When I was young myself, my mum suggested I change my milk to goats milk to help with asthma and eczema. This wasn’t a scientific experiment, so I can’t say categorically, but I think it helped.
Delamere Dairy produce a goat’s milk range; award winning goat’s milk cheeses; yoghurt and butter which are stocked by GoodnessDirect. Goat’s milk is reputedly very good in cosmetics and cooking but, of course, many people use it if they are wanting to avoid casein or cannot digest lactose. Although goat’s milk does contain lactose it has been seen to be easier to digest than that present in cows milk and so is acceptable to some who would otherwise avoid it. Goat’s milk is also high in calcium, low in cholesterol, and in general much easier to digest than cow’s milk, so perhaps it’s not surprising that goat’s milk is more widely used around the world than cow’s milk. Cow’s milk is renowned for creating mucus, but not so goat’s milk. So if you are a catarrh sufferer try it out.
