Avoid Milk Allergies and Lactose Intolerance organic

(Borganic.org) Milk is an unhealthy food that is unnatural for the human body. Everyone is at some level intolerant to it. But there are some who have a more severe problem with it. If you are described as `lactose intolerant` it means you lack the enzyme `lactase` needed to break down milk sugar, or `lactose`. People who are lactose intolerant often get bloating, indigestion and diarrhea when drinking and eating milk products. Other digestive illnesses which result in a generalized reduction of digestive enzymes can also lead to the development of food intolerances including milk.

If you are Lactose Intolerant, Avoid the Following Foods

Foods which contain lactose which must be avoided include: milk, cream, butter, cheese, fromage frais, ice cream, milk powder, condensed milk, buttermilk, custard, most margarines. Some biscuits, cakes, breads (and mixes), sauces, soups, dressings, sausages, luncheon meats, tea/coffee whiteners, malt drinks, chocolate. Avoid any packaged foods, including tins, which contain milk solids, skimmed milk, milk proteins, and non-fat milk" these are all milk products. Unfortunately goat and sheep products contain lactose too.

What is a Milk Allergy?
A milk allergy is different from being lactose intolerant. It means your immune system is not tolerant of certain proteins found in milk products - it has nothing to do with missing digestive enzymes. These proteins are called allergens if a person reacts to them; the commonest one in milk and milk products is called casein. Common symptoms are digestive problems, catarrh, skin rashes, lethargy, irritability, blocked nose, sinus problems and excessive mucous production. Most people have a milk allergy to some degree or another.
