== Possible addition/notation needed? ==

In http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_allergy, it notes quote "Milk, from cows, goats or sheep, is another common food allergen, and many sufferers are also unable to tolerate dairy products such as cheese." However, on this page it makes no mention that those suffering from a milk allergy might still be able to consume/tolerate other dairy products like cheese, butter, and yogurt. Would it hurt the overall article to include a notation or addition stating that there are varying degrees of the allergy, with some people with it being able to eat milk based foods, while others are unable to have any milk based foods in their diet? I know I have the allergy myself, and while I'm unable to drink milk, or products such as bottled coffees with milk; I am still able to eat yogurt, cheese, and butter.

The caption on the images says the milk is pasturised. Can you please state your source or change it to just say "a glass of milk"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.220.95.51 (talk) 22:34, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]


mikeandjoedc Sep 1 - Davidruben, please see my note to you re. my recommended addition to the external links. Thanks.

Organic milk?

Went ahead and deleted this: "It should noted that there are different types of milk, and most of the information in this page relates to the consumption of conventional milk from grain fed confined cattle. Milk from organic grass-fed pasturing cattle actually reduces allergies and promotes good health." If milk proteins are the allergen the cow's food shouldn't change anything.--Fisher4.wemo (talk) 03:07, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Expert

I am not 100% on this article, I am just curious what an expert opinion would state about this article. Yanksox (talk) 17:04, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I was thinking that the Milk allergy page needed some work when you added the expert tag. I have a severe anaphylactic allergy to milk and a lot of information from FAAN (Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network) about milk allergies. I was also thinking of adding a section with differences between lactose intolerance and milk allergy. I also noticed that food intolerance redirects to food allergy, so I was going to write a food intolerance article. Since they are very different conditions, I thought it was a bit misleading for it to redirect to food allergy. I'd appreciate if you replyed with your thoughts. jf 17:22, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'm a little confused. I wasn't proposing a redirect. I just cleaned it up and added an expert tag. Yanksox (talk) 17:25, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oh yes, but whenever you added the tag, I became excited and thought of more things that needed fixing. Just curious what you thought. jf 17:29, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know too much about the subject, and I tried my best to clean it up. It does seem a little messy and confusing. It does need some revamping, I say go for the gold as long as you can prove it. Yanksox (talk) 17:30, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'm a scientific copywriter on the Act Against Allergy project, an interactive communication program about child food allergies. All information in the website is supported by official references (scientific literature and clinical studies) and you can access detailed content in the Act Against Allergy website. Allergies of all kinds are increasingly becoming common in industrialized countries, so it's important to increase the awareness and knowledge about this problem in the community we live in. For the same reason I've introduced a paragraph on “Cow milk allergy” into the article on "Milk" because we know there is a significant difference between an intolerance and an allergy, and I'm going to introduce a similar content in "Cow Milk Allergy" article (I'd like to restore it as Cow Milk Allergy, to differentiate from other milks, like goat milk etc.) --Angelopas 10:55, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure that we should restore "Cow milk allergy" and create "Goat milk allergy" and however many other types of milk there are. Goat's milk and cow's milk both redirect to milk, and it seems that if you made multiple articles, the information would be largely redundant. I suggest keeping the article at milk allergy and maybe adding a paragraph about the different types of milk. I think what we should mainly focus on is adding to the article and bringing it up to standard. cøøkiə Ξ (talk) 14:48, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Connection with beef allergy

So, is beef allergy more common in milk allergy sufferers than in the general population? The current text suggests it but does not say so explicitly. Zargulon 19:40, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, much more so--see the cited reference for more info. Asbruckman 20:58, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The info provided on beef allergy is not only controversial, it's clearly a falsification. NO case of beef allergy has been reported and tested, but there are assumptions on such a thing existing as a reaction to tick bites from a very specialized form of tick, isolated to a few US states. No connection between milk and beef allergy has ever been proven. http://allergicliving.com/index.php/2010/07/02/food-allergy-beef-emerges-as-issue/ 62.16.147.126 (talk) 22:50, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dairy allergy

Should we rename this page 'dairy allergy'? And have a redirect from 'milk allergy'? Asbruckman 20:58, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Both names are fairly ambiguous. Generally milk allergy is understood to mean dairy products, but the best name would be "Cow milk allergy". Fickce4 (talk) 13:20, 9 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

My allergist advised avoiding all animal-derived milk, not just goat. This article could be helped by expanding on this.Rachaella (talk) 22:21, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oral Immunotherapy Trials for Milk Allergy

I think the current clinical trials for oral immunotherapy at Johns Hopkins University (and I believe, Duke University) should be mentioned in this article under treatment. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.246.79.102 (talk) 01:20, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Lactic Acid

