i am attempting to overcome a dairy allergy...it was recommended that I only use mascarpone, ricotta or parmigiano reggano....what characteristics do these cheeses have that make them more tolerable?

well if you only eat those three it eliminates all the others....and these three are also very low in carbs, if you're lactose intolerant. – thhq Sep 5 at 22:39

Mascarpone and ricotta, both fresh cheeses, are high in whey and lactose and low in casein. Parmesan, a hard cheese, is high in casein and low in whey and lactose. About the only thing I can think of that they have in common is that they are usually made from cow's milk (but mascarpone and ricotta can be made from sheep or goat's milk). What sort of dairy intolerance do you have?

Weird. I was going to guess low lactose but only the parmesan fits that category because it's a hard cheese. Maybe lower casein? Is it even possible to overcome a dairy allergy - who recommended this to you?

a holistic health practitioner i am going to work with....i dont think i have lactose intolerance, however, when i drink milk, even raw milk, i experience tightening of the throat and chest...im guessing its the casein content? – michael Sep 5 at 22:54

I hope that health practicioner comes well-recommended. I have consulted many, many alternative health types for my IBS and often found they knew far less about food, digestion etc than I did. My last naturopath even admitted it flat-out. – Renee Sep 6 at 0:29
