Am I allergic to milk do you think.? how can I get tested for that.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
Sounds like a good possibility, lots of people are allergic to milk and dairy products. Milk allergy as a infant can be dangerous and is sometime outgrown but not always, or as adults we develope an intolerance to foods usually because we lack the enzymes to digest the particular proteins.

Do you also have a reaction to yogurt and cottage cheese or ice cream.?

You might try goats milk, it has a smaller fat particules and is easier to digest. If that doesn't work try soy milk. I use Silk, brand, plain and find it very good on cereal, but prefer the vanilla for just drinking, it comes in chocolate too. You might also give accidophilis(sp.?) milk a try, or taking an accidophilis capsules before you drink a glass of regular milk.Health Question & Answer

First of all for the others, lactose intolerance and milk allergy are two different things.

Lactose intolerance is an issue digesting milk sugars. Milk allergy is an issue with the milk protein.

To me it sounds like you are milk allergic. While the tummy issues could be associated with lactose intolerance or a tummy bug, the hot and red face is not. The hot and red face is an allergy issue. It is often the step before hives. You can go to an allergist and get a basic test. Be warned these testes are not 100%. It seems your elimination trial gave you the info you needed.Health Question & Answer

I think you might be allergic to milk.
But I was like that too, and it turned out it was just because I had a stomach ache and the milk was upsetting it.
You should do what I did. I didn't drink milk for about 3,4, or 5 days (I forgot how long). Then I drank it again when my stomach ache was gone, and it's fine now.
If you do what I did and your stomach still hurts, you are most likely lactose tolerate(that means allergics to milk.).
Hope you feel better!

You are lactose intollerant. Try drinking lactose free milk, and see how you feel. You can get tested for a milk allergy by taking a blood test or a scratch test. An Allergist will do it for you. If it is a true milk allergy and not just lactose than you have to switch to soy or rice milk.Health Question & Answer

You could be allergic or maybe lactose intolerant. Milk doesn't do my body well either. You can try that lactose free milk, but I've heard it doesn't taste all that great. I've never tried it. You could also try taking beano or some sort of gas reducer when you drink milk. My physician told me that some ethnic people have trouble digesting milk.Health Question & Answer

I had a blood test done for allergys to food and it showed that I am severly allergic to cows milk. When I drink it I get a headache, all stuffed up and kind of dizzy. I cant eat foods that are made with milk in them as well because I have the same symptoms even from small amounts.

Try soy milk instead. It is great in coffee.Health Question & Answer

you're lactose n tolerant. that's what happened to me. every time i use to drink ordinary milk my stomach hurted really bad and i felt like taking a dump. i bought a lactose free called Lactaid and my stomach stopped hurting with that milk. i recommend you buy lactaid(or some other lactose free milk). hope this helped.Health Question & Answer

You should talk to your doctor, but most likely, you might be allergic to milk and you probably can't digest it very well. I have the same issues with milk, but yours seem worse.

VIVA LA RAZA!Health Question & Answer

Take Lactaid a bit before you consume milk products. That will probably work. It contains enzymes that people who are lactose intolerant (allergic to milk) do not have enough of.Health Question & Answer

call your doctor, tell him your symptoms and he can tell you if you are somewhat lactose-intolerant.
