Milk allergy is the reaction of the body’s immune system to the presence of milk protein of which there are over thirty found in milk. The effect will be tissue formation in the digestive tract, the skin causing eczema, or in the respiratory tract leading to asthma and bronchitis.

Milk allergy is different from lactose intolerance, although they sometimes present with similar symptoms. Milk allergy is the reaction of the body’s immune system to the presence of milk protein of which there are over thirty found in milk. Most people with a milk allergy will be sensitive to more than one of these proteins.

The effect will be tissue formation in the digestive tract, the skin causing eczema, or in the respiratory tract leading to asthma and bronchitis. They will react to even very small amount.

Many individuals of all ages develop an allergy as well as an intolerance to milk and milk products. The reaction may occur when a person is sick) e.g with infection, alcoholism, surgery, or trauma); thus, dietitians and nurses should always check to see whether a patient can tolerate milk. If the intolerance is due to a reduced activity of lactase, proper dietary therapy can be implanted.

Someone allergic to milk must also avoid many foods containing milk products. Ingesting regular homogenized fresh milk can damage the digestive mucosa of some susceptible individuals, especially children.  The damaged cells bleed continuously but only minute amounts of blood are lost. The result is occult blood loss.

Breast milk is much preferred over cow’s milk for babies in order to avoid milk allergy in babies in a family whose members have allergies.  Cow’s milk contains the protein beta-lactoglobulin, which may trigger an allergic reaction, while breatsmilk does not.

If an infant has symptoms of milk allergy, special formulas with soy or another protein sources as a base can be safely substituted for milk.

Milk allergy tests or diagnosis

Milk allergy diagnosis mainly include detailed investigations for sign and symptoms, physical examination, history of diet, elimination diet and studying symptoms. Milk allergy tests mainly include skin tests and blood tests.

  • I am so happy to know that someone recognises milk allergy.
    My 8 year old son has milk allergy as an infant. He has no reaction to breast milk. But reacts to cows milk or buffalo milk. He reacts strongly to goats milk as well
    He reacts to even the smallest drop of milk, even on touch.

    This write up gives me so much hope.

    • I can understand how you feel that your son cant take milk, my son and husband sneeze profusely after having any milk products. Its amazing to see how homeopathy can really help in this connection

      • Yvonne Siblini I’d also try organic milk or better yet organic goats milk for the sneezing
        members of your family. All the best of luck to you both.

    • My son also has severe cow milk and dust allergy. He was diagnized at 6 months of age. He is 5 yrs old now. Iam happy to hear that there is cure for this. I will try homeo as advised. Thanks all for this post.

  • Sir, my son Dev Chhajed age 7 years of age is very highly allergic to milk. When he was 3 year old if by mistake he touches milk he got red patches and itching on that area. We tried goat milk also but same result. He was not allergic to his mother’smilk. We tried homeopathic treatment from a local homeopath for 2 years approx, his allergic reaction subsided a little but his height stopped increasing and got warts on his face so we stopped the treatment and warts were gone and now his height is also increasing. As we avoid all milk and milk products now, but sometimes by mistake if he consumes any product with traces of milk as uncle chips, dark chocolate with no milk in description its written may contain traces. In that case also he devlops stomach ache and starts crying.
    Sir I am always tensed for him as all allery problems are because of immune deficiency. I would be very thankful if you could help me.
    Waiting for your valuable response.

    Kind Regards
    Shreyansh Chhajed
