milk allergy

[Guest guest]

I showed up negative to both blood and prick tests for a dairy allergy,

but I'm almost certain I have one. I was allergic to milk as a baby and

when I have too much dairy I throw up. But, is dairy allergy the same

thing or not as lactose intolerance? Anyone?

Lactose intolerance is not a milk allergy; it's the reduced ability to

digest lactose effectively.

BUT the bacteria growing in your gut reduce lactoce intolerance by

digesting it themselves. Indeed, the research shows reduced lactose

intolerance in response to using inulin.

right you are, duncan. since i started with the inulin, my stomach

handles yogurt a lot better than it used to.

Hi ,

It's actually sort of a different form. My husband is lactose intolerant,

when he drinks milk or overindulges in milk products i.e. cheese, he has

terrible cramping. My son has a low level milk allergy which causes his body

to produce excess mucous in his lungs and affects his recovery ability. Full

on milk allergy responds with a more common food allergy response sometimes

respiratory, anaphylactic shock, or abrupt nausea and vomiting.

Kim,

I can't really give you any advise on how to eat the offending food and NOT get

sick. I can only tell you that I too have experienced an intolerance to lactose

since my hypo developed full-force 4 years ago. I had been diagnosed hypo long

before that but was unmedicated and when my symptoms suddenly seemed to get very

bad after a pregnancy 4 years ago - I could not convince any dr. to treat me

with normal TSH, despite horrible symptoms. Since then I have been diagnosed

Hashi's with high antibody levels and have taken my health into my own hands and

am now exploring natural replacement hormones (Naturethroid, etc) having had no

luck with the traditional medicine route.

I have always had a mild sensitivity to milk products but only in the last 4

years developed a bad intolerance to what seems to be the higher fat milk

products like ice cream, sour cream, cream cheese, lots of cheese on a pizza,

for example. I can drink a glass of skim milk or have some on cereal without

feeling sick, however. I usually will get bad diarrhea within 15 minutes or so

or feel somewhat sick to my stomach (but I haven't vomited...thank God.)

I was recently told by my new alternative dr. that there are almost always

gastro-intestinal issues, allergies and sensitivities in thyroid patients.

The only thing I can say is avoid it or keep a big supply of lactaid around when

you want to have a taste.

Sorry you've felt so bad lately. I can identify and I bet many others can too.

milk alergy

Anyone have milk alergies? I have been thinking my ibs symptoms are milk

related (i know that they are not completely milk related tho so maybe im not

alergic just alergic to everything ).. anyway so I ahve been eliminating milk

this week..and on monday last... I was feeling sorry for myself cuz i felt so

sick and had ice cream and two hours later was bathroom HECK.. vmiting (i am

chronic nausea but never throw up cuz nm)... and shaking and diareah and all

that... next day I was hurting that night went to the ER.. so anyway.. last

night saturday I was feeling really depressed and craving again and i had a

burger king chocolate pie watched a movie then tried to lay down more flat and

got dead sick again.. vomiting for hours exhausted and diareah.... sucks cuz i

am just too darned tired to even go to the bathroom.. anyway it was very ugly..

praying to god and all that.

Do you think that by me eliminating milk this week maybe me really hmmm

susceptible to it? I did take lactaid pills everytime I ate the milk and have

been taking them for a few weeks now without any vomiting.

any ideas?

Our two youngest kids and I can not have any trace of dairy. WE have been dairy

free for a while. Any vitamins we should take since we do not have diary.Give

kids greenwise soy milk and vegan soy cheese. We read all labels we buy so now

we know what we can buy and what  we can not buy.

any suggestions/ advice would be appreciated.

thank you
