Hi Linda,

My understanding, is that the reason cheese etc is recommended over straight 
cows milk is due to the reduced *lactose*.  Therefore it is actually a 
recommendation for lactose intolerance NOT cows milk protein intolerance. 
This is so often confused though, that I do hear that people have been told 
this for CMPI.

HOWEVER, I don't remember where I heard this.  I am going to need this info 
in the next week or so, so I will get back to you if I find more info.

If you find more substantial information, I'd love to have a copy.
Thanks
Suzie
