Goat milk is easy to take

Most likely, cow's milk intolerance is not a consequence of your gynecological oncological surgery. Its rejection by the body can be caused by lactose deficiency.

“Some time ago I had gynecological oncological surgery. At the insistence of doctors, I moved to the village and am now engaged in agriculture. The oncologist advised me to drink goat's milk. Which is what I did. And here's what's strange: I get diarrhea from cow's milk, cottage cheese, butter, sour cream, cream, eggs, mayonnaise, kefir, yogurt and cheese. So why is goat's milk okay for me, but cow's milk products cause such a reaction?

Dear Svetlana! Most likely, cow's milk intolerance is not a consequence of your gynecological oncological surgery. Its rejection by the body can be caused by lactose deficiency. With this disease, the absorption of dairy products is impaired and an allergy to casein, the main milk protein of all mammals, appears. In this case, goat milk can replace cow milk: it is fattier and does not contain lactose (milk sugar) and casein.

True, it must be said that similar complaints also occur with cholecystopancreatitis (inflammation of the gallbladder and pancreas).

One thing is clear: you need to undergo additional examination to identify the cause of the disease. As for goat's milk as a product, it is highly recommended for weakened people and children, because it contains many useful nutrients.
