Hi Laurie,
  I wrote about the goat's milk - the symptoms I get from it is
  wheezing, terrible amount of mucous (up all night getting rid of it),
  and difficulty in breathing while sleeping - felt like I had bad
  case of bronchitis.  Figured it out for myself what the problem was -
  gave up all dairy products and the problems went away.  Just had blood
  allergy testing done and it did show cow's milk so don't know if
  goat milk would affect me or not.
  Was wondering if you have recipe for biscuits without eggs - have egg
  allergy also.  I really miss my biscuits.  Tried the Ener-G egg
  replacer and the mixture came out like white clumps of cement so
  threw it out.  Have a call into the Ener-G company now to see if they
  know how I can correct the problem.
  Thanks.
