    From what I've been told and read, goat's milk protein is very similar to cow's milk protein and many times has a similar reaction.  I wouldn't risk it.

    only 10% of people that are allergic to cows milk can tolerate goats milk, says my allergist. Jacob got the same reaction from both, so i would definitely not do goats cheese.

    I'm allergic to cow's milk, but not to sheep or goat.  However, I was tested for all three so I know that it's ok.  If he hasn't been tested, I'd be very careful!

    Don't do goat cheese!  I just took my LO to a dietitian to work on some foods he can eat and she said goat products are a big no-no with dairy allergies.  They have very similar protein makeups.  If your LO hasn't been tested for it, then stay away from it!
