Hi Shara,

It is dairy allergy when a person reacts to one or several of the proteins that are present in cow's milk and in milk processed foods, as yoghurt, butter or cheese. But, if Cow Milk Allergy implies an allergic reaction, triggered by the immune system and arosed by milk proteins, a dairy allergy may identify also a wider range of other reactions or symptoms (Crohn's disease, eczema, asthma or migraine attack, other digestive disorders).

Consequently, dairy allergy can be related to various substances that are present in milk, including lactose, casein and whey. Lactose, often referred as Milk Sugar, is the primary carbohydrate found in mammal's milk and appears as a white to creamy white crystalline product, normally obtained from whey; casein is the major milk protein of the solid part of cheeses, resulted from the curdled milk; and Whey products refer to the serum or watery part of milk that remains after coagulation, which occurs primarily in the production of cheese and cottage cheese. These substances are part of a variety of foods other than milk and cheese. So, an allergy to dairy products forces people to review their eating habits, excluding any food that may aggravate the allergy, and avoiding dairy is more difficult than avoiding just milk.
