Cuisine l’Angélique products are organic and specifically formulated for gluten-free and dairy-free diets.
Casein is the main protein in milk whereas lactose is the sugar. Both are found in cow’s milk as well as in goat’s milk.
Lactose intolerance is triggered by a total or partial absence of lactase, the enzyme that promotes lactose digestion before being assimilated or metabolized.
Casein allergy happens when the immune system mistakenly identifies casein as a threat, which triggers a reaction to fight it off. Some authors have found that casein may promote inflammation. This has led them to assert that a casein-free diet may help people with disorders worsened by inflammation, such as autism, fibromyalgia, and arthritis.
An individual may be lactose intolerant without being intolerant or allergic to casein. Also, lactose-free products are not necessarily casein-free.
Certain nutrition and diet authors suggest that a gluten-free and casein-free diet may be beneficial for people suffering from autism, depression and anxiety.
