Raw Whole Goat Milk Gives Me the Poops?

[Egg_Newton]

I'm not lactose intolerant. And I've always drank skim or 2% from the store. I've been drinking it for about two weeks now and its only when I drink a cup quickly. Its not ummm "scours" just a sudden urge to go. Anyone else experience this. As far as I know. No one else in my family is having this issue.

Raw Goat's milk is a whole food and is filled with beneficial gut flora, Lactose intolerance has nothing to do with what you're going through, IMHO. Depending on my goat's production, I will be going on a raw goat's milk diet for a couple weeks or longer, depending how I feel. But then, I'm a little crazy.

Sorry for the detail request, but is it like: Chug glass of milk > Sudden Urge to go OR Chug glass of Milk > Do something > do a little more > OMG bathroom? Is this your first time drinking raw goat's milk? Raw goats milk is processed differently and more quickly than cow's milk, which may be why this seems strange. Raw cows milk is 18-24 hours to process through your body, and raw goats milk is a mere 20minutes - 2 hours depending on your digestive efficiency (since we're sharing, I'm on the sluggish side).

I found, even when on Raw cows milk, I was more 'frequent' and 'regular' after several days. The texture also changed noticeably. Sorry, details for details as it's really the only way to answer this question

My raw goat milk gives me the poops too! I swear it makes me more regular. It is like drinking a Kombucha. It isn't just you!

Have you had your milk tested?

 

[Egg_Newton]

I haven't had it tested. I've been drinking it for a couple weeks now and my body seems to adjusting. I can drink it now without any problems.

Maybe it was helping to get the "ucky" out of your system- like a flush-no pun intended.
