It is commonly believed that milk proteins, not the sugars, found in milk are the cause for a dairy allergy. Although symptoms associated with lactose intolerance are similar to that of a dairy allergy, the body's reaction is different. A true food allergy is triggered by the immune systems hypersensitivity to the ingested food, in this case dairy proteins. There are various degrees of allergic response and over time they can intensify.

Dairy cows are made pregnant yearly to ensure they produce adequate milk. In nature the calf would suckle for almost a year but nature, like the calf, is denied by the dairy industry. Some calves may be separated from their dams on the first day of life; others might remain for just a few days. But as the inevitable by-products of relentless milk production each will have to endure one of several possible fates.

People who are truly allergic to dairy can’t tolerate the proteins found in the dairy products. We don’t use these proteins, called casein, in the production of Hyland’s Restful Legs. We use only the sugar component of cow’s milk, called lactose. There is rarely a problem among dairy allergy people using these products. If you are very concerned, seek the advice of a licensed health care professional before using this product.

Sulfa is an internally taken sulfur based drug. Our products are applied externally. We recommend doing a patch test before applying any topical liquid or cream to your skin. Individuals that are allergic to sulfa drugs do not generally have any adverse reactions from our topical treatment. However, we do stress that you patch test before beginning a full treatment regiment.

Yes. Coconut milk is Not a dairy product and adds a rich creamy texture to Asian, African, Caribbean, Indian, Pacific Islander, and Jamaican cuisines, just to name a few. Coconut milk is high in potassium and saturated fat but its a saturated fat that is actually good for you, according to Mary Enig, fellow of the American College of Nutrition In Silver Spring, Md.

Most people that are allergic to cow milk products or who are lactose intolerant can use goat milk products. The lactose or protein in the milk is what usually causes the allergic reaction or intolerance. Goat milk has both lactose and protein but it is of a different make up that doesn't bother most people.

All of our Organic Cultured Soy products are completely casein and dairy-free. We use nondairy cultures to culture our soy yogurt.

Yes, All dairy ingredients are made with pasteurized, rBST hormone free milk and do not contain animal enzymes or rennet. If a product is accidentally placed in the home refrigerator instead of the freezer, it will probably still be safe to eat, as long as the temperature of the product has not exceeded refrigerator temperatures (should be below 40 degrees F at all times).

In some of Amy's products like Tofu Vegetable Lasagna, we use soy cheeze instead of dairy cheese, for the benefit of our customers who are trying to avoid dairy cheeses. However, Amy's does not label these products as "dairy free" because they contain a small amount of caseinate, a milk/dairy protein which helps the soy cheeze to melt and stretch. Amy's clearly labels the soy cheeze as containing caseinate, a milk derived protein.

Whilst both fabrics are natural products, silk has the advantage over cotton as it is a protein fibre of animal origin rather than a vegetable fibre and has the ability to mimic human hair. The long strands of silk provide a smooth, friction free garment which will not irritate the skin, even on the most active toddler. In addition, DermaSilk is capable of maintaining a stable body temperature in whatever climate and absorbing up to 1/3 rd of its weight in moisture before it begins to feel damp.

Conventional silk underclothes are made of tightly woven threads which do not allow for the free passage of air through their weave – rather like the material used in parachutes. DermaSilk uses a specially designed knitted construction with plenty of ventilation capacity. You can breathe through 48 layers of DermaSilk without too much effort. This is very important for eczema patients who need to maintain a stable temperature and moisture levels close to their skin.

All of the products that I sell do not contain nuts with the exception of Solar Oil, as a replacement to this I would recommend Avoplex Nail and Cuticle Replenishing Oil.

Our products are derived from synthetic materials, not any type of animal or milk protein. Of course, if you experience any kind of allergic reaction, be sure to check with your doctor regardless of the type of product you are using.

Yes, GR2eat Bars contain whey protein, caseinate, and lactose. The amount of lactose is so small that it should not be an issue for even the most sensitive lactose intolerant person.

No. I understand some people can be allergic to these items in other ways, but acne is a bacterial infection, not an allergy. However, it is so easy to prepare food dishes with these items and have small, hidden amounts of sugar added. So again, the main food item may not be a problem itself as much as what someone adds to the food during preparation.

PetSilkTM Liquid Silk applied to a dry coat makes it silky soft, smooth and more manageable, especially on thick coats, and it also aids in straightening curly coats. After bathing the dog and thoroughly drying its coat, pour a small amount of Liquid Silk--about the size of a half dollar--onto the palm of your hand. Rub your hands together and then quickly rub it thoroughly into the dogs coat. Finally, brush the coat once over to smooth it out. FAQ Index