As a parent of a milk allergic child, I think the "lactic acid" mention is wrong. Lactic acid is not usually a dairy product, and quick googling seems to confirm this. I will edit when I get a chance to find some harder scientific info.

http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/stevecarper/experts.htm —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.118.24.3 (talk) 09:09, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • The lactic acid in food is invariably derived from milk, so it invariably comes with traces of milk protein and, thus, can cause an allergic reaction for people with allergies triggered by trace amounts (such as myself). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.243.177.36 (talk) 05:36, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Raw milk info spamming

---

It has been reported that children who suffer from Otitis media are also associated with the consumption of dairy products, such as cow's milk and the illness can be avoided for the infant who has had a breastfeeding[1], [2]. Some scientists consider the allergy from infants is partly due to the exposure to organochlorines which are pesticides and could contaminate food or feeds [3].

The other reported diseases that are associated with the consumption of dairy products include

I don't think the title needs any clarification. What you are describing is some pathology, not food allergy, which is an immune system reaction to a food protein. kd 9/2009

Quality of citations

I know citations are everything to wikipedians, but the citations to a chiropracter's website and content by an "NMD" need to be replaced by citations to actual scientific or medical review content. (I'm not saying the facts the citations support are wrong, just that they need reliable sources as citations). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.3.23.126 (talk) 10:13, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Good catch! I've removed it and the one from the product site. --Ronz (talk) 17:24, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Glaring inconsistency...

To quote the article: "The most common one is alpha S1-casein.[1] Alpha S1-caseins differ between species."

Well is there ONE [ie., alpha S1-casein protein]? Or more than one?

The first sentence above suggests that alpha S1-casein is ONE protein. The very next sentence suggests there are multiple types of alpha S1-caseins.

If the latter is correct, then it should read something like this:

"A person with milk allergy can be reactive to any of dozens of the proteins within milk. The most common [allergen proteins] are alpha S1-caseins.[1] Alpha S1-caseins differ between species." 109.149.158.177 (talk) 19:05, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't this sentence HIGHLY controversial?

To quote the article: "On an avoidance diet, it may be possible to reduce the longer-term risk of calcium deficiency and osteoporosis..."

My question: Isn't this VERY HIGHLY controversial?

I've heard or read that calcium is (cow's) milk either is not absorbed or is, at best, poorly absorbed?? (Don't know if this is true.)

Furthermore, has it actually been established that avoiding dairy/milk risks calcium deficiency and osteoporosis? Or is this just one of those simplistic assumptions that society has taken as the truth: E.g., "There's calcium in milk, therefore milk provides us with calcium [assumption?], and therefore if we don't drink milk, we'll have calcium deficiency [assumption?], and if we have calcium deficiency, then our bones will fall apart [assumption?]...", even though I've been led to understand that osteoporosis may very well be caused by such things as imbalances in our mineral supplies (e.g., imbalances in our mineral ratios such as the magnesium:calcium ratio in our diets) or by other deficiencies (eg., vitamins).

So the above sentence in the article just sounds like a scare-mongering, "of course everyone knows this", type of thing that someone from the dairy industry might throw in.

Do epidemiological studies (despite their limitations) show that people who do NOT drink (much) milk demonstrate greater "longer-term risk of calcium deficiency and osteoporosis"? (Somehow I doubt it.) 109.149.158.177 (talk) 19:36, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Treatment section restored

Hi there, I restored the Treatment header and first few sentences that had been cut in 2010 with no explanation (vandalism?).

I don't know if the information is still current, especially the part starting with "Currently the only treatment is" but it's better than the previous state of the article. The absence of the Treatment header made it look like everything after "Milk protein intolerance is also referred to as milk soy protein intolerance (MSPI)" was still referring to MSPI, including the "Milk Avoidance and Replacement For Infants" and "Milk Substitution for Children and Adults" subsections, making this basically an article on MSPI and not milk allergy. 207.45.249.143 (talk) 10:39, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Possible addition/notation needed?

In http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_allergy, it notes quote "Milk, from cows, goats or sheep, is another common food allergen, and many sufferers are also unable to tolerate dairy products such as cheese." However, on this page it makes no mention that those suffering from a milk allergy might still be able to consume/tolerate other dairy products like cheese, butter, and yogurt. Would it hurt the overall article to include a notation or addition stating that there are varying degrees of the allergy, with some people with it being able to eat milk based foods, while others are unable to have any milk based foods in their diet? I know I have the allergy myself, and while I'm unable to drink milk, or products such as bottled coffees with milk; I am still able to eat yogurt, cheese, and butter. (talk 4:54, 9, March 2015 (UTC)
