Hey guys, I'm new to Peat-ing and am trying to establish a good baseline diet. Been doing OJ, gelatin, coconut oil, coffee with relative success but have hit a wall when it comes to incorporating dairy. I've had issues with it going back to my childhood: mucus, stuffy nose, sneezing, diarrhea, etc and did an ELISA allergy test that confirmed a moderate allergy to casein when I was 22 (now 30).
I've been off and on dairy for the entirety of my life, but never had a standard for high quality. I now want to make a sincere effort to adapt to it if I can. Problem is, an accumulation of bad experiences is preventing me from doing that.
I seem to be OK with goat milk yogurt and small amounts of raw goat cheddar and farmers cheese, but when I try to increase my intake I get digestive upset and a stuffy nose. I wonder if the lactic acid content of yogurt and farmers cheese is partially to blame.
I would like to try plain goat milk, or homemade cottage cheese but I know I have issues with the lactose. Is it a bad idea to use lacteeze drops to reduce the lactose content of my milk as it contains glycerin? I could also use Enzymedica Dairyassist and empty the capsules into the milk, but I'm not sure what ratio I would need to use as the two products seem to use different units of measurement.
