Many of our diets can be overly dependent on dairy products such as milk, cheese, yoghurt and butter. Dairy foods can be allergenic and contribute to health problems in sensitive individuals. Fortunately there are many convenient, tasty and practical alternatives which include goats and sheeps milk products, soya products, and even milks made from rice, oats, almonds or hazelnuts!

Unfortunately, many of our diets are overly dependent on wheat and many people have developed an intolerance to it. There are many simple, cheap and practical wheat-free alternatives to cereals, bread, pasta, flour, and even cakes and biscuits! See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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. Also, many people who are lactose intolerant can eat small quantities of dairy and also tolerate yogurt and ice cream pretty well. See similar questions...

Individuals with lactose intolerance should select a pure whey protein isolate, which has less than 0.1 gram of lactose per tablespoon (20 grams). This is less lactose than the amount found in a cup of yogurt and research has shown that most people with lactose intolerance have no trouble taking this very small amount of lactose. Individuals with lactose intolerance should avoid whey protein concentrates as they usually contain lactose and the amount can vary greatly from product to product. See similar questions...

Lactic acid producing bacteria should not be confused with lactose which is a milk sugar which can cause intolerance in a small propertion of the population deficient in the enzyme lactase. Some studies have shown that Lactic Acid Producing bacteria can actually help break down dairy products into simple sugars. See similar questions...

Lactose is a sugar that makes up around 2-8% of the solids in milk. Nature intended liquid milk primarily for newborns and the very young. In many species, the adult mammal produces less of the enzyme lactase, used to digest milk. As a result, many adults, unable to properly metabolize lactose, don't tolerate milk very well. However, it is a widely held misconception that there is more lactose in cheese than in other dairy products. See similar questions...

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.

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. See similar questions...

Try using ND's Nutrient Search Tool. First select the category of food that you're interested in (e.g. Beef Products), then select lowest in Saturated Fat. This will display a list of foods that may be better choices than the ones you're currently consuming. You may also want to view a list of the foods highest in Saturated Fat to learn which foods to avoid. This, of course, is an iterative process that will slowly but surely sharpen your nutritional knowledge. See similar questions...
