Sheeps milk
Sheep's milk intolerance is a condition where the body struggles to digest sheep's milk, leading to gastrointestinal symptoms. This intolerance is different from a sheep's milk allergy, which involves an immune system response and can cause more severe reactions. People with sheep's milk intolerance typically experience digestive discomfort after consuming sheep's milk or its products....
Description
Sheep’s milk intolerance involves the digestive system’s inability to properly digest lactose found in sheep’s milk, resulting in discomfort and a range of symptoms. This condition is a non-immune response, in contrast to a sheep’s milk allergy, which is an immune reaction to proteins in sheep’s milk, potentially causing severe symptoms like hives, swelling, or anaphylaxis. Sheep’s milk intolerance generally leads to milder, primarily digestive-focused symptoms and does not involve the immune system.
- Bloating and gas
- Diarrhea
- Stomach cramps and pain
- Nausea
- Flatulence
- Headaches
If you consistently experience digestive issues such as bloating, stomach cramps, or diarrhea after consuming sheep’s milk or products containing sheep’s milk, it may be wise to consider a test for sheep’s milk intolerance. This is especially important if these symptoms consistently disrupt your daily life or if the exact cause of your discomfort is not apparent, as it could suggest other dietary intolerances or health conditions.
Managing sheep’s milk intolerance involves avoiding or limiting sheep’s milk and its products in your diet. It’s important to read food labels, as sheep’s milk can be found in cheeses, yogurts, and other dairy products. Seek alternative dairy-free options like almond, soy, or oat milk. For nutrients provided by sheep’s milk, like calcium and vitamins, ensure to include other sources in your diet. Consulting with a dietitian can help in creating a balanced diet plan while avoiding sheep’s milk. Keeping a food diary can also be beneficial in identifying any other potential food intolerances and monitoring dietary adjustments.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.
