羊奶不建議當成牛奶過敏者的替代食物
根據American Academy of Pediatrics （美國兒科醫學會）的建議，有牛奶過敏的小孩大多也對羊奶過敏，所以如果家長是因為孩子對牛奶過敏，換成羊奶而不過敏的機會是不高的。
另外值得注意的是，羊奶中的亞麻油酸含量比牛奶高，而亞麻油酸屬於ω-6系列的脂肪酸，已知可能促進與發炎過敏相關的第二類前列腺素、白三烯素等生成。
羊奶是可作為日常飲用的乳品選擇之一，但不應該是為了避免過敏而選。
對於孩子而言，最好的方式還是餵母奶，因為6個月以內的小朋友腸黏膜還不成熟，細胞間縫隙比較大，奶蛋白可能被吸收，不管是牛奶還是羊奶都是非人類的異種奶蛋白、過敏機會高，所以還是喝母乳比較好。
原文如下：
If your child has been diagnosed with cow’s milk allergy and you are looking for an alternative to cow’s milk formula to feed your baby (or cow’s milk for a child older than one year), you may wonder whether goat’s milk is a good substitute. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), “Most children with cow’s milk allergy are also allergic to milk from goats or sheep, so these are not good substitutes.”
In order to explain why, it’s important to first understand milk allergies. A milk allergy is a reaction between the immune system’s antibodies and the proteins (whey and/or casein) found in milk or cow’s milk formula, causing symptoms such as rashes, vomiting and/or diarrhea. A true milk protein allergy usually appears in the first year of life, when an infant’s digestive system is still quite immature. A person with cow’s milk protein allergy is very likely to also have an allergic reaction to the protein in sheep or goat’s milk because the immune system sees the proteins as similar.
