I am completely lactose intolerant. Last week I ate a biscuit that had butter in it and I was sick for over a week. I am curious about goat's milk and how it might effect me. Has anyone tried it? I used to drink it as a child and never liked the taste. I am so scared of getting sick!
Thanks!

No. I know some people can tolerate goat's milk, but I wouldn't risk it until you're stable. There are a lot of safer dairy alternatives out there -- soy milks, rice milk, almond milk -- that are also enriched. A really good plain soy yogurt is Nancy's Organic. Silk and Whole Soy also have some good fruit yogurts.

Oops, I just saw that you're soy intolerant. Sorry I missed that! Nevermind what I said about the soy yogurts.  I wonder if there are any rice yogurts out there? There is something called amazake, which is fermented rice. I've seen it at my local HFS, sold as a beverage, but I haven't tried it yet.

I thought goats milk had lactose in it too because it is milk .

In my opinion, if you feel that you should "risk" it, it's not worth it because of the "risk" factor. And as mentioned, goat's milk is milk after all so I wouldn't do it.

Butter contains only trace amounts of lactose.
Cow's milk contains about 5% lactose and goat's milk contains about 4% lactose.
I am lactose intolerant I won't drink goat's milk unless I took lactase.

Can you drink lactose free milk or eat lactaid cottage cheese (or even normal dairy) if you take those enzymes? I didn't think they would help.

I take lactase when I eat foods that contain dairy and I have not had problems. I haven't tried lactaid cottage cheese.
Lactase really helps if you are lactose intolerant. It won't help with other dairy sensitivities.

Thank you so much to everyone who responded. I guess I won't be trying goats milk any time soon. Does anyone know where I can find Lactaid cottage cheese? Thanks again to everyone.

Under Heather's guidelines, all dairy is off limits even lactose-free because of problems digesting dairy proteins:

If you want to eat dairy anyhow and just cope with your lactose intolerance, you can try taking Lactaid tablets when eating dairy.
