Organic milk is not the same as unpastuerized milk. I am not sure what benefit the doctor thinks is in raw milk, that is not in organic milk.

We did use unpastuerized milk a few decades ago, straight from the tank, and we did OK, altho, it did make me nervous to some extent. I would often pasteurize it myself and, I knew where it came from. I would feel a lot less squeamish if it were my cow or goat and I was the one washing the udder, and knew what I was washing it with and how well it was being washed, and the cleanliness of the container that it is being placed into. Never the less, 'germs' are unseened and unsmelled and you don't know until too late.

I would be really careful as their are a lot of diseases that COULD be in raw milk and an immunocompromised person is very susceptible.

It appears that Texas certifies goat milk and below is a provider's website, however, note even they state raw milk can be a problem for immunocompromised people.

You can get live lactobaccillus from yogurt, which you can buy as an organic product. You can also make yogurt at home.

Back in the good old days, (remember I grow and can a lot of my food), but back in the good old days a lot of folks got sick and died from food borne illness.

Just be careful. Glad you are feeling better.
