This is a common allergic reaction symptom. The individual may feel a sense of discomfort as their throat or other areas of the face start to swell. It could impede breathing and thus needs immediate medical attention.
One of the initial symptoms may be itchiness, redness or hives appearing on the skin. Urticaria, a kind of skin reaction featuring itchy bumps, can emerge. Sometimes, eczema may worsen in people who already suffer from it.
People with a butter allergy may experience gastrointestinal symptoms. They may experience abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, cramps, vomiting or nausea after consuming butter.
Upon consuming butter, individuals with a butter allergy may also experience respiratory symptoms such as a congested or runny nose. Sneezing and a sensation of an irritated throat are frequently associated.
Butter allergy could also induce asthma-like symptoms in some individuals. This can include wheezing or difficulty in breathing, and should be treated as a medical emergency.
In severe cases, a butter allergy can lead to anaphylaxis. Symptoms include rapid pulse, severe shortness of breath, dizziness, or loss of consciousness. Anaphylaxis is life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention.
Recognize your symptoms?
Know the Ingredients Present in Butter
First, it's important to recognize that butter primarily contains milk protein, such as casein and whey, and fat. So, when a person is allergic to butter, they are more likely allergic to the proteins found in milk.
Identify Common Food Allergy Symptoms
Monitor Your Symptoms After Eating Butter
If you suspect a butter allergy, closely observe the symptoms you experience after eating butter or foods containing butter. Are your symptoms coming up only after eating butter? This could be a sign of a specific butter allergy.
Seek Medical Help
If you have noticed symptoms correlating with the consumption of butter, consult a medical professional. They can perform tests, like a skin prick test or a blood test, to check for specific antibodies, confirming whether you're allergic to butter or not.
Consider an Elimination Diet
Your healthcare provider may suggest an elimination diet where you stop eating all dairy products including butter. If your symptoms improve, then butter or milk products might be the cause. This should only be done under supervision of a health professional.

Am I eligible?
Firstly, confirm with a healthcare professional or allergist that you actually have a butter allergy. Understand the symptoms and issues you may face if you can't manage to avoid your allergen effectively.
Check the labels of any pre-packaged food you purchase. It should be explicitly stated if butter has been used as an ingredient. Remember, even some non-dairy products may contain milk proteins which can trigger a butter allergy.
Explore alternatives to butter in your diet. Options such as margarine, olive oil, or coconut oil may be possible alternatives. Always check with an allergist before incorporating substitutions into your diet, to ensure they are safe for you.
It's essential to let your friends, family, colleagues know about your allergy. This will help avoid situations where you might be unknowingly exposed to butter, such as during meals at a friend's house or restaurant outings.
