If you have a milk allergy, it probably doesn’t surprise you that it’s one of the more complex common food allergies.
While there are 25 milk proteins (yes, you read that right!), only a handful have been shown to trigger antibody production against them.
Now, remember that a milk protein allergy (or dairy allergy) is different from being lactose intolerant. Lactose intolerance is considered a non-allergic reaction to milk products that can lead to uncomfortable GI symptoms like bloating, gas, and diarrhea.
Anaphylactic milk allergy symptoms include hives, swelling, coughing, wheezing, nausea, and vomiting, and these usually manifest shortly after you eat the food containing dairy.
BUT this is where it gets confusing.
There are several non-IgE-mediated milk allergy symptoms that affect the gastrointestinal tract. These reactions are immune-mediated…which can make it really difficult to differentiate between lactose intolerance and a true milk products allergy.
Dr. Stacy Silvers returns to the podcast to clear up some confusion surrounding the complexity of dairy milk protein allergy. He’s a board-certified allergist specializing in environmental and food allergy diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. And he oversees the allergy program and protocols, and also leads the food allergy and oral immunotherapy (OIT) program at Aspire Allergy & Sinus.
Dr. Silvers is considered an expert in the field of food allergy diagnosis and treatment and I’m THRILLED to share this interview with you!
