If gluten can pass through the mother's breast milk to the infant and pesticides and growth hormones can pass through cows milk to the human, could gluten in the cows grain diet pass through the milk to the human?

If you are gluten intolerant and have eliminated it, but you enjoy a substantial amount of "dairy" could you experience an ongoing hit of gluten through your dairy consumption without even knowing it? Would it process differently in your body- yet still presenting as a neurological symptom?

AND,... Is it possible that dairy products from grass fed cows would have a different effect on people? Could grass-feed vs grain feed have any bearing on the affects of casein- or better yet, on the chemical make-up of casein?

I'm wondering if grass fed dairy cows produce a different chemical makeup of milk, one that is tolerated by the neurologically-affected, seemingly, dairy-intolerant person.

On the flip side for years I drank and ate milk products that had probiotics in them. I had no known ill effect from dairy. Apart from cottage cheese (with pro-biotics), the standard cheeses I ate (meunster, monterey jack and lorraine swiss) did not have the probiotics in them, but I ate very little of these cheeses and none of any other cheeses,... until 4 weeks ago when some incredibly-delicious, new-to-me, brand of muenster cheese jumped into my grocery cart. We've been chowing that down and buying it like there was no tomorrow. Pig-city on my part, I will admit. Then whammy- dairy intolerant- or dairy intolerant that I was finally aware of.

I'll reach for anything that will permit dairy back into my diet. I miss my bowl of cottage cheese for breakfast that I have had every morning for more than 20 years. Withdrawl is the pits.
