Q: itchy rash when drinking milk
asked by: Jules on October 4th, 2008

I eat a lot of dairy products with no reaction but I've noticed that when I drink milkshake or eat breakfast cereal with milk on, my lips become very red, sore, puffy and itchy. I was tested about ten years ago for allergies and it showed I did not have a dairy allergy so any idea why this might be happening? thinking

Food allergy can appear at any time in one’s life.
Adults can suddenly acquire milk allergy in their 30s or 40s.

Do you get diarrhea, too?

Thanks for your reply. No, I don't get any other symptoms other than the itchy, sore lips. I have a bad allergy to brazil nuts (I have to carry an epipen in case I come into contact with them) but the swelling I get from milk doesn't feel as severe as that.

I can eat chocolate okay most of the time though. Icecream does it to me though. Hmmm...I wonder if I'm allergic to cold milk? LOL
