Lactose intolerance does not mean dairy intolerance. In fact, research shows that most people who are lactose intolerant can enjoy up to two cups of milk a day, particularly if they drink it with meals. Other tips for reducing symptoms include eating aged cheeses that are naturally low in lactose and drinking lactose-free milk.

BiPro gives you the great benefits of dairy without the lactose.  One tablespoon of BiPro contains less than 0.1 gram of lactose, which is less than the amount of lactose found in one cup of yogurt.  Research studies have shown that most people with lactose intolerance can safely consume this low, negligible amount of lactose with no discomfort.

Chocolate milk may be more easily digested than unflavored milk in people with lactose intolerance. In fact, most individuals with a limited ability to break down lactose can drink two cups of any type of milk a day when consumed in small servings or with other foods.

Many people are allergic to milk (usually cow's milk) or milk products. Dairy allergies are different from lactose intolerance. A dairy allergy is an extreme sensitivity to the proteins in dairy products, while lactose intolerance is caused by a lack of lactase enzyme, which helps the body digest dairy products. Dairy allergies can range from mild indigestion to anaphylaxis, which is life threatening. All Silk products are dairy-free, lactose-free and casein-free.

Milk allergies are an abnormal response by the body to milk protein. Lactose intolerance is the body's inability to digest lactose, the sugar in milk. Allergies to milk are rare, while lactose intolerance is not. A food allergy is an abnormal response of the body's immune system to ordinarily harmless foods or ingredients -- in this case, milk protein. An estimated 1-3% of infants and young children have milk allergy, but usually outgrow it by two or three years of age.

Most people with lactose intolerance do not experience a problem with colostrum, as there is only a small amount of lactose present. If, however you have a severe milk protein allergy, you should consult your doctor prior to taking colostrum, due to its high protein count.

We have no research that explores this. However, we’ve heard countless stories from people who say they are able to drink our milk, despite having/being lactose intolerance. If you have lactose intolerance and you try our milk we would welcome you to share your experience with us.

No. Adults who avoid milk may not get an adequate intake of calcium and other essential nutrients. LAND O LAKES? Dairy Ease? provides all of the benefits of real milk, because it is real milk. With Dairy Ease?, it's easy to enjoy the health benefits of dairy milk without the side effects associated with lactose intolerance.

No. Acidophilus milk is simply cows milk with the lactobacillus acidophilus bacteria added to it. It still contains the same amount of lactose and milk proteins and should be avoided. Return to FAQs

Yes. The large proteins, such as lactose, are filtered out during the extraction process. Are transfer factors made of sugars, proteins or fats? Isolated transfer factors have been determined to be a chain of small peptides consisting of 44 amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. The immune system is challenged during times of stress. Because of this, additional support through supplementation may promote a healthy immune system.

Fluid Recovery does contain ingredients derived from dairy, and therefore, may contain trace amounts of lactose for those who are highly sensitive. However it is 99.9% lactose free due to the high quality of whey protein isolate. It is always best to consult your physician.

No. These disorders are not transmitted from a person to another, nor are they transmitted through other media such as bacteria, viruses, etc. While lactose intolerance is the inability of the person to produce enough lactase to breakdown sugar lactose into glucose, milk allergy is caused by the inability of the immune system to learn that milk proteins are harmless of the body. None of these two deficiencies are caused by external agent, however, they can be hereditary.

No. Lactose intolerance is caused by a decrease in the body’s production of lactase. Lactase is an enzyme that helps you digest lactose, natural milk sugar. The most common symptoms are swelling, cramps and diarrhea. A milk allergy, on the other hand, is a reaction to the protein present in milk.

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 most likely possibilities are calcium and vitamin D deficiencies, because milk is a major source of these nutrients in the American diet. Fortified soy milk, fortified orange juice, tofu, spinach and most "greens" (collard greens, turnip greens, and kale) are good non-dairy sources of Calcium.
