Re: Holiday Food

Interesting, because the bacteria that work to produce cheese gobble up lactose. However, not being an expert on the production of the myriad of cheeses available, some may have milk or lactose containing products added after those critters have done their work...or it may be that something else entirely in the cheese that was causing your body to revolt.

I don't know about yogurt (wretched goop), but cheese will definitely
trigger the lactose-intolerant reaction in me. I guess I was lucky,
didn't become lactose-intolerant until my early 40's. But what a blasted
nuisance I must say.

You are right, given that she likes milk on cereal. Cheese and yogurt
don't have lactose so even the intolerant can eat them. Of course the
Chinese think we are nuts eating cheese, which to them tastes like
dirty socks!

Well, she isn't lactose intollerant....cause she likes it with cereal
in the morning and cheese, yogurt, cottage cheese, etc.  She just
doesn't like the taste of milk.  Man....I grew up with farm-fresh
dairy milk....good stuff.  And we buy it from a local dairy and it's
great.  I can remember skimming the cream off the top of the big ole
jar...and putting it in an empty jar with salt etc. and shaking it
till it turned to butter.  Yummy stuff.

Most folks of northern European heritage can drink milk throughout
their lives, but the vast majority of the human population cannot
tolerate milk after the age of 5...they lose the ability to digest
milk sugar, lactose. The result? Very uncomfortable cramping and
diarrhea.

Hmmm, must be the "Kraut" in me......my mother is German....but I
just LOVE sauerkraut.   And on my father's side...Scotch....so I
love cooked cabbage too....and coleslaw.  I just pretty much love
cabbage.  I cook it all the time...kids love it too...except for
Robert's youngest, who is a very picky eater.  She doesn't even
drink milk.....now that's just WRONG.  I can't imagine life without
THAT!!!  So I buy her the orange juice with vitamin C and D in it.
