Often time milk allergy is mix upped with lactose intolerance. Lactose intolerance is when the body does not produce enough enzymes to digest dairy products. Symptoms may range from stomach cramps, diarrhea and excess gas.

Today there are promotional products, specially made for those having milk allergies; these products can replace different milk products like infant milk, cheese and others.
