What Has Casein But No Lactose

[JBaby]

Any thoughts on foods that have casein but no lactose? Trying to figure out my problem here. Maybe its both but if i can test myself and get the answer correct rather than pay out of pocket(no insurance) for someone to screw up test results for me i would rather make my own diagnosis.

I believe hard, aged cheeses like cheddar have low or no lactose. Also yogurt.

You could try to find some of those weird cheeses that have added casein, but no other milk products. Those might not be the best choice for figuring out a problem since I think they are made of soy and you might have a small issue with soy that would be magnified if you were eating big chunks of soy as cheese.

I think hard cheese also. You can also take come lactaid rand pills with the cheese and see if you still have a reaction. The Lactaid digests the lactose sugar, so it you take 3 or so Lactaid pills and eat a small amount of cheese that should be a good test. Around DC they have Lactaid milk in stores also but I don't know how much lactose is left in them. You could probably write the manufacturer of some brands and find out.

I think you could also check out nutrition stores. I think body builders sometimes use pure casein supplements.

no dairy products can be certain to have *NO* lactose. if you want to do a test, eat something low lactose (harder cheeses or yogurt) WITH lactaid. if you find you have some variety of reaction, it's almost certainly from the casein.
