.
i have a stomach issue drs cant figure out too. not sure if milk/lactose related at all or not as it can flare up after eating anything or nothing. eating a salad can have the same horrific aftermath as eating a bowl of spicy chili or indian food. been tested for about everything and have tried eliminating all sorts of things with no luck. it is getting better as i get older at least. my mom had a very similar issue that eventually pretty much went away with age too so im hoping someday it will be gone. for a good while i was in the bathroom 4-7 times a day, every day, often with horrible things happening in there that were far from normal. i also had diverticulosis though, which wasnt helping and ended up popping my colon which lead to having about a foot and a half removed. not sure if that plays a role in the other issue though. im closer to normal now with most days in there only 2 or 3 times total, some days a more normal once even. ive just learned to deal with it. hopefully some day these things can be better diagnosed and treated. because this shit sucks. pun intended.
Every time we change things not naturally we run risks.
it seems to me that your whole family is likely neurodivergent (ADHD, with one kid possibly being autistic, like me, I am guessing the one who had the most allergies). milk issues wouldn't surprise me, they are very common with neurodivergence. I myself have A1 intolerance. a farm is a perfect setting for hyperactive neurodivergent minds and hands. a variety of hands-on jobs that can get finished before the mind wanders away, rather than spending 8 hours in an office on a bullshit job. being autistic and ADHD, I guess the energy you have is why I like your channel so much. very many people who are drawn to this lifestyle are neurodivergent.
Hi when you say grass fed, do you mean that you don't feed any form of grain or concentrate ?
My husband has the same issues as you Aust, he has been dairy and gluten free for 12 year, he has done the GAPS protocol to heal leaky gut and he can now tolerate gluten and small amounts of dairy too. Might be worth a go?
I’ll check it out!
@@Homesteadyshow yes!! Do gaps. It is known to heal food allergies, some people can do dairy again in as little as 2 months. You need to heal your gut. Would be good to put the kid who was allergic to everything on it too. It would make great content for your channel too.
Could it have been sugar in the short bread cookies?? Or was there any? I know for a fact, foods high in sugar wreck me!
Galactose is a very cool word. But the "milky way" "galaxy" is so named because the ancients thought it looked like a smear of milk spilled across the night sky, so it's not an accident that a lot of words related to milk do sound like they're related to the galaxy.
Homemade Kefir has really helped with my lactose intolerance!
Cool!
I wonder what Dr. Trill would have to say about people that HAVE to consume milk to stay feeling good and healthy. I actually feel cruddy, achy and low energy if I haven't consumed full fat milk for three or four days. A glass or two and I'm back to feeling better in about 12 hrs. A couple people poopooed me about it so I tested myself out on it several times (even tried supplementing Vit D and calcium instead, in case that was it) but it proved out I'm correct. I NEED dairy to feel healthy. Minimum for me is having a couple shots of half and half in my coffee in the morning but even then, I start having milk cravings. I've always wondered if it's a thing or if it's just me thing.
Im similar, but it needs to be raw for me. Happy to drink pints of it every day.
A grocery store near me in Mississippi Southern Mississippi used to carry closest to a fresh milk, and all of a sudden they can’t get it anymore because of the government. I wish there was a way that our grocery stores could approach some fresh dairy that sell milk so that we can buy it Because I have gluten allergies and I also have lactose allergies and I would love to have fresh milk to make cheese and to drink
If I recall correctly the law does allow for you to buy fresh milk directly from a farmer. I would recommend finding a dairy farmer near you and see if you can purchase directly from them.
the large amount of cookies with sugar and gluten may have added to your stomach symptoms. maybe you would be fine with 1 glass of milk per day.
i seem to have dairy problems with dairy combined with sugar. i love custard and when i have it, i have a much smaller portion than my family. i also don't do dairy after 3-4pm...and i guzzle water for a while. I know, I know- it seems i should avoid it but i get a "hankering" sometimes hahahaha!! i've never had goat ice cream but i was buying raw goat milk for a while and have zero gas and bloating. I'm debating getting milk goats, yikes! lol
What if you try ghee where the milk solids and proteins are cooked and strained out?
I've been wondering if jersey milk tastes different than the guernsey? I'm milk cow shopping now. Lol🤣
Yes! Jersey milk is very rich, creamy. It’s the ‘butter’ milk! Great for making butter, and for cream. Guernsey is less rich, more similar in texture to what a person who purchased milk at the store (like an organic whole milk) is used too. It’s got a slight sweetness to it. We prefer Guernsey milk in our coffee, cereal, or drinking strait, but jersey is nice for butter and cream uses! Having both has been a real blessing!
On a 2nd comment - I missed the video where you explained why you got rid of your camel. Wasn't one of your kids only able to drink camel's milk?
Yeah one person in the household not being able to digest raw milk doesn't make keeping milk cows a bad choice. You've still got six kids to drink the stuff, and all the other uses you get from it! In my household, my oldest two both can't drink large quantities of milk, and I need it to control my gut problems. But they both find if they drink a small amount of milk routinely, that maintains the level of tolerance they have, whereas if they stop entirely, that makes any milk at all become a problem when they start again.
Don't know if this is still relevant for you, but I was listening to old school homesteaders who were explaining how pumping milk using those automatic milk machines will cause a bio film of bacteria that you actually cannot clean out with soapy water alone - which is why corporate companies have to pasteurize their milk, otherwise the public could become very sick. Hand milking is the way to go for safe milk consumption & homesteaders should refrain from selling or drinking milk after using automatic pumps as they aren't safe due to bacteria film that cannot be properly cleaned out through the tubes. Just a thought to consider!
