Some people may be allergic to dairy. In my case, one of my children was not only allergic to dairy but was also allergic to casein. Up until then, I had never heard of casein and didn’t know what food products it was in. I discovered that casein is a protein that can be found in milk and milk-based products.
I learned about this allergy through so much trial and error, noticing hives on my child whenever it was consumed. As time went by, I learned it was an allergen for my family that caused reactions, so we made the conscious choice to avoid it.
Some items that you or your loved one may be allergic to that is in the dairy family are:
- Cream
- Custard
- Ghee
- Half & Half
- Goat Milk
- Butter
- Butter Fat
- All cheese and curds (including cottage cheese)
