Bilona Ghee for Lactose Intolerance: Is It Safe to Consume?
On this page
Understanding Lactose and Casein
Lactose is milk sugar, and Casein is milk protein. These are the two components that usually cause digestive distress in dairy-sensitive individuals.
How the Bilona Method Removes Impurities
Unlike modern cream-based ghee, the [traditional Bilona process](/traditional-bilona-method) involves culturing milk into curd. The fermentation process breaks down lactose. Further, the slow-heating process separates any remaining milk solids (casein) from the pure fat.
Laboratory Purity
Standard laboratory tests show that well-made Bilona ghee contains less than 0.1% lactose. For most people with lactose intolerance, this 'trace amount' is practically non-existent.
A2 Beta-Casein Factor
Because Bilonaa uses only A2 cows (like the [Rathi breed](/about)), the proteins are already easier to digest than the A1 proteins found in commercial milk.
A Word of Caution
While Bilona ghee is safe for most lactose-intolerant people, those with a severe dairy allergy should still consult their physician before adding it to their diet.
