Many people are firm advocates that milk is the “perfect food” and you won’t be able to change their minds. But parents have to train themselves about milk allergic reactions and milk sugar intolerances with their children in mind to be forewarned. One big reason why cow’s milk isn’t that good for you is that it was made for cows, not humans. Secondly, if you are not getting magnesium along with cow milk, you don’t benefit from the calcium. Thirdly, if you consume something with iron in it, your body also cannot intake calcium at all. So, red meat and a glass of milk, is not a great idea.
When the immune system reacts to milk proteins, milk allergy takes place. These are signs and symptoms that will occur while the child is an infant. This affects the digestive system along with skin and airways. Milk allergic reactions can be life threatening to infants if not realized and something done about it. Infants who develop milk allergic reactions are usually put on soy milk by their pediatricians.
Lactose intolerance shows up a couple of years later and is caused by the body not being able to break down the milk sugar lactose. This affects the digestion only, and causes symptoms such as gas, bloating, and loose bowels. This happens only after drinking milk or eating dairy products. This is not a severe intolerance and many people can still drink milk or dairy goods in little quantities and not really sense any symptoms.
If a person is said to be milk-allergic, it is best to know that not all “milk-free” labels are misleading, and they still can have milk protein in it. Some of the soy cheeses that are labeled as milk free can still have some milk in it, so read the labels very carefully.
A lot of nondairy products can be replaced for milk or milk products. Be aware, however, that just because it is is labeled “nondairy,” it does not inevitably mean that it is milk-free. Still, a “milk-free” label can mislead you. For example, some soy cheeses claim to be milk free but may still contain milk protein. It’s the reason why it’s often important to read all food labels when you have a milk-allergic child.
