In case you have a true allergy to milk, you should avoid all dairy products. I need to know more specific information about health issues. Some people may have milk intolerance which they confuse with allergy to milk. In reality it’s a different medical condition. To answer your question more precisely, Ione needs to see the results of your tests (blood, skin tests and/or food challenge test). Besides, there are other conditions that may mimic milk allergy. Calcium which is found in milk and dairy products can be easily substituted by calcium from almonds. You can also have almond milk.

Yes, you manifest systemic reaction to milk and this needs to be taken very seriously. First of all I’d recommend you to have an EpiPen with you all the time and be ready to administer it. In case you ever develop irregular heart beats, chest tightness, you better go to ER, since it may be a sign of allergic asthmatic attack. You also want to be examined by an allergist to evaluate your condition. That may include:
1. Broad allergy testing to rule out other allergies,
2. Blood work to check on your immune system, since hives may be seen in other medical conditions
3. Get a pulmonary function test to rule out allergic asthma.
4. Till all this is completed, you must avoid all milk products.
