Now I Am Totally Confused

[BamBam]

I understood that if I am casein intolerant, I have to give up all dairy products including milk, cheese, yogurt etc?

I'm reading in places where people state they are casein intolerant but not lactose intolerant. How can that be? I understand to believe that if you are casein intolerant, there is no dairy whatsoever in the diet.

I believe the people who have posted that they are casein intolerant and not lactose intolerant were just pointing out that they are two seperate conditions. You can be casein intolerant and not have lactose intolerance...but of course you still cant eat dairy. You can have lactose intolerance and not be casein intolerant in which case you could eat dairy again when the villi are healed.

Or, in my case, I believe I'm casein intolerant, but not particularly lactose intolerant, so the lactose binder in my medications doesn't bother me (and there isn't enough of a chance of significant casein contamination from pharmaceutical grade lactose for me to worry about that).
