Allergy to milk



Recommended Posts

Does anyone else out there have an actual allergy to milk? I don’t mean you are lactose intolerant. I mean a real allergy. I break out in a rash if I drink too much milk. This is causing a problem for my Protein Shakes. Most want you to mix with milk, whether it is 2%, whole, or skim. I can’t have any of it. I tried almond milk and coconut milk, but they were way too rich. I can drink the muscle milk because it has no milk in it. I’ve been experimenting with the Fairlife, but I’m not sure if it’s going to work or not. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Try plant based or vegan varieties, the whey, is there as a Protein source so you would to replace with one of the others. I'm sure there are vegan members on BP who can give you brand names. I would probably start with Whole Foods, GNC, Vitamin Shoppe or your local health food store. My late son was not lactose intolerant but casein intolerant. He could never use the Elmers Glue family for that reason., many people do not realize casein is the foundation for their products.[emoji275]

Thank you so much for the info. I have no idea what causes my allergy. But I’ll try whatever it takes to find a solution.

I can’t handle milk so I got my Protein Powder on Amazon and I use almond milk. I get this Protein powder in vanilla and chocolate.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
