Cows can have slightly different genetics. There are two genes that are one amino acid apart. Depending on which gene the cow has she can produce slightly different milk. Most cows produce milk that has A1 beta casein., this is what causes the issues for us. A2 milk has a slightly different protein called A2 beta casein. This is what is thought to be the original dairy protein but over time it has changed and now A1 dominates. Some people with intolerances to A1 are fine with A2. It is definitely worth a shot.
With any other sort of cows milk i get asthma related symptoms, and my D has runny poo and behavioural issues. (If i am being totally honest, i am way less moody, sleep better and have a general feeling that i am coping better when i eat 'properly' When i crack it over something little, my husband now says "What have you been eating?" ) We don't have the problems with A2.
But, it doesn't work for everyone.....
I prefer A2 to rice or oat because of the superior calcium content. Besides that it tastes great. I find rice milk a little sweet. I don't mind goat and sheeps milk and would reach for that before rice or oat. But having said that i do have rice and oat milk in the cupboard!
Prior to finding about the soy intolerance, i would avoid it like the plague anyway, I have read too much bad press on the phytoestrogens, cancer links, heavy metals blah blah blah. So am more than happy to be avoiding it all together.
Again, thanks so much Falguni, you've saved me lots of time there!
Does anyone have issues with eggs?
its the only thing i've had today out of the ordinary and my bowel issues have returned, feel bloated, sick tummy and crappy. It can only be the eggs as everything else i've eaten has been exactly what i have every other day.
We have switched to A2 milk, it is very expensive but i see it as an investment in my children's future We also no longer buy any snacks (no chocolate, biscuits, chips) only fruit veg, pasta, rice. Everything else i am making from scratch. So saving money on the junk kind of compenates.
Hope you have her on FB or can contact her elsewhere.
I am glad this thread was bumped though, very interesting. As you know, I've suspected a dairy intolerance with DS1 for a long time but never had it confirmed, I talked to his paed about it but got nowhere really. We avoid yoghurt, have very small amounts of hard cheese and he drinks lactose free milk which seems to be OK for him. Going very slowly with DS2 and dairy. So far, OK I think (although his sleep is pretty bad atm, but that's probably not related...who knows).
I have never tolerated dairy very well. I don't eat much of it, usually just a bit of milk in tea/coffee and with cereal. Is there usually a family link? My brother was told recently after surgery that he is lactose intolerant (the surgeon could tell by his bowel apparently??) and should avoid dairy.
When i crack it over something little, my husband now says "What have you been eating?"
