Milk Protein Allergy is an allergic reaction to proteins most commonly found in cows milk.
Your immune system reacts because it believes the protein from the milk to be a threat to your body.
Your immune system will do its best to get rid of the invader.
During the allergy reaction your body releases histamine a chemical which causes blood vessels to dilate and leak, mucous membranes to start producing and other effects.
The leaking blood vessels causes redness and itching over certain parts of the body.
Increased mucous may make you congested.
Other reactions to Milk Protein Allergy may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and behavioural changes.
It has been noted that there are basically three different groups who suffer from Milk Protein Allergy.
The first group reacts within 45 minutes of drinking cows milk.
The second group may take from 45 minutes to 20 hours.
The third group may take longer than 20 hours.
