A dairy allergy is an immune system response to the proteins in milk. If you're allergic, upon consuming dairy products, your body starts to defend itself against what it mistakenly perceives as a threat.
Recent research shows fewer than 20% of children outgrow milk allergies by age four, although approximately 80% outgrow it by age sixteen, revealing significant variability in lifelong impact.
There are two primary allergenic proteins in milk: casein, making up 80% of the milk protein, and whey, which accounts for the remaining 20%, with varying allergic reactions.
Specific types of whey and casein, such as alpha-lactalbumin and alpha-s1 casein, are most often linked to common allergic reactions, whereas beta-lactoglobulin can lead to severe anaphylaxis.
