How can someone develop an allergy to milk? I drank milk alot when I was a kid and when I was a teen I usually drink up to 9 glasses a milk a day. I went to get my allergy test last week and now they tell me I am allergic to the thing I love the most milk. What are the symptoms of an milk allergy and can I eat cheese?

Usually....

you do not "get" an allergy. They develop over time or are genetically there. Since cheese is milk based, I wouldn't try it. How severe is the allergy? What are the symptoms?
