One of the possible symptoms of a milk allergy is wheezing. This refers to a high-pitched whistling sound that occurs when breathing. It's often noticeable when the person exhales and indicates that the airways are narrowing or filled with mucus. Wheezing might be accompanied by difficulty in breathing.
People allergic to milk can experience vomiting after milk consumption. This is a body's direct response to remove the allergen. Vomiting can be forceful and repeated, leading to dehydration if not properly managed.
Hives, or urticarial, are another symptom of milk allergy. They are a rash of red, itchy welts of varying sizes that come up suddenly and can appear anywhere on the body. They often appear as the body's immune response to allergens.
Anaphylaxis is a severe and potentially life-threatening allergic reaction. In those with milk allergies, ingesting milk products could trigger this response. Symptoms can include, but are not limited to, difficulty in breathing, loss of consciousness, a drop in blood pressure, or a fast, weak pulse.
Abdominal cramps can be experienced by people with milk allergies. The painful squeezing sensation in the belly may occur minutes to hours after consumption of milk or milk products. This is due to the digestive system's response to the perceived harmful substance.
Diarrhea is another possible symptom of milk allergy. This involves having loose, watery stools frequently, shortly after consuming milk. This is the body's method of getting rid of the allergen.
Recognize your symptoms?
In order to recognize if you have a milk allergy, you need to be aware of the typical symptoms that can occur after consuming milk or milk products. It's crucial to note that a milk allergy differs from lactose intolerance, as it's an actual allergic reaction to proteins found in milk and not just an inability to digest lactose.

Observe Severe Allergic Reactions (Anaphylaxis)
It's important to remember that having a milk allergy means that you need to avoid all foods and products containing milk proteins, not just milk itself. If you notice these symptoms, consult with a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

Am I eligible?
Carefully study and understand food labels. Products labeled lactose-free are not necessarily milk-free. Always look for 'milk' in the list of allergens. Also check words like casein, lactose, lactalbumin, ghee which are all milk products.
Even a small amount of milk can cause a reaction. Ensure your food isn't contaminated with milk during processing or preparation. For example, a toaster used for cheese toast may have traces of milk which can cause allergy.
Work with a dietitian or a healthcare provider familiar with food allergies. They can provide you with more personal guidance based on your health situation. Also consider carrying an epinephrine autoinjector in case of a severe reaction.
When eating out or at friends' or family's homes, always make your allergy known. Check with the chef or the host if the food contains any dairy ingredients or traces. This can help prevent accidental consumption of dairy products.
