Hi --

There's about an 85% overlap between the proteins in different mammalian
milks.  So if your problem is milk protein, then there's a chance that goat
milk (or sheep milk, or whale milk ...) will work for you.  But I wouldn't
suggest trying it if your reaction is severe.

If your problem is lactose, then it probably depends upon how bad your
intolerance is.  But if lactose-reduced milks don't work for you, I don't
see why goat milk would.  Lactose is the same across all mammal milks.

My website includes a link to a university agricultural department's course
on milk.  You may find information there that will help you understand
the ins and outs of different milks.  The link is in the References section.

I hope this helps,
