A2 milk

[qannie47]

In the quest to remove casein from my children's diet, I have come across A2 Milk. These New Zealand dairy farmers are claiming that A1 casein protein is the culprit for allergies and the A2 casein protein is fine.

 

Any thoughts?

I have heard that this is the case, but I haven't read any studies that I can refer you to.

 

I'll also offer that we've begun using almond milk, and the whole house loves it. Ton of calcium, but none of the lactose or casein. DS was raised on rice milk because we thought he might be lactose intolerant due to persistent reflux, but he lost his taste for that somewhere along the line. With the almond milk, however, his acceptance of cereal for breakfast, etc. is back.

I have switched my son to Almond milk and his face no longer breaks out in this rash. I did this several weeks before I ever started the gluten free diet. When he goes to the hospital for his IVIG treatment the rash comes back because he drinks the cows milk. So it must be the casen maybe? He is not lactose intolerant. Thanks for posting this information.
