Autism and Milk

[Debs75]

I have just read an article on five news news.five.tv/news.php?news=1275here suggesting the usual milk we get is bad for autism but guernsey milk is different.
My son does drink a fair amount of milk so might give it a try, if i can get some.

What do other mumsa/dads of autism think?

Think i got the link wrong if so try channel five news

Just read throughthe full article and links and it gives some other alternatives such as human milk, sheep, goat and buffalo milk.

I've been wondering about this Debs, was going to trial soya milk for a week. I've found out ds is requesting and drinking lots of milk while at nursery so need to also switch it there..

It has something to do with betacasein A2 is what they think works

There was a thread about 5-6 days ago - can't find it. Have tried tesco and asda. Both have goats, soya and channel island milk but no 'a2' milk that I can see.

My son and daughter are free from gluten dairy and soya. Also "artificials", which send my daughter into a tizz of hyperactivity. Son used to get ear infections every time I tried to introduce cow's milk - took me some time to make the connection. They are both hugely improved - she was never very bad anyway, but he no longer gets sick all the time and his ADOS score has jumped from borderline full blown autism to borderline "normal" - although he is definitely aspergers.

They said Sainsbury's did a channel island milk that was just guernsey but now it is a mix of jersey and guernsey.
It is weird how dairy can have such an effect until you remember that we are the only species which drinks another species milk
