for lactose perspective. soft cheese Is higher in lactose- is concentrated
hard cheese lactose is broken down
pasteurization kills enzymes and makes dairy hard to digest. If introducing, it’s suggested to start with testing unflavoured, organic keifer or yogurt. Opt for hard/ aged cheese over soft cheese. Goats dairy is also easier to digest than cow’s. Butter is often well tolerated and can be introduce before other dairy. Grass- fed, organic is preferred.
