To each their own
I found out that camel milk is a good substitute if you're lactose intolerant. It doesn't contain beta-lactoglobulin, which is the protein found in cow's milk that causes allergic reactions. It's easier to drink because it only contains 2% fat and also gives other digestive health benefits.
It would be cool if somebody could provide stats on lactose intolerance in Somalis.
I think you got lactose intolerance and milk allergies mixed up.
Lactose intolerance is due to the body not being able to digest the milk sugar lactose, whilst milk allergy is the immune system being triggered due to a compound found in milk.
