> He reacted to lambs that were fed on a diet containing whey...
Perhaps we were wrong but it was enough of a coincedence
for me and my Ped. Allergist agreed that it is indeed possible.
With allergies anything is possible.<
Sorry, but I stand firm in this. The original note talked about
lactose intolerance. And becoming or suffering the
symptoms of lactose intolerance because
of eating an animal fed with whey is physiologic nonsense.
You are talking about milk allergies. These are two entirely different
conditions. An allergy is a reaction to a protein. The other is an
inability to digest milk sugar. It is extremely important for people
on this List, of all places, to understand the difference.
Causes, reactions, symptoms, and avoidances for the two
problems are totally unrelated.
I've seen this confusion crop up a significant number of
times recently. For you own sakes, please be sure you
know and understand which you have, and what it involves.
