Milk AllergiesHome>> Food Milk Allergies
People who aren't allergic to milk may think that it is easy to control a milk allergy, you simply have to omit milk, ice cream and eggs right? Wrong! Anyone who has a Milk allergy knows exactly how difficult it is, as many foods are made with milk, and milk by products. Milk is one of, if not the most common food allergy. Fortunately, milk is one of the easiest ingredients to substitute in baking and cooking. It can be substituted, in equal amounts, with water or fruit juice. (For example, substitute 1 cup milk with 1 cup water.) Cow’s milk can be substituted with Rice Milk or Soy Milk, assuming that you do not have Soy Allergies as well.



Having a milk allergy doesn't mean that you and your family can't enjoy eating the foods they love. In fact, some people find that many of the milk substitutes like vanilla soy milk, actually taste better than regular cow's milk. In fact, think of avoiding milk as offering up the opportunity to discover some great that you and your family would never have found otherwise.

Hidden Sources of Milk:
Deli meat slicers are frequently used for both meat and cheese products within your local grocery store.
Some brands of canned tuna fish contain casein, a milk protein.
Many non-dairy products contain casein (a milk derivative), listed on the ingredient labels which can also cause allergic reactions.
Some meats may contain casein as a binder. Check all labels carefully before consuming.
Many restaurants put butter on steaks after they have been grilled to add extra flavor. The butter is not visible after it melts.


Commonly asked Questions about Milk allergies:

Q Is goat milk a safe alternative to cow milk?
A Goat's milk protein is similar to cow's milk protein and may, therefore, cause a reaction in milk-allergic individuals. It is not a safe alternative.

Q Can you rely on kosher symbols to determine if a product is milk-free? The Jewish community uses a system of product markings to indicate whether a food is kosher, or in accordance with Jewish dietary rules.
A There are two kosher symbols that can be of help for those with a milk allergy: a "D," or the word "dairy," on a label next to "K" or "U" (usually found near the product name) indicates presence of milk protein, and a "DE" on a label indicates the product was produced on equipment shared with dairy.

If the product contains neither meat nor dairy products it is "pareve" (parev, parve). Pareve-labeled products indicate that the products are considered milk-free according to religious specifications. Be aware that under Jewish law, a food product may be considered pareve even if it contains a very small amount of milk. Therefore, a product labeled as pareve could potentially have enough milk protein in it to cause a reaction in a milk-allergic individual.

If you suspect that you have a milk, consult your physician or allergists and get tested!
