Live With Allergies to Milk - to have milk allergy is to be very different from lactose intolerance, and two are often confused. Milk allergy is caused by an immune system response to milk protein or casein. Lactose intolerance occurs when the body stops the enzyme to digest the milk sugar or lactose needed.
How to Live With Allergies to Milk
Avoid milk and all milk products. This includes yogurt, cheese, cream, butter, ice cream and sour cream.
Taking milk digestive aids will not help you tolerate milk if you have true allergy.
Avoid processed foods as much as possible. Milk is hidden ingredient in many items. Stick with simple, pure, fresh foods - which are more healthful anyway.
Read all labels very carefully. Look for words milk solids, casein, sodium caseinate, lactose or sodium lactylate, as well as any word that begins with lact. Stay away from products containing these ingredients.
Watch out for labels that say dairy-free. That doesn't necessarily mean that they're milk-free. Many contain casein. Prime culprits are coffee whiteners and nondairy creamers.
