i've been told that even though i'm lactose intolerent i might still be able to drink raw milk, is that true? I'm so afraid to try just incase raw milk doesn't work. Has anyone else had this experience?

Raw milk has just as much lactose as regular milk. So I don't know how that is supposed to help. There is a brand of lactose free organic milk (organic valley) that I buy at Whole Foods.

Raw milk contains the lactase enzyme that digests lactose the milk sugar. I've met a lot of people IRL that can do raw milk and raw cheese that are "lactose intolerant".... which btw means your gut flora is off and therefore you are not producing the lactase yourself. I'd recommend homemade yogurt/kefir.

Some folks who think they are lactose intolerant really have an issue with casien.

So if the raw does not cut it, I would look at cutting out the dairy completely.
