Cow’s milk allergy results when antibodies against milk allergens are produced by the immune system.
Milk allergens are proteins; more than 25 distinct milk proteins have been identified in the various fractions of milk. The fractions include casein, whey, serum, and certain additional ingredients. (more…)

If the breast-fed baby is lactose intolerant (usually a temporary condition following intestinal infection at this age), mothers can continue to breast-feed, or pump their milk and treat it with lactase enzyme, until the baby’s symptoms stop. Details concerning feeding the lactose-intolerant infant are provided. There is no point in mothers’ eliminating milk and milk products from their diet to treat lactose intolerance in the baby, because their breast milk will contain 6 percent lactose (w/v) regardless of whether or not they consume cow’s milk.

I visited GlutenFree.com, which has a wide variety of gluten free fast food products. While not all of its products are gluten free, I still have to watch the milk, eggs and nuts. This is the important of reading the food allergy ingredients label. There was even free cheese in the product that we do not know first!

It is common to find anti-food IgG antibodies circulating in blood, even in people who have no signs or history of adverse reactions to foods. In fact, some authorities think that an increase in anti-food IgG in some cases might be indicative of successful resolution of an IgE-mediated allergy. The subject of IgG-mediated food allergy is extremely complicated because of the nature of the antibody and the immunological reactions associated with it. The present knowledge about food allergy-associated IgG may be summarized as follows: (more…)
