I found this goat cheese at (Fred Meyer) Kroger and it's totally confusing me because the back of the label says "Allergy Warning: Contains Milk"

Is that cow's milk or goat milk? I thought goat milk was safe. I'm totally confused.

thx

There are some people who are intolerant to cow's milk, sugar and or protein, that can tolerate goat milk but they are both still milk. Because milk is an allergin they need the label. The only way to tell if you'll tolerate goat milk products is to try them. But if you have severe reactions to lactose or casien you should wait to challenge goat products until you are asymptomatic.

To me, milk is milk. Doesn't matter what animal it comes from. It still makes me sick.

All mammalian milk contains casein - that's what makes true milk, well, milk. But there's more than one subtype of casein and different animals have different amounts of each subtype. So, if you are not hugely bothered by a particular subtype, you may find that a different mammal's milk, which has less of that subtype, bothers you even less. There's not oodles of research on what the exact subtype composition is of every type of available milk, but you can 'experiment' on your own...

I've read that goat's milk can vary in amount of cowlike casein (can't remember the right name -- you all know what I mean) it contains, from none to a significant amount. I discovered this after finding that the goat's cheese I ate in Europe (or from Europe after I came home) didn't bother me, but US goat's cheese did. I don't know if this is accidental or a function of the strains of goats. Anyway, now I am hesitant to have any of the stuff. I might be OK and I might not. It isn't worth it.

My only problem is that I have this tamale pie recipe that needs something to hold it together. The original recipe called for tofu sour cream or soy yogurt, which I can't have due to the soy. I've tried making it without anything, but the texture is wrong. The goat cheese was just right in holding it together and giving it the right tang. Sigh ... any suggestions?

Very true--in fact, babies are never allergic to human milk iself, though they DO react to what the mother has eaten. If the mother has eaten gluten, and the baby is sensitive to gluten, the baby will react. (This is why you're not supposed to take various meds while nursing, as they get into the milk. But for some reason, it doesn't stop the dairy farmers from injecting the cows with hormones and antibiotics, and feeding them pesticide-laden feed. Ugh!)

About my recipe sub need ...

Vegan rice cheese?

The only one I know of is Galaxy and it comes in slices, not particularly gooey or moist to help stick other ingredients together. The goat cheese worked because of its moisture content, etc. (I used a soft one). I suppose I could try blending rice cheese in with the corn, but I don't know if that would work. I've even though of putting some egg replacer in there, but I have no idea if that would work.

I always get a tamale with a peanut sauce when I go to the Smithsonian's American Indian museum. I'm even thinking of thinking of trying peanut butter. Of course, this would really change the recipe. I guess I'll try that some night I have sufficient leftovers in the fridge for when it doesn't work :lol:

      Gluten exposure when trying to conceive

      By trents · Posted

      My reaction to a gluten bolus exposure is similar to yours, with 2-3 hours of severe abdominal cramps and intractable emesis followed by several hours of diarrhea. I don't necessarily equate that one large exposure to gluten with significant intestinal lining damage, however. I think it's just a violent reaction to a what the body perceives to be a somewhat toxic substance that I am no longer tolerant of because I have quit exposing myself to it regularly. It's just the body purging itself of it rather than an expression of significant damage. Before diagnosis, when I was consuming gluten daily, I had little to no GI distress. I was, for the most part, a "silent celiac". The damage to my small bowel lining didn't happen all at once but was slow and insidious, accumulating over a period of years. The last time I got a big shot of gluten was about three years ago when I got my wife's wheat biscuits mixed up with my gluten-free ones. There was this acute reaction after about two hours of ingestion as I described above. I felt washed out for a few days and fully recovered within a week or so.  Now, I'm a 74-year-old male. So, I'm not worried about being pregnant. And I don't want to contradict your physicians advice. But I just don't think you have done significant damage to your small bowel lining by one episode of significant gluten ingestion. I just don't think it works that way.

      Gluten exposure when trying to conceive

      By Skydawg · Posted

      Wondering about some thoughts on how long to wait to try to get pregnant after a gluten exposure?  I have been diagnosed for 10 years and have followed the diet strictly. I have been cross contaminated before, but have never had a full on gluten exposure. I went to a restaurant recently, and the waiter messed up and gave me regular bread and told me it was gluten free. 2 hours later I was throwing up for the whole evening. I have never had that kind of reaction before as I have never had such a big exposure. My husband and I were planning to start trying to get pregnant this month. My dr did blood work to check for electrolytes and white blood cells, but did not do a full nutritional panel. Most of my GI symptoms have resolved in the past 2 weeks, but I am definitely still dealing with brain fog, fatigue and headaches. My dr has recommended I wait 3 months before I start to try to get pregnant.   I have read else where about how long it can take for the intestine to fully heal, and the impacts gluten exposure can have on pregnancy. I guess I am really wondering if anyone has had a similar experience? How long does it take to heal after 1 exposure like that, after following the diet so well for 10 years? Is 3 months an okay amount of time to wait? Is there anything I can do in the meantime to reduce my symptoms?

      Gluten Free Cannabis Edibles

      I’ve used tinctures and made my own edibles with gluten-free ingredients to stay safe. Dispensary staff don’t always know about gluten, so I double-check labels or just make my own.

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that there are some good doctors out there, and this is an example of why having a formal diagnosis can definitely be helpful.

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      By RMJ · Posted

      Update: I have a wonderful new gastroenterologist. She wants to be sure there’s nothing more serious, like refractory celiac, going on. She ordered various tests including some micronutrient tests that no one has ever ordered before.  I’m deficient in folate and zinc and starting supplements for both. I’m so glad I decided to go to a new GI!
