Can I drink goat milk if I'm allergic to cow's milk or am lactose intolerant?

Frequently Asked Questions About Nigerian Dwarf Dairy Goats ...
It depends on which one it is. If you are lactose intolerant, it means you cannot digest lactose, and all mammals' milk (human, cow, goat, mouse, dolphin, etc.) contains lactose, so you would respond to goat milk the same way you respond to cow milk. If you are allergic to cow milk, chances are very good that you may be able to drink goat milk. The protein in cow milk is very hard to disgest, because calves go hours between nursing.

The main difference between the milk of cow's versus that of these smaller animals is the percent protein content, being smaller in the smaller animals (because the newborns do not have to grow as large as fast as calves grow to become cows; human milk is even lower in protein relative to these animals). Thus, to consume products made from goats or sheep is really to consume less of the protein.

It is thought that goat milk is more easily digested than cow's milk, mainly because goat's milk does not contain the same concentrations of casein, the protein found in cow's milk. Goat's milk does however contain forms of casein and about the same level of lactose as found in cow's milk. If you are avoiding dairy products, than goat's milk should also be avoided.

Does goat milk have lactose in it?

FAQ's
Yes. All natural mammalian milks, including human milk, contain lactose (milk sugar). However, many lactose intolerant people are able to tolerate goat milk. It has been suggested that the reason for this lies in its superior digestibility. Quickly passing through the digestive tract, goat milk leaves less undigested residue behind in the colon to ferment and cause the unpleasant symptoms of lactose intolerance.

How do I make my goat make milk?
