a2 milk.... Good, bad or no effect?????

shazfun

hi,

I have a 15yr old son who was diagnosed with aspergers and sensory processing disorder 18mths ago. I have spent a lot of time researching natural support for him rather than medication.... I have heard that there is positive results for ppl who switch to a2 milk, and would be interested in trying it with our son... we did try reducing dairy products but he cannot take the consistancy of soya milk products.....

we live in NI and can'tfind the a2 milk anywhere.... even tesco.... 

Have u any advice on either the benefits of a2 milk or where it can be purchased in NI????? 

xxxxxxxx

  • Hi Shazfun.

    I work for A2 Milk UK.  As you say milk in high in a2 beta-casein is being recommended to try for those ASD by some health care professionals.  As with the GFCF diet, it may not work for everyone.  The EFSA report as quoted by Alex gives a good critique of the science behind A2/A1 beta casein but itself was controversial in it's findings.  I'd be happy to share any research discussions. 

    However, I'm sorry but a2 is not available in Northern Ireland yet.Frown
