Answers:
"Goat and Sheep Milk
The definition of dairy is really cows milk, so goats and sheeps milk are not technically dairy products and you may be able to tolerate these and the products made from them like cheese & yogurt. To explain a little, the proteins found in goat and sheeps milk are the same as those found in cows milk but constructed slightly differently. In fact, there is slightly more of these proteins in the sheep and goat milks. This is also true of lactose which is also present in all three milks. Because of these facts, the medical profession and the FSA do not recommend substituting onto another mammal milk.
However there are many many testimonies about those who have tried these alternatives with beneficial results."
Sounds to me like your reaction to goats cheese depends mostly on your own level of lactose intolerance.

No it is not.
Lactose is the sugar in ANY milk from a mammal. Even your own mother's milk. By the time we are 8 years old we lose the ability to digest lactose.
Did you know lactose intollerance is the norm? Those of us who aren't are the odd balls.
There are many wonderful vegan cheeses. Try Follow Your Heart brand. It's really good. Those are lactose free.
No it is not.BUT many people can tolerate it. It has finer molecules & is easier to digest. I can't do it every day but it is a nice treat.
