Why does cow milk trigger my allergies and goat milk does not?

I have never thought much about this, but it seems that cow milk makes me feel sickly, while goat milk (cheeses) actually seems to energize me. Any ideas?
Answer:
they may have different proteins, and in a true allergy, its protein that is the trigger. If you are truly allergic rather than lactose intolerant (in otherwords, if you swell, itch, have trouble breathing, rather than just indigestion) than you may only be allergic to cow's milk protein, and thus would be fine with goat's milk or sheep's milk etc.
lactose
Drink goat milk
alot of times, the allergy is from the form of processed milk you consume. Try Organic milk. My mother in law can only drink Organic milk without any allergic reactions. I myself have noticed that my system is alot better on the Organic Milks.

  1. Google "acid/alkaline food". While cow's milk produces acid in the body, goats milk has an alkaline effect. Some acidic foods like oranges and lemons actually produce alkaline effects in the body. Meat, however, and many other animal based products produce acid in the body. An acid Ph in your system leaves you vulnerable to disease. There may be a normally benign (or even beneficial) bacteria in your gut that over-grows when you are acidic and dominates the system. Or, there is an enzyme that is over produced by your body in reaction to the cow's milk that crowds out other substances that help you break down your foods into usable components. Without that usable fuel, you haven't anything to use for energy. Your cow's milk may even be triggering the mechanism that stores fuel as fat rather than burning it as energy. Acid/alkaline balance is little known in the West. But Western medicine hasn't been around that long. Do your homework.
