Allergy, Individual Marker, Milk

Milk allergy is an abnormal reaction of the immune system products containing milk or milk itself. The blood test includes an evaluation of the body’s sensitization to the proteins present in cow milk. The test detects antibodies called IgE. A milk allergy is not the same as intolerance for protein or lactose content. An intolerance does not imply a response of the immune system.

But the common symptoms might include wheezing, hives, itching, swelling, and vomiting. These symptoms, when left untreated, are likely to develop some other serious health problems, including more allergies or even hay fever. There is no sure way to avoid milk allergy. You can prevent reactions by avoiding all products containing milk.
