Milk allergies are very common and can be difficult to detect. Sometimes milk allergies and lactose intolerance are confused with each other. If you have a milk allergy your immune system is compromised. This is not the case with lactose intolerance. If you suspect you have a milk allergy then it is important to get tested. Testing can confirm a milk allergy.
Milk allergies can have some symptoms similar to lactose intolerance.
These symptoms include:
- bloating
- gas
- diarrhea
- Hives
- Wheezing
- Vomiting
- Loose stools, which may contain blood
- Diarrhea
- Abdominal cramps
- Coughing or wheezing
- Runny nose
- Watery eyes
- Itchy skin rash, often around the mouth
- Colic, in babies
Milk is something that everyone drinks and is difficult to find a substitute for. I am a big milk drinker. I am glad it is not one of my food allergies.
