I've been told that "hard" cheeses such as Peccorino Romano are lactose free due to the aging process.  I've been looking for others that I can substitute for American (other than Cheddar). What I really need is a complete listing of what is lactose free.

Hard aged cheeses are generally much lower in lactose, but they aren't lactose free. They might just have a low enough amount that it won't upset your body. Aged sharp cheddar, aged swiss (gruyere, emmentaler), or dry jack might be good options. Another thing you might want to try are raw cheeses (available at many health food stores). A majority of people who are lactose intolerant are not bothered by raw dairy products. It has something to do with the pasteurization process changing the structure of the lactose. They're generally a little more expensive, but it might be worth a try if it means you'd be able to eat cheese.

Lactose Intolerant. \n\nLactose intolerance occurs when the body cannot easily digest lactose, the kind of sugar found in milk and dairy products. This happens when the small intestine does not make enough of an enzyme called lactase. Your body needs lactase to break down, or digest, lactose. \n\nWhen lactose moves through the large intestine (colon) without being properly digested, it can cause uncomfortable symptoms such as gas, pain in the belly, and bloating. Some people with lactose intolerance cannot digest any milk products while others can eat or drink small amounts of milk products or certain types of milk products without problems. \n\nLactose intolerance is common in adults. The biggest challenges for people who are lactose-intolerant are knowing how to eat to avoid discomfort and getting enough calcium to maintain healthy bones.

Sorry no milk or cottage cheese in the center of bones. In long bones (like the thigh bone, aka femur) and some flat bones (like the hip bone) there is a substance called marrow and that is responsible for producing cells in your body like your white and red blood cells. These cells help you fight off infection and carry oxygen to other cells.\nHoped this was able to help you.

I'm afraid we're in the same boat as you.  I can eat small amounts of cheese, yogurt, ice cream, and butter without symptoms...but if I eat them too frequently, or in large amounts, then it's the usual symptoms...and no, Lactaid doesn't always work for me either.\n\nYou have to learn moderation...and to do without the things you used to love (mmm...milk), if, like me, your allergy developed later in life.  It sucks, yes...but you learn to live with it.\n\nLarge amounts of soy-based products can have adverse affects as well...and I personally cannot stand soy-based substitutes...but that's me.  \n\nAs for lactose-free items....those are mostly safe, but sometimes even the lactose free milk (Lactaid) will still bother me.\n\nNot sure about the watercress thing...hadn't heard that one before.

Milk is mostly water. There is a sugar, lactose. Lactose is broken down by bacteria into acid. The acid causes the proteins in milk to curdle, or coagulate or denature. The curd is what cottage cheese is made of. The liquid water with dissolved   vitamins and minerals is called whey. It can be used for an animal feed.

I was tested for allergies and discovered I was allergic to egg whites and milk.  Overtime I have been able to build my tolerance to foods that contain these.....but know your bodies limits! Having it once a day is fine for me, but not 3 to 4 times a day.  I am not sure if you are allergic or Lactose Intolerant...in that case you can easily take Lactaid before you eat anything with Milk or eggs in it to help your body digest it.  You can also switch to soy milk which it different from cow's milk.  If you are young, you have a big chance of growing out of the allergy.  I have grown out of almost all of mine.  Hope this helped!

here cant be allergy to sugars.\nbecause allergy involves immune response to foreign molecule.\nsugars are not foreign, and not big enough to elicit such a response.\nBut casein may elicit immune response.\nIf you cant do with lactose, it is called lactose intolerance.\nThis is because lactose is not metabolized by your body.\nSo certain other bacteria in your gut use it, and produce stomach upset.

It's doubtful.\n\nSucrose has a different structural shape than lactose. Also, lactose is composed of glucose and galactose. You would have to not only break of the extra CH2OH from the right side of the lactose molecule but you would also have to flip over many of the hydroxyl groups on the monosaccarides galactose and glucose.\n\nSorry.

Lactose is a reducing sugar and will therefore react with Benedict's reagent. The reaction is quantitative, so you can measure the amount of copper(I) oxide formed. Of course this assumes that there are no other reducing sugars present, nor other material that might interfere. i assume that you are trying to measure lactose in milk or milk products. You would probably need to precipitate proteins first - by curdling with a little acid.

Lactose intolerance is completely different from allergy to milk.  If you eat caramels (the worst !!! for people with lactose intolerance) and do not get terribly ill about 1 day to 36 hours later, then you have something else wrong.\nThis does not make you throw up though.\n\nLactase is an enzyme that helps you to digest milk, cheese and butter (all containing lactose, cheese has more than milk and butter has the most).  \n\nAllergies are something completely different.\n\nYou need to keep a careful record of what you eat, noting the day and time of day.  Also record when you have pains.  Take the record with you (about 7 days worth) when you visit the doctor.\n\nYou need to visit a doctor.  If you are too sick to keep records, visit the doctor now, ASAP.\n\nIf you really are pretty sure milk is the culprit, buy some LACTAID enzyme tablets at the drug store.  Use two or three per glass of milk.  You will need even more for things like ice cream, cheese cake, cheddar cheese.  Skip the caramels, even the whole bottle of LACTAID does not help with those.\n\nLACTAID tablets are a natural enzyme, there is no danger of overdose, you could eat 40 tablets by themselves and it would not be harmful, but it would be a waste of good tablets.  MOst bread in America has milk in it, so do a lot of other things.  You have to start reading ingredient labels if it turns out you are lactose intolerant.  Rye Bread is always safe, there are others.  Bread that says stearoyl lactylate (something like that) is okay.  Only it says milk, butter, lactose do you need to use tablets with it.\n\nIf the pills relieve your problem with dairy products then it is lactose intolerance.  If they do not, then it is something else.\n\nSome people are allergic to wheat gluten or milk or other foods. \n\nBEST ADVICE:  Do not waste time with an ordinary doctor who just wants to make money.   See an ALLERGY specialist.  That way you have someone experienced with allergy symptoms for food allergies looking at you.  Even if it turns out not to be allergies he will be able still to help find out the real cause, such as maybe lactose intolerance, something completely different from allergy.\n\nAny persistent pain is a sign of something going on...You must see a doctor about that, could be NONE OF THE ABOVE.\n\nSee the doctor, sweetie.  The throwing up is mostly a sign of other things.

Cheese is a product made by introducing mold to milk fat, so it is all moldy when you get it.  Blue Cheese has the mold visible when you buy it (It's the blue part), so I guess you could say it "molds the fastest," since it contains visible mold when you buy it.  Sorry, it's not on your list.  Just scrape it off and eat it. That's what I do and it hasn't hurt me at all . . . at all . . . at all . . . at all . . . at all.  Maybe a little drain bamage.

are you lactose intolerant?

yeah@!,\nSTOP EATING LACTOSE BASED PRODUCTS!!\n--this never fails..\n\ndon't u think so??

For me, I get stuffed up when I have certain foods, and I thingk it is something like an allergic reaction. Ice cream and mozzarella cheese are big ones for me in that regard. Maybe you are frequently having something to eat that is mucous forming, like alot of dairy and wheat products are.

If there is a Whole Foods anywhere near you they have an excellent selection.  I'm not allergic to high fructose corn syrup, but I try to avoid it like the plague.  I'm able to do all of my shopping at Whole Foods and not purchase a single item with high fructose in it.  If there is no Whole Foods near you just look for any type of health food store.  Even regular grocery stores normally have some organic or 100% fruit selections that do not have high fructose corn syrup in them.

You may be lactose intolerant.\n\nLactose intolerance is the inability to digest significant amounts of lactose, the predominant sugar of milk. This inability results from a shortage of the enzyme lactase, which is normally produced by the cells that line the small intestine.\n\nFor those who react to very small amounts of lactose or have trouble limiting their intake of foods that contain it, lactase enzymes are available without a prescription to help people digest foods that contain lactose. The tablets are taken with the first bite of dairy food. Lactase enzyme is also available as a liquid. Adding a few drops of the enzyme will convert the lactose in milk or cream, making it more digestible for people with lactose intolerance.\n\nLactose-reduced milk and other products are available at most supermarkets. The milk contains all of the nutrients found in regular milk and remains fresh for about the same length of time, or longer if it is super-pasteurized.
