Milk allergy is a common food allergy among children. It results from an over-reaction of the immune system towards the protein in the milk or milk products. In children who are allergic to milk, the immune system recognizes the protein in the milk as a harmful foreign substance and starts an immune reaction to fight against it. This symptoms related to this immune reaction varies from person to person. Homeopathic medicines treat milk allergy by optimizing the immune system. Once the immune system is moderated, the intensity and severity of the symptoms get reduced.
Natrum Carb, Magnesia Muriatica, and Apis Mellifica are the top homeopathic remedies for treating milk allergies in children.
In most cases, milk allergies arise from cow’s milk, but it is not unusual to develop these for sheep or goat milk. The immune response is primarily generated against the protein alpha S1-casein present in the cow’s milk. A person having atopic dermatitis, any other allergies or a family history of allergies is at risk to suffer from a milk allergy.

My 15 yr old daughter has developed a sudden dairy intolerance. After 6 mos of naseau, stomach ache, headache, and severe fatigue, she stopped eating any dairy products and feels great. However, if she accidentally gets the slightest hint of dairy she has a terrible bout of the above symptoms with 15 mins. Each time seems to get worse. Last night she had a peice of fish with a small bit of marinade that contained a small amount of butter. It was all homemade, a fish we eat every Friday night. Within minutes she left the special meal and had to go to bed. She is still feeling the effects 24 hours later, more mild now… Is there anything I can give her to counteract the reaction before it happens. Thank you…
I would like to get help for allergies…. As soon as I have dairy cream milk etc… (grass fed organic or any other type) within seconds I get sinus drainage, along with phlegmy feeling in my throat, if I continue to have dairy. My lymph system gets backed up in my neck causing sinus drainage and sluggishness…..
I have also developed an allergy to egg yolks…. Black pepper, garlic coconut and almonds – when I eat these I get a sharp pain over my liver gallbladder area and stomach bloating and inflammation…. I have cut these foods out of my diet however, if I eat out I may accidentally get exposed to them. Is there anything that would help? My massage therapist thinks I have been exposed to mold….(which could be The case as I have a moldy smelling bathroom). Any help would be greatly appreciated

Good Morning Doctor,
I have a baby boy who is 6 weeks old. He has a milk protein allergy which i came to know in the 3rd week. Since then I have stopped any dairy products and started giving milk after 4 weeks. During this time the baby is on Necocate formula.( Neocate is the original hypo allergenic amino acid-based formula designed for food allergic infants.
Currently the baby is on mother milk 3 times a day and 4 times on the above formula. The problem we are facing
1) no regular bowl. He is going for poop every alternative day or once in 3 days.
2) he is cranky & fuzzy
3) He always tries to go for POOP but when he is trying to do so he is experiencing reflux and milk is coming into the mouth and crying. Sometimes baby is having a light spitting also.
Please suggest.
Thanks

Sir, my son Dev Chhajed age 7 years of age is very highly allergic to milk. When he was 3 year old if by mistake he touches milk he got red patches and itching on that area. We tried goat milk also but same result. He was not allergic to his mother’smilk. We tried homeopathic treatment from a local homeopath for 2 years approx, his allergic reaction subsided a little but his height stopped increasing and got warts on his face so we stopped the treatment and warts were gone and now his height is also increasing. As we avoid all milk and milk products now, but sometimes by mistake if he consumes any product with traces of milk as uncle chips, dark chocolate with no milk in description its written may contain traces. In that case also he devlops stomach ache and starts crying.
Sir I am always tensed for him as all allery problems are because of immune deficiency. I would be very thankful if you could help me.
Waiting for your valuable response.
Kind Regards
Shreyansh Chhajed
