>Hello Martin!
>Since you  think I should share my experience whit people on the
>list , here are what I have done to exclude milk. (If you like,
>you can ad it too the list in my name, perhaps other Norwegians
>respond. ) I have simply cut off milk(-products) in my diet.
>Gravy I replace with finely chopped vegetables cooked to a sauce.
>When in need of ice-cream, I use Mango sorbet from Mowenpick
>which I can eat. (Have you tried that?)
>
>When I must ad milk in some recipes, I use coconut-milk.
>I do not react to that in small amounts, but I know that many do.
>I use dried coconut-milk; Nestles Instant coconut milk. Easily
>found in Asian food stores. That allows me to bake cakes with
>some taste, that non allergic people also like.
>
>Many uses "soya semp", (You get it from the pharmacies, Norwegian
>brand name.) but when you have not used it from childhood, it
>does not taste too good.

>>Is there anyone out ther who cannot tolerate common dairy
>>products, but has no problems with brown (whey?) goat cheese?
>
>I can eat some brown cheese, but as I have lactose intolerance,
>I can eat a little milk-products if it is not too often. I don't
>know if you can eat goat cheeses but notice that a lot of the
>Norwegian goat cheeses have cows-milk in it. I believe that "Ekte
>geitost" do not have cows-milk in it, but I am not sure. Check it
>out before you try it. (It is smart to only eat products you
>tolerate fore a week or so, and be in an allergy-safe environment
>when you try out the goat-cheese products. Only try a small
>amount at a time, and do not eat any doubtful food for the next
>week. Than you are more aware of the reactions you get. If you
>tolerate that small amount, wait a weak, and then try a small
>amount again. )
>
>Well that was what I can remember  to mention, but write again if
>you wonder about something.
