Possible health problems

Milk protein allergy, also known as cow's milk allergy, is a food allergy that is estimated to affect about two to three percent of infants and toddlers and one percent of adults in Europe.

Even the smallest amounts of milk can be enough to trigger allergic reactions. According to health experts, the symptoms can occur immediately after consumption or in some cases even days after consumption.

In children, the allergy is often due to symptoms such as tingling in the mouth, itching and swelling of the mucous membranes and the skin and eczema.

It can also cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, abdominal pain, bloating, colic, vomiting, diarrhea and constipation.

In severe cases, so-called anaphylactic reactions are possible. The most severe form is the life-threatening anaphylactic shock. (Ad)
