No, we do not recommend our goat milk powder as an alternative for individuals with a confirmed cow milk allergy. Cow milk allergy is caused by an immune response to cow milk proteins, and while goat milk proteins are different and contain fewer allergens, there’s still a high risk of cross-reaction. Therefore, the use of goat milk as a substitute for cow milk is not recommended.

Fortunately, medically diagnosed cow milk allergy is relatively rare, affecting only 1-3% of infants and young children. The majority outgrow it by 5 years of age. In adults, the prevalence is much lower, with about 0.1-0.5% of people having a true cow milk allergy. A much larger group experiences discomfort after consuming cow milk due to an intolerance rather than an allergy. People with cow milk intolerance, who may have difficulty digesting certain components of milk such as fats or proteins, are often able to enjoy goat milk without difficulty. For these individuals, goat milk may be a beneficial alternative. Anyone with a severe cow milk allergy or intolerance should consult a healthcare professional before making any dietary changes.

Cow milk allergy, cow milk intolerance, and lactose intolerance are different conditions,
although they can cause similar symptoms:

Cow milk allergy
This is an immune response to proteins found in cow milk. The body mistakenly identifies cow milk proteins as harmful and triggers allergic reactions that can include skin rashes, digestive problems, or even severe reactions such as breathing difficulties. This type of allergy requires strict avoidance of cow milk and often goat milk due to possible cross- reaction.

Cow milk intolerance
Unlike an allergy, cow milk intolerance doesn’t involve the immune system. Instead, it occurs when the digestive system has difficulty breaking down certain components of cow milk, such as fats or proteins. Symptoms may include bloating, abdominal pain, and digestive discomfort. People with cow milk intolerance may find goat milk easier to digest.

Lactose intolerance
This condition is caused by a human lack of lactase, the enzyme needed to break down lactose, the natural sugar in milk. Without enough lactase, lactose passes through the digestive tract undigested and is available to bacteria in the gut, potentially causing gas, bloating, and diarrhea.
Lactose intolerance is not specific to cow milk; it can occur with any dairy product that contains lactose. Some goat milk products, especially lactose-free options, may be easier to tolerate.

In summary, cow milk allergy involves an immune response, cow milk intolerance is a digestive problem related to milk components, and lactose intolerance is specifically related to the inability to digest lactose.
