People should only try this milk if they have a milk intolerance and not an allergy. It does state this on the frequently asked questions but not everybody will look at those of course.

yes, very true - their website does say this but sure a lot of their advertising wont (or people will forget).  Am going to try it myself when I can buy some (nowhere that near sells it yet) and let you know - cold cows milk is the only dairy I can't tolerate ....

Just thought I'd let u know ( even tho I am in Australia) that ds2 can drink a2, has 2 cups a day plus milk on cereal. Even 1 oz of regular milk still gets a reaction within 24 hrs. He was
 Mspi and on neocate, went on a2 at 18 mths. good luck x

ooh, I'm interested in this too!!  My DD is MSPI - is it definitely safe for her - I can't quite tell if I should be confident in giving it her or not  :-\?!!

I still haven't found any yet, but we're off to the big Tesco on Saturday so will look then  :)

DH has agreed to be guinea pig for this - if he is ok on it then I'll try some on DS  ;D

Morrisons stock it in Cumbria and being the 'frozen north' or the equiv of the outback, it should be available elsewhere. I'm only trialling it with my son because his symptoms aren't too drastic. I only know that he is mspi and don't know anymore detail as to which protein he can't tolerate etc.

Got some at Tesco yesterday  :D

DH drank a glass of it, spent the next few hours complaining (of course it'll taste funny and make your tummy feel odd, you've not had any for 2 years DH  ::)) but apart from that has been ok. This morning he said his poop was a bit softer than usual, but he's had no expolosions  ;D

Gave DS 4oz of the stuff with breakfast, so far so good. If he's going to explode it'll be this evening...

Keeping everything crossed that we can now use this stuff for cooking and that DS will be ok on it  :)
