Milk Allergies Directory
When you have a milk allergy, milk and anything with milk products can cause an allergic reaction that may include symptoms such as hives, wheezing, and vomiting. Some products that may cause a reaction include cheese, yogurt, whey, pudding, and more. Because these foods contain vitamin D and other nutrients you need, be sure to get those vitamins from other healthy sources.
