Husbands Leg

Breastmilk therapy is mainly used as cancer and HIV treatments... not for circulation issues, broken bones or lactose intolerance in adults. A donor bank will not give the milk to you because it is for newborns who need it - and the treatments used for HIV and cancer... that is GROWN from animals that are genetically altered udders to produce human breastmilk and I'm sure that is way to expensive to even consider.

His injury should not have caused lactose intolerance... he should go to the Doctor or a specialist.

I'm lactose intolerant. The intolerance did not show up until I was well into adulthood. I suggest that the leg injury and the appearance of lactose intolerance is purely coincidental.

I've never heard of breast milk therapy for an illness or injury. I doubt that breast milk will help his leg. There is no connection between a leg injury and digestion. No connection between digestion and bones/circulation. There is a connection between calcium consumption and bone strength. He can get calcium, which may strengthen his bones, from supplements or fortified milk substitute drinks. I love rice milk which does contain calcium and Vit D.

Circulation is thru blood vessels. I suspect he has poor circulation because vessels have been constricted or destroyed. Breast milk will not repair or replace blood vessels. There is no way to replace massive destroyed circulation. The body will reroute around some destroyed vessels and I suggest that is why your husband still has his leg. But again, digestion of breast milk does not assist in making vessels.

Your doctor can be more technical in giving you an explanation. I urge you to talk with a doctor and ask this question.

Breast milk was designed to nourish growing babies, not grown men. It is not magic and will not heal him. He needs to take a good calcium supplement and find types of "milk" drinks he can handle, I know my son loves Almond milk.

I am not sure on the whole Breast milk thing sorry, but if regular milk upsets his stomach then he can drink Lactose free, or Soy. There are many out there that will not upset his stomach.

If you are worried about him getting enough calcium then he can always take an extra calcium vitamin too.

Talk to his doctor and see what they have to say about it.

Not sure if you are saying he has always been lactose intolerant or you think it started when this whole leg injury happened. One can become more sensitive to something over the years or they can always have the issue. Either way breast milk morethenlikely will have lactose in it too. I had to stop breast feeding my daughter because she was so sensitve to lactose and I could not cut out all dairy from my diet, she had to go on lactose free formula.

As others mothers mentioned the breastmilk banks will only give it out to babies who needs it. This is done through doctors and much paperwork to make sure it gets to those who need it the most.

For the bones/circulation I would look into supplements with calcium to help strengthen the bones. The whole breaking a toe, many break bones who have strong bones so taking a supplement is not going to prevent it 100%. For the circulation there are different movements/therapy that can be done to help circulation as well as supplements. I would talk to a doctor about alternate medicines like supplements and other things you can do to help with the circulation.

I am also lactose intolerant, but it did not happen until I was an adult. I think it was a coincidence that it happened at the same time as the leg injury.

Your husband should be able to eat yogurt and he can always take calcium pills.

What has his doctor said or suggested? That is the person that will know his history and really be able to make some suggestions..

FYI, if you think it is cancer, do not mess around with that and have it checked out.
