  • Unfortunately, this strategy didn’t work to prevent my kid from having the same milk allergy that I do. In fact, it’s worse.

    Not fatal or anything. His lips become bright red, swelling slightly and peel later, he obviously gets days of the shits, and if it’s repeated exposure he will get rashes all over. And we’re talking some small amount of milk powder or unexpected butter deep in the ingredients of a baked good - if he actually consumed something like real milk, butter, or cheese, it would be much worse.

    Goat cheese seems fine. It’s something about the cow milk proteins.

    For me, it’s just a serious case of the shits when it’s the real deal. I guess my millennial upbringing of a glass of milk daily conditioned some small amount of tolerance.
