Test for Milk Allergies - Remove any food products from your daily diet that contain milk for 14 days. The ingredients included in a food product are found on the back label under "Nutrition Facts." Keep note of any bodily changes you experience while the milk products are removed from your diet.
Slowly reintroduce milk for two days. Begin with a cup of low-fat milk. Drink 3 to 4 ounces at 8 a.m. and then another 3 or 4 ounces at 11 a.m.; repeat this process on the second day. Keep note of any bodily changes you experience while consuming the milk.
Remove milk and products containing milk from your diet a second time.
Compare your notes. If you noticed any significant changes in your body during the time you consumed the milk, you may be allergic to milk. If not, continue to step 5.
Add more products containing milk to your diet. In addition to milk, add a low-fat ice cream to your daily diet for two days. After the two days, remove products containing milk from your diet for a third time. Continue to gradually add and remove dairy products during a two-day period. If there is still no reaction, you may not be allergic to milk.
A milk allergy causes the body to react with hives, vomiting, swelling and much more when milk is consumed. A person with a milk allergy shows signs and symptoms that are either mild or life threatening. Children are more susceptible to developing a food allergy than adults, but most traces of the allergy are gone by the time they reach age 3. The signs and symptoms of an allergic reaction to milk are similar to those of other medical conditions; therefore, you need to be tested to verify whether you actually have a milk allergy.
