(1,455 posts)But, I have been drinking raw millk since late 1981. We also had raw milk when we had our own family cow during the 50's. My younger brother would ingest nothing else for several months. The only time that I have had intestinal problems was when I went on Omeprezol for my heartburn. My theory is that the omeprezol stops the acid in the stomach and therefore allows germs/bacteria that would normally be killed by the stomach acid to go on through the gut. No scientific evidence, just my own feelings. I just got told that I can no longer get the raw milk from the local farmer. That fucking sucks. I don't like the flavor of pasteurized (bastardized) milk. It is way too sweet tasting. We had goats from 1981 til 1999 and then cow raw milk since then. Bastardization kills off the very enzymes needed to digest the milk. Oh, and I'm in my late 60's and in pretty darn good health.
