Raw Milk Diet
Raw milk diets have been used since the 1900’s by medical doctors at the Mayo Clinic to cure a wide variety of illnesses from diabetes to colitis.
In this podcast, I talk to Jim Ehmke CN, in the middle of my experiment with a Raw Milk Diet. Jim Ehmke has extensive experience using raw (unpasteurized) milk as a healing tool, so he has some great advice for me and a few interesting stories to tell too.

What if you are allergic to cow’s milk and other types of milk make you congested?
Thank you,
Cecile
Dear Jini,
I am still having the chronic diarrhea, however I have noticed when useing your sample pac of Absorb (Chocolate) I improved for a couple of days.
As Christmas is upon us I cannot afford to buy any just now, however I am awaiting you having a special price on the large Absorb, as I have to pay for the postage from America to Australia, can you tell me the best way to order enough to last me through.
I have purchased your Listen to yur Gut book, and find it most helpful I was able to purchase the Wild Oregano Oil in Australia, but it does cost me a lot in postage to get it here, that is why I am awaiting a special discount on the Absorb.
Kind regards,
and Merry Xmas, you have a wonderful site for us Crohnies.

Cecile – have you tried RAW cow’s milk though, or RAW goat’s milk? Nobody should drink pasteurized milk, but raw milk has a completely different effect on the gut, so you won’t know until you try it. Start with small amounts, only 1/4 cup per day and gradually work up.
Carmen – you could try supplementing with just L-glutamine as that is likely to help your diarrhea and should be available locally – follow the direction in the LTYG book in the Diarrhea section. And when you buy wild oregano, buy 5 bottles as once as the shipping will not be much more than 1 bottle – you can always get a quote first and find out at what weight/or how many products you can order before the shipping increases. You can do the same thing with the shipping for Absorb Plus – email Justin ( service (at) holistichealthshoppe.com ) and find out what the shipping would cost for 5 tubs, 10 tubs, 15 tubs or 20 tubs, then make your decision.
Where can one get raw goats milk?
I live in California, do you know where I can get raw goats milk? Also how do I know whether it is safe raw milk?

Dear Jini,
I have tried 8 times to order the special on Absorb for $14.95 plus the IBD remission book, and I am unable to log in and put my order through. I have had countless emails from both Justin and Daniel about this. I have tried so many times, I have given up now.
Kind regards,
Carmen
Hi Carmen – if you’re having technical difficulties online, why don’t you just order over the phone? Call 1-888-866-7745 or 1.360.384.8632 leave your name and number and my husband Ian (or Justin) will call you back and take your order in person.
take care,
Jini
Hi Jini,
It is difficult for me to ring America from Australia.
However my number is 075xxxxxxxx, if you would like to ring me.
Kind regards,

so even if a person has had casein and lactose intolerance before they can tolerate raw milk and not have chronic diarrhea?
hi again, i am asking for my 9 year old daughter who has colitis symptoms, but has had weight loss, and needs to gain weight asap
Lactose-intolerant people are often fine with raw milk since it naturally contains lactase – the enzyme needed to digest lactose (which is destroyed by pasteurization). However, with the casein, it’s had to know since the proteins in pasteurized milk have been denatured (by the high heat), so she may tolerate the casein in raw milk, or she may not. The only way is to test it and see.
If she doesn’t, then Absorb Plus is a better option since it does not contain casein nor lactose:

Jini,
Thank you for your reply to my question on the raw milk diet. I developed Crohn’s late in life and appear to have a mild case.
However, I am glad to know of your resources.
Thanks again,
Cecile
