Milk Allergy & Lactose Intolerance

I need to improve my digestive health. I eat enough fiber, drink water and eat low fat, but I still suffer from bloating and flatulence. I can't find prebiotic food like kimchi and Kombucha in shops. I can't drink probiotic yogurt drinks because I'm lactose intolerant. Please help! First I would suggest you make an...

I am a 58-year-old female who is a bit of a challenge, I have been diagnosed with acid reflux, IBS, lactose intolerant, and diverticulosis (the less severe one). What can I eat, NOT what I cannot eat? Any suggestions? My life is miserable. One thing or another causes problems. Your help would be appreciated! First...

I was diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) as well as lactose intolerance four years ago. I have cut out all forms of milk (including casein, whey, and milk fat), caffeine, carbonation and alcohol and am taking a doctor-recommended daily fiber drink to keep regular. I still don't feel all that great. Are there...

Our family is trying to get down to eating only natural foods. We've even bought live chickens, pigs and a steer. Recently, we've considered buying a cow for milk. Isn't the milk straight from the cow safe? Milk straight from the cow is called raw milk, which is a carrier of several serious diseases....

May I know the % of fat content in whole milk as compared to 2%? Thanks. Whole milk is 3.5% (approximately as it depends on the cow's feed) and 2% contains just 2% fat. There is approximately 1 1/2 teaspoon of butterfat in whole milk, 1 teaspoon of butterfat in 2% milk, 1/2 teaspoon of...

I have thought of another substance that I am wondering about:stearoyl-2-lactylate sounds suspiciously like some kind of milk derivative. Would this be a problem for me? Calcium stearoyl-2-lactylate is a food additive approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is manufactured from two acids, not milk. It is a calcium salt and used...
