Do You Have Milk Allergies?
Copyright 2005 Log Cabin Rustics
As a nation, we have been raised with milk on our breakfast
cereal, ice cream as a reward, sour cream on our potatoes, and
milkshakes at the local fast food restaurant. Dairy products are
in the majority of our recipes, served in our school lunch
programs, and a part of American life.
MY STORY
When my daughter suffered from respiratory infections, ear
infections and sinusitis, I did not know that what I fed her
could be contributing to her problems. At nights she would wake
up screaming that she couldn''t breathe. My husband and I would
run into her room, grab her and take her into the bathroom. We
would run the shower''s hot water till the bathroom became
steamy. Soon she could breathe and would start to calm down.
Sometimes that wouldn''t work and we would have to go to the
emergency room where they would put her in an oxygen tent to
relieve her gasps for air.

A friend suggested I stop giving her milk. I was annoyed as the
only milk she ate was on her cereal. I decided to try it and
almost immediately, she was having more restful nights. There
was a backlash when she spent time with others that fed her ice
cream, but otherwise, her ear infections and breathing problems
stopped.
I started to research this issue learned that that "At least 50%
of all children in the United States are allergic to cow's milk,
many undiagnosed. Dairy products are the leading cause of food
allergy, often revealed by diarrhea, constipation, and fatigue.
Many cases of asthma and sinus infections are reported to be
relieved and even eliminated by cutting out dairy." Natural
Health, July, 1994, Nathaniel Mead, MD
A few years later, I began having regular bouts with sinusitis.
Soon I was taking antibiotics on a regular basis. After awhile,
they didn't work anymore and I had to take stronger antibiotics.
When I complained to a coworker, she told me of a physician that
made a huge difference in her life by working to see if she had
any allergies. The physician had taken her off milk, and this
made a huge impact on her sinus infections.
I went to see the physician, who, after looking at my nose,
asked me to keep a food diary. I was annoyed. I thought I was a
healthy eater and this was a waste of my time. However, as I
wrote down what I ate. I found that every time I ate dairy
products, my nose began to run. Like my daughter, I too had a
milk allergy.
I switched to soy milk and my sinusitis completely ceased. I was
sorry that I hadn't known this years before, when I had round
after round of sinus infections in college. I had found that I
could save time in the college cafeteria by grabbing a shake and
a sandwich. I probably had allergic reactions to the ice cream
in the shakes.
A Frequent Problem
Allergists say the most common allergen is dairy products. Dairy
products (milk, cheese, yogurt, cottage and cream cheese,
buttermilk, butter, sodium caseinate and lactate) are the cause
of 60% of food allergens. There are also secondary chemicals
that travel through the food chain in meat and milk such as
chemicals, hormones, drugs and wheat, peanuts, etc.

Symptoms of Milk Allergies
According to Dr. Agatha Thrash, (Ucheepines.org website), milk
allergies aren't only sinus infections, rashes or a leaking
nose. They can also lead to confusion, poor brain function in
children and much physical suffering. Babies suffer the most
since their nutrition comes mostly from a diet of milk. Children
may experience pain, loss of appetite, itching or burning of the
mouth with ulcerations of the lining of the mouth, all due to
cow's milk.

Swelling of the lips, tongue, chronic coughing, asthma,
rhinitis, bronchitis, urinary bleeding, constipation, and
recurrent pneumonia can be symptoms of milk allergies. Because
of diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, gastrointestinal problems
can occur. Ulcerative colitis has been shown to have acute
exacerbations with the use of milk. "In reality, cow's milk,
especially processed cow's milk, has been linked to a variety of
health problems, including: mucous production, hemoglobin loss,
childhood diabetes, heart disease, atherosclerosis, arthritis,
kidney stones, mood swings, depression, irritability,
ALLERGIES." Townsend Medical Letter, May, 1995, Julie Klotter,
MD.
Many adults have some degree of lactose intolerance. For them,
eating or drinking dairy products causes problems like cramping,
bloating, gas, and diarrhea. It may manifest as breathing
difficulty, hives and rashes, or serious pain in the gut leading
to inability to get nourishment from food and dangerous weight
loss. These symptoms can range from mild to severe
(http://web.mit.edu/kevles/www/nomilk.html)
According to some authors about one-fifth of children with cow's
milk allergy have central nervous system disorders. Bedwetting
has been ascribed to milk allergy along with cystitis and the
nephrotic syndrome. Failure to thrive and sudden infant death
syndrome has been felt to be due to milk allergies. In adults
the tension-fatigue syndrome may be due to milk allergy. It can
also cause migraines, sleep difficulties and asthma. Israel
Journal of Medical Sciences 1983;19(9):806-809 Pediatrics
1989;84(4):595-603
WHAT ETHNIC GROUPS GET THIS?
Certain ethnic groups are much more likely to have lactose
intolerance. For example, 90 percent of Asians, 70 percent of
blacks and Native Americans, and 50 percent of Hispanics are
lactose-intolerant, compared to only about 15 percent of people
of Northern European descent. (Harvard School of Public Health)
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, consider this quote from Family Corner.com:
"Lastly, it is important to note that the milk we drink was
created by God to feed baby cows. It is full of essential
nutrients to grow a nice big cow, not a baby human. Nowhere in
nature will you find adult animals drinking milk. Only the
babies drink milk. Why should humans be any different? Cow's
milk is for baby cows; human milk is for baby humans. Save
yourself a multitude of health problems and make the switch to
soy or rice milk. Or better yet, give it up completely.'