I'm the same as you Aus..not lactose intolerant but have worse symptoms with cream and butter...I've found I'm ok with ghee though. I grew up on a dairy farm and back in the 60s it was pretty normal to breast feed for 6 wks then put the baby on a bottle...well...that did not go well...I couldn't tolerate cow, goat or formula milk and going back to breast wasn't an option ...so I pretty much was bought up on meat, vege and fruit juices... Drs said I would grow out of it and yes I would drink milk growing up (dairy farm) but, every time I had porridge with cream, I got sick..onto my 50s, I'm worse now than I was then and now I know it's not lactose and of course, the drs are no help.. Good luck with the goat milk...lol .
I Gotta try Ghee again, I did once, seemed ok…
@@Homesteadyshow I'm sure ghee made with A2 butter would be even better! I seem less symptomatic with A2 than with regular milk. My psoriasis is worse when I've had milk and I get gassy, less so with the A2 but not completely zero..
I used to raise ducks and had a man want duck eggs, he got an 18 carton from me. He ate 6 in the morning, 6 at lunch and 6 for dinner. He found himself in the bathroom after this egg extravaganza. Duck eggs are rich and when i would use them I'd mix with chicken eggs. Does your milk issue change what your family can have?
Would be awesome to hear about goats milk! From what I've read, it is more easily digestable for humans. 🎉😀
You should try milking your Highland cows, Guernsey and jersey and Holsteins have been over breed for big milk production. Highland cows is a dual purpose cow and was used in the old days for milk in Scotland, they are more natural do to not being over breed. Its not a science just a hunch and you could try it at least since you own Highland cow. And it would make good content lol.
So I just watched your cow kicking video and I assume it’s the same cow. Did she stop kicking? How long did it take?
With me if I drink whole store bought milk it messes up my stomach bad. When I got some straight from a cow no cream removed whole milk I didn't have a problem. I remember when I got a glass of it saying to my husband well let's see what happens, Nothing. A KZhead er today was saying theres a lack of whole milk at the store and was saying they add something to make it more creamy. Makes sense because they take most the cream and butter fat out the whole milk.
Might also be cold versus warm. Probably not in your case, but I have a lot more problems drinking cold. Have even started drinking lukewarm water. I hope you find a solution, you looked REALLY bad.
I have a bad problem with store milk but can drink raw milk fine.
I can tolerate a limited amount of a2a2 milk. Regular store bought milk and commercial cheese gives me constipation. The milk that I can drink with impunity is raw goat milk. Oddly enough, pasteurized goat milk gives me some trouble.

From my experience on the food allefgy journey, the ability to drink a2a2 milk largely comes from what part of the milk you are allergic to or have an intolerance for. I am caesin intolerant and that is why i have issues with a1 milk and commercial dairy, but no problem with a2 milk. However, someone i know is allergic to whey and it doesnt matter for them whether the cow is a1 or a2. She cant drink it eithe way. Ive also been able to consume protein shakes that are whey protein isolate protein shakes because it doesnt have the caesin. As for the raw vs pasteurized a2a2... the reason i drink raw miln is because thats how i could find a2a2 milk and since it works for me, im choose not to pasteurize it myself and take advantage of all of the bacteria in raw milk that i wouldnt be able to get otherwise. I didnt know there were so many protein molecules in cows milk. That's fascinating.
I already suspected I was allergic to milk protein, because, my niece was diagnosed as a baby as being allergic and lactaid milk never helped. I have discovered that it is accumulative. I can handle a little bit of cheese and yogurt it will make me gassy, but to much in a day or milk and ice cream can kill me.
I would like to see you try butter without the sugar and flour. I think the combination of those ingredients together could be the culprit.
I have the same issue as this man in the video and let me tell you- butter is the absolute worst. I knew when something had a smear of butter on it after one bite. It was a chick fil a sandwich (first time eating it and I didn't know they put butter on the bun) and that one bite I swallowed was all I ate. It wouldn't have been possible to eat more. I can't imagine what would happen if I had the amount of butter that's in one cookie let alone 5 😱 I laid down the rest of the night breathing slowly so I didn't spontaneously vomit....
This is ironic and good timing as i chugged a glass of A2/A2 milk this morning (i havent drank cows milk in i dont know how long) and have felt awful all day. More than 12 hours later i still have a headache.
Oh no! Super you are feeling soo crappy! Hope you find some answers!
@@Homesteadyshow my answer is to not be stupid and drink milk 😅 I hope you, as a milk lover, find an answer you're happy with!
I cannot tolerate raw A2A2 either. I have not tried goat milk but I thought the casein in goat milk is the same as the A2A2 in cow milk.
After the 5 cookies you should have Rambo'ed it & ate 5 more.
What do you mean non ige- meaning butter doesn’t have lactose?
Huh, i thought lactose was added to pasturized milk, and raw milk had none 😅
Cookies are also loads of gluten, it could be celiac
Are you sure it wasn't the flour?
I was hoping that this video will explain more about the negative effects of consuming A2A2 Raw milk, as opposed to using traditional A1 raw milk. If some people with Lactose intolerance claim that using A2A2 raw milk help their digestive problems. then what about those people who do not have any gastrointestinal problem by using the traditional raw a1 milk, if those people start to consume A2A2 milk , how will this genetically modified A2A2 milk effect those otherwise health people ?? And I would appreciate if some one can unmask the real A2A2 milk controversy.
That's exactly what I was thinking oh well I'm like oh here come the camels😂😂
#askhomsteady would you please try cookies w ghee instead of butter? Almost all of the protein is removed so allergies are less likely. Thanks so much for this video! Very helpful!
I’m always happy to try cookies 😁
