What can you eat?

It is important to avoid milk in your diet. This includes not only cow’s milk, but also goat, sheep and mare milk. Even soy milk should only be enjoyed with caution, as soy can also frequently trigger allergies.

But not only obvious dairy products should be removed from the menu, many products that you wouldn’t think so at first glance should not be eaten either. It is important to make sure that many finished products also contain hidden milk components. These include bread and special baked goods, rusks, muesli, milk rolls, ready-made pasta dishes, sausages, etc.

All these products must be avoided. To avoid accidentally consuming something with milk protein, it is worth taking a look at the list of ingredients on the packaging.

These cross allergies exist

What is a cross allergy? This question is actually quite simple to answer: Some allergens are so similar in structure that the allergy sufferer’s immune system cannot distinguish them. Therefore, over time, allergies to other substances develop that are very similar to the original allergen at the molecular level.

This can also only be the case in the further course of the disease.In the case of cow’s milk protein allergy, other milk proteins from goat, sheep or mare milk can also trigger allergic symptoms. However, cross-reactions with almond milk, oat milk and rice milk have also been described. Soya milk can also trigger an allergy, although soya is free from any components of cow’s milk, but is itself a highly potent allergen, i.e. soya is a substance that itself frequently triggers allergies.
