Can you list out those ingredient? I am having a hard time finding a
good source for the composition of cow/goat/human milk. Cow's milk is
easiest to find info on since it's a common food. But even there there
not everything I'd like to know is listed. For example, aminos are listed
but casein/whey content is not. What I would like to see is as complete
info as possible.

So goats milk can help with the hormone problem (of milk consuption)
but not likely the protein problem? I imagine goats casein is closer
to cows than to human version. Is that true?

While true for an average person not true with me. For one, no baked potatoes,
chocolate cakes for me. The other is that I don't eat very large meals.
More frequent/smaller ones. This makes it easier on digestion. I also
take several digestive enzymes (including the ones from vegetable sources
that work at much wider ph ranges). I also would not comsume a whole
portion of dairies at once - they would be mixed in with the rest of
my food (a bit of this then a bit of that...)

I have played with my diet long enough to get it to the point where I am fairly
happy with it. I don't even remember how many years ago I had to take any
kind of antacid. I can eat several lemons straight without any problems
or stomach upset (and without any kind of buffering).
