Do most or all of you use iodine as an antiseptic? I know that in big commercial milking they do. You see, I'm trying to figure out how I can get some iodine free milk. Reason being that I have celiac disease in the rash form. Iodine is needed to create the chemical reaction to the gluten antibodies in my skin which makes the rash break out. Now, we can't live without iodine so going iodine free is impossible. But there are times when I need to limit my intake of iodine. Among the foods high in iodine are milk & soft cheeses, butter etc.... because of the use of the iodine as a cleaning agent.
I guess, in short, I'm asking if this is common among small farms? Is it possible I could find a local, small dairy outfit where I could buy milk? Because I LOVE my dairy!
I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown
