Milk Allergy Adult Symptom:
Finding Healthy Snacks
To Prevent Stress

Looking and finding healthy snacks to prevent a milk allergy adult symptom will very rarely start during the adult years. A true milk allergy, meaning the body's immune system is rejecting the allergens (proteins) present in the food, will usually be observed in newborns and young children. Occasionally though, sensitivity to milk and dairy products can be acquired later during the adult or adolescence years.

First Step Is Deciding: Allergy vs Intolerance

Cow's milk protein intolerance is a condition where the milk sugar (lactose) present in all dairy products can not be digested because the individual has a shortage of the digestive enzyme lactase. Symptoms generally include gas, bloating and distension of the abdomen which creates abdominal pain and sometimes diarrhea.

Adult milk allergy symptom though do include some of the lactose intolerance symptoms but you can also see vomiting, rashes or hives with chronic coughing or wheezing. Very rarely will this situation gravitate to an anaphylactic emergency with milk allergy adult symptom.

It is not always true that a person will show an allergic reaction immediately following the intake of an offending food product. Sometimes, especially with a cow's milk allergy, symptoms may not manifest themselves for approximately 45 minutes to 20 hours after eating.

Therefore, in working with your doctor to determine what your trigger is, often a food diary (a record of everything you place in your mouth for a set time period in writing so the doctor has a copy to study) may be necessary to show some of the commonalities in your eating patterns so the doctor can determine exactly what is causing your food allergy symptoms.

Remember though, no two people are alike in symptoms or treatment. What works for one does not necessarily mean it is the correct course of treatment for you. This is the reason it is so important to work closely with your doctor to help relieve your milk allergy adult symptom.
