They sound good don't they? I've often wondered if they deal with milk protein intolerance or if they are only good for lactose intolerance.

I'm a bit dubious about taking tablets to cover up a problem. especially ones that aren't available to the UK public directly.

I suppose they would be good for the odd binge now and then.

Hi all,

I to would be a bit dubious about taking these tablets, as they sound too good to be true. That is just my opinion of course. If anyone has tried them please make an entry in the forums, and let us know the results.

I tried lactose reduced milk a while back and it only contains 5% lactose. I was feeling sick straight away, bloated and was bad for quite a few days. I am now left wondering as too what part of the milk I am intolerant to.

Has anyone actually found out what part of the milk they are intolerant/alllergic to, and if so what process was used.

Look forward to your replies.

I would be careful with products like this.

They mainly work by supplying extra lactase enzyme which allows your body to digest lactose. I don't know how well, or if they would work at all for someone who has severe allergies.

If these things work for you then great, but i would personally be very wary about using these or any of the other similar products. They are good for occasions where you are eating our and would like to have the freedom to eat what you want, but these are not a cure for the problem and will not have a lasting effect for more than a day or so.

Do a search on the internet and see if you can find any genuine information from people who have used them, not just the advertising hype which i found a lot of when I did a quick search.

@floliketheriver
When you try them, let us know if they work. Good Luck B)

ok everyone,

what a response.

1st of all they seemed to have helped me, i took 2 every mornin for 2 weeks then 1 aday.

i had my friend down from holland and we was out everyday eatin all wrong foods .. having cappucinos and sandwiches, mc donalds and went for a meal, had trifle and barms with butter.

it didnt stop the headaches but it did stop the bloating as usually i can only manage 1st and 2nd course. this time i had 3.. went to blackpool and wanted fish & chips.

i ordered 2 more bottles but cannot afford 2 keep buying these .. my dr sed due to my condition that they may not digest QUICK ENOUGH .. so taking YAKULT would just be as effective.. i used to have yakult but still got bloated also it did take the tummy ache away. .. Remember i am not allowed, soya lactose or dairy and i went whole hog lol ..went mad for 5 whole days.

So, i leave it yourselves to figure out.

take care

luv

It sounds like they work for you anyway :D

I may be wrong here, so please feel free to correct me, but I believe that casein is a protein and lactose is a sugar and whilst anything with milk in will contain casein, you can get lactose free products which still contain casein eg you can buy lactose free cheese but it is not dairy free. Confused?

We had some hot dog sausages which produced a reaction and the only suspect ingredient was sodium caseinate (in my uneducated, new to milk free food days). So I am pretty sure that milk proteins are our problem rather than lactose. I think cheese is high in casein too, but generally all milk products contain casein.

I'm not sure if lactose and casein intolerance cause different symptoms too. Classic lactose intolerance is diarrhoea, sickness etc whilst milk proteins seem to cause other problems. The general line from the medics is that lactose intolerance is a short term thing, often a result of an upset stomach, whilst cow's milk protein allergy can be lifelong, but I don't take a lot of notice of what the ill-informed medical profession think.

Hi Pam,

You are correct, Lactose is the suger in milk and casein is the main protein in milk along with whey.

Lastose Intolerance is the mian problem for people with sensitivities to dairy, but a small amount (about 4%) are allergic to casein.

Products such as DairyCare can help with Lactose Intolerance, but as far as i'm aware there is nothing that can be done for Casein allergy and the only solution is to avoid all dairy products.

Pam, one thing to be careful with if you think your main problem is milk proteins is that casein is found in some soya based products. If you follow this link here (http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/stevecarper/cheeses.htm) you can see what i mean.

Most sites that i have seen concerning lactose intolerance state that it is a perminent problem and there it is more likely to get worse with age.

Take a look at this site here, it is very interesting:

Steve,

Yes, I know exactly what you mean with those cheeses, it was the soya kaas that I bought thinking that it was safe when in fact it does contain casein. (Though Veggie Kaas is safe)

It's all a minefield isn't it?

I will have a look at the other link later.

Thanks

Hmm doctors - I know more about my problem than my GP I think.

For a few years I felt sick after eating cream cakes - tradition at work dictates you buy cream cakes all round. Two years ago I had a virus which left me with water in my ear and my GP suggested some over the counter tablets to sort it out. After a day of 3 tablets I felt quite ill and by the end of the second day I had to give up. I went back to the chemist and bought the liquid version which contained glucose. I found that the tablets contained lactose. In fact a number of tablets contain lactose so I always pester the GP and pharmacist :)

I now realise what was wrong with me when I was a baby and a child. When I was born I was bottle fed and for about two months was violently sick. Nothing was done in the dark ages LOL and I grew out of it. Later when I was about 7 years old we had milk at school and when they had spare bottles I was often picked out for extras. I can remember very clearly how ill I felt and as a result was sent to the London hospital (we lived in London). I was very small for my age so they checked that I was growing for about three years, I was but my growth was about three years behind. They never found out what the problem was but when I went to senior school and had less milk I was fine. I have always had lactose intolrance in my opinion. The first two months of my life were so bad that my rate of growth must have been affected.

My GP says that lactose intolerance is something that comes and goes. Hmmm my brother has had it for the last 20 years.

Knowing a little about biology - the enzymes needed to break down proteins are found in saliva and the stomach. The enzyme lactase is produced in the intestine - so I think that you would feel ill a lot quicker with a protein allergy rather than a lactose problem. I find that when I have overdone the lactose it gets to me just as I am going to bed - so feel ill all night.

I apologise for the long post.
