Is this stuff safe for us that are gluten and casein free. My hubby was talking to someone the other day that is lactose intolerant and she says she gets the milk from the amish people cause it isnt pausterized. So i was wondering would this stuff be safe for us, or am I just dreaming lol

In some cases, people who can't tolerate pasteurized milk can tolerate raw milk. Gluten would not be an issue, but you'd have to decide if it's worth trying, in terms of the severity of your casein and/or lactose intolerace.

Thank you for your fast response. So in other words it is something that i should try on a day that i dont have to go anywhere just in case i would react. I am not really missing milk but was just curious if this could be an option for me or my step-son.

Does this milk taste funny due to not being pasteruized.

LOL yeah, and I wouldn't drink an entire glass of it or anything like that if you've been dairy-free for a while. It might be a good idea to start with small amounts of raw cheese.

If you're used to highly processed/pasteurized dairy, it might taste different to you, but I actually know a few people who really like it. I tried raw goat cheese a while back and I did react (but not severely and not right away). Some people have luck with it though.

Raw milk, cheeses and butter are the way to go if you are lactose intolerant. The pasterization process destroys the naturally occuring enzymes in milk that make it easy to digest. Many people who are lactose intolerant can tolerate raw dairy (such as myself). It is also much better for you. Paterization and homogenization destroy any benefits of milk and set our bodies up for allergic and autoimmune reactions. However if you have issues with casein, raw milk will still cause problems. Read up on benefits of raw dairy on line or on Dr.Mercola.com. Make sure the raw dairy you purchase is from grassfed animals not caged animals. The taste in my opinion is better. The butter is rich and cheese like. Yum.

I have read, and believe, that raw milk is much better tolerated, easier for the human body to digest. Pasteurization is important when it comes to mass distribution and sale of milk, it considerably reduces the risks of illness from consuming tainted milk. Unfortunately, pasteurization kills naturally occuring healthy bacteria in the milk as well. This bacteria is what makes milk go sour, but it is still edible (like sour cream.) Once milk has been pasteurized, it no longer will go sour, but goes bad instead.

If you can find a reputable farmer to get fresh, clean raw milk from, then I think it would be worth giving it a try.

Can you let us know if your son tries it and how it works out? I don't know much. I just know that it still has casein, and that there's been a trend for alternative doctors that were formerly pro-gluten & casein free, to start recommending this type of milk. My best friend tried it and she got ill, but she has a friend who seems to being doing OK drinking it. Let us know...

Please make sure the milk is very fresh. It is true that pasteurization kills good bacteria, but it also kills bad bacteria as well. Milk is a very desirable home for bacteria. They can flourish in it. Just make sure you know the source and the age of the milk.

      You might consider asking for a referral to a RD (Registered Dietician) to help with food choices and planning a diet. Even apart from any gluten issues, you will likely find there are some foods you need to avoid because of the shorter bowel but you may also find that your system may make adjustments over time and that symptoms may improve.

      I wish Dr’s would have these discussions with their patients. So frustrating but will continue to do research. Absolutely love this website. I will post any updates on my testing and results. Thank you

      Small Bowel Resection 12 inches

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to...

      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes...

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to educate yourself as to how gluten is hidden in the food supply. There's more to it than just avoiding the major sources of gluten like bread and pasta. It is hidden in so many things you would never expect to find it in like canned tomato soup and soy sauce just to name a few. It can be in pills and medications.  Also, your "yellow diarrhea, constipation and bloating" though these are classic signs of a gluten disorder, could also be related to the post surgical shorter length of your small bowel causing incomplete processing/digestion of food.

      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes inflammation and produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood by specific tests like the TTG-IGA test you had. Over time, if gluten is not withheld, this inflammation can cause severe damage to the lining of the small bowel and even result in nutrient deficiency related health issues since the small bowel lining is organ where all the nutrition found in our food is absorbed.  The other is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just "gluten sensitivity") which we know less about and are unsure of the exact mechanism of action. It is not an autoimmune disorder and unlike celiac disease it does not damage the lining of the small bowel, though, like celiac disease, it can cause GI distress and it can also do other kinds of damage to the body. It is thought to be more common than celiac disease. Currently, we cannot test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out to arrive at a diagnosis of NCGS. Both disorders require elimination of gluten from the diet.  Either of these disorders can find their onset at any stage of life. We know that celiac disease has a genetic component but the genes are inactive until awakened by some stress event. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% develop active celiac disease. The incidence of NCGS is thought to be considerably higher. I hope this helps.
