oops yes, it's lipase. I wasn't thinking clearly.
It was the off smell and mentioning such to another IBCLC who confirmed that it could be lipase. I have seen the kellymom site. I'll have to read it again. Thanks for reminding me.

Welcome back to Lactnet!
Here is a link from kellymom website about this issue
http://www.kellymom.com/bf/pumping/lipase-expressedmilk.html
The problem is a lipase, instead of a lactase problem. Typically the mom notices
an off smell when she thaws frozen milk. What made this mom decide she had
a problem that needed the scalding fix? Maybe she does not need to even do this.
I don't know if this can be done in the microwave, theoretically it could, it might
just be difficult to know exactly when the milk scalds, and not boils.
