Ron,

Would your reply apply equally to ewes and goats' or even water buffalo milk 
and products?

TIA

Hi Robin,
If your immune system is sensitized to milk proteins you may be mounting
an immune reaction without being aware of it. There are several apparent
health benefits that, on closer inspection, may be detrimental. For
instance, the calcium in milk is highly bio-available. On the other
hand, the calcium overwhelms the active transport capacity that moves
minerals from the lumen to the bloodstream. The net result is a shortage
of other minerals. Dairy is often recommended to women as a preventive
measure for bone density issues but iron storage often suffers as a
result of such recommendations.

I'd like to suggest that you try strictly avoiding dairy for several
weeks. If you then find yourself reacting to the dairy, you will know
that it has long posed a health problem to you that had been masked by
what Hans Selye called "adaptation" . It might also be useful and
interesting to check your status of other minerals, especially iron
stores and zinc.

Best Wishes,
Ron
