Goats milk or 3%

[boyfriendofCFer]

So I was told by a family friend that goats milk was better for people with CF and cronic asma because it is easier to digest is that true? We went and bought some and Amanda finds it ok I just try not to bring up the fact that it's goats milk. When we used to do physio she would always through up a bit of milk and since we started with the goats milk she hasnt thrown any up so thats been a positive cause it just makes physio easier, but anyways if you have used it I would like to know what you thought about it?

I've also heard that goat's milk is easier to digest. We have friends with goats and they swear by it. The idea of it makes my kids sick (me too) so we haven't tried it.

Why is it better for asthmatics? Does goats milk make mucus thicker like cows milk?

Interesting topic

goat milk is higher in protiene, it is easier to digest because it contains smaller fat globules than cows milk it also does not need homgenization.
Interesting fact.....there is more goats milk drunk in the world than cows milk.I agree its the thought of drinking it that puts you off. We give our son 'gold top' thats full cream milk from the Channle Islands

I like Goats Cheese but could not drink the goats milk. The taste is not great to me. Everything does take time to acquire a taste. I found that organic milk and cheese work fine for me. I feel everything in moderation is what works. Too much goats milk and you might develop sensitivities.

I do goat's milk a lot.  I found a brand I like and don't find
the taste weird.  Of course, having said that, my husband says
my taster is off because my smeller is off.<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">  <br>

I am on this anti-inflammatory diet and I have to say that when I
drink reg cow's milk, my lungs feel full...like pressure.<br>
not so with the goat's milk....and I am not allergic to cow's milk
so, I have no idea why this is like that????<br>

a sort of relative question... do you know wich of the two (cow or goat milk) has less sugar?

I believe it's only cow's milk that makes your mucus thicker, I don't drink straight millk, but when we need milk we use soy milk, can't taste a difference when cooking with it. I've also used Rice Milk, that's pretty tasteless. I haven't tried Goat's milk.
