Everything About Allergy

Milk allergy manifest in the skin, the respiratory system or gastrointestinal tract. It may show as rashes in the skin, or the patient may experience difficulty in breathing and swallowing, vomiting or constipation.

Milk allergy and lactose intolerance are not at all related. Milk allergy occurs as an immune system reaction to milk proteins which does not manifest in non-allergic persons. Lactose intolerance, on the other hand, is a hypersensitivity that comes from a lack of lactase, an enzyme that is needed to digest sugar in milk. Usually, lactose intolerance occurs when a person took in too much milk, however, allergic patients show symptoms of allergy even if the amount of milk taken in is minimal.
