What To Avoid With A Dairy Allergy

Published: Mar 31, 2015 Β· Modified: Jan 18, 2021 by Rebecca Pytell Β· This post may contain affiliate links.

One of the other Big 9 Allergens is of course...DAIRY! Since my "What To Avoid With A Soy Allergy" post got some great responses and requests for posts on the other allergens, I thought I would do one for each. Again, a major hope for this blog is to make it a safe resource for allergy-free advice, tips, and healthy recipes. I don't have a dairy allergy, but I do not consume any form of it (i.e. all my recipes are dairy-free!) I've talked about the ethical and logical reasons as to why I don't here!

On to the important parts. A dairy (or "milk") allergy is different than lactose intolerance, don't get them confused. Lactose intolerance is a very prevalent disorder where the body is lacking in the Lactase enzyme, which breaks down the sugar is dairy (lactose). This is just another fact as to why humans were not made to consume another mammals milk. This intolerance ranges in severity and really differs from person to person. You may be fine with ice cream, but a glass of milk will kill you. Thankfully, there are products that are lactose-free and OTC meds like Lactaid to help with digestion if you want to continue consuming dairy.

Just like soy, dairy allergies are very common in young children and can be grown out of. Cow "dairy" is the biggest culprit, but the allergy can also include milk from goats, sheep, and other animals. Since this is an allergy, symptoms will appear after a dairy product is ingested. That can include mild to severe reactions. Hives, trouble breathing, digestive upset (diarrhea, other gross stuff, etc.), coughing/wheezing, rash, runny nose or eyes, or anaphylaxis, which will require immediate use of an Epi-Pen and 911.

Here is what to avoid if you have a dairy allergy so you WON'T have to deal with the above reactions!

Grab this word search activity to help teach your kids which dairy terms to look for on packages!

Again, the red flags are things you must avoid at all costs and the yellow flags are things that you need to be extremely cautious about. They may contain dairy, they may not. That means you must ask questions, contact companies/brands, and read labels! Even canned tuna can contain a dairy derivative as a preservative! (Just like that sneaky soy!) Even products that claim to be non-dairy, may in fact contain dairy. Some cheese alternatives may not have whey, lactose, or milk solids, but contain casein. So you must be extremely cautious when you first start your allergy journey and are getting used to things.

Just like a soy allergy, a dairy or milk allergy can be easily navigated. There are SO many alternatives now and 1 to 1 swaps. It really isn't complicated to switch out dairy which is a good thing! And with the declining tread of dairy and milk consumption in the first place, there are so many new dairy-free products popping up everywhere you look...and they taste damn good! Take almond milk for instance...probably the greatest thing ever! Here is just a sampling of alternatives for you to try out!

Homemade Plant-Based Milk (so easy to make with a good blender)

SilkΒ - Non-Dairy Milks (Almond, Coconut, Cashew, Soy), Creamers, Yogurts, etc.

Good Karma Flax Milk

So Delicious - Non-Dairy Milks (Coconut, Almond, Cashew), Creamers, Yogurts, Culinary Milks, Ice Creams, Other Frozen Treats, etc.

Nutritional Yeast (best natural "cheese" alternative!)

Daiya - Non-Dairy Cheeses

Earth Balance - Non-Dairy Butters, Spreads

Coconut Butter (also a great natural "butter" alternative!)

Follow Your Heart - Non-Dairy Sour Cream, Cheese, Cream Cheese, etc.

Enjoy Life - Chocolates

Equal Exchange - Chocolates

There are so many brands out there and great products, all for easy swapping! Try a few and find the brands you love! When you have food allergies or a restricted diet, you have to be willing to try things (multiple times) before giving up. I know for me, the best almond milk is Silk's unsweetened original. It's completely safe (allergy-free) and carrageenan-free too πŸ˜‰ You might like a different brand, you may opt for always making homemade. Whatever makes you happy and safe is the way to go! Allergy-free living is manageable once you have the knowledge and understanding that you health is of utmost importance (not that fact that you have to give up your favorite ice cream!).

So tell me:

+ Do you have a true dairy allergy?

+ Are you one of the millions who suffer from lactose intolerance?

+ What's you're favorite dairy-free alternative?

    I am so thankful to have discovered this post today. I took my dd (12) to the GI doctor today, and he sent her home on a 3-week dairy-elimination diet. If that doesn't help to alleviate her tummy and joint pain issues, we're to move on to a gluten-elimination diet. So, I am off to check out your post about that!

    I never thought the list can be this long. I have a friend who got dairy allergy and I always tease her that it's fine to eat this one or that one because it only has processed dairy product. Now that I have read this, I won't do it again to her.

    My youngest is allergic to dairy and as I'm nursing him, I have to be dairy free as well. I did learn that some movie theater popcorn is dairy free! Also, I make my own "parmesan shaker cheese" using cashews and nutritional yeast (as well as garlic and onion powders and sea salt).

    My three children have suffered from milk protein allergy (the inability to break it down). My eldest was 2 1/2 yrs and then fine, my middle was 1 yr then fine with milk but my little guy is still suffering at 17 months (today!).
    Different things upset his tummy and prolonged amounts give him a rash.

    I drank milk growing up and I ate so much frozen yoghurt as a kid and teenager, but once I went off to college I stopped buying dairy products and gradually my body just seemed to stop being able to digest it as well as before. I wouldn't say I'm intolerant, just sensitive. Sheep's milk seems to be okay for me (including hard sheep cheeses), but give me anything creamy and my body just won't be able to deal. I save dairy for very special occasions- like gelato in Italy- otherwise I'm mostly dairy-free! Nut milks and nut cheeses are my favourite!

    I have a true dairy allergy and I like coconut or almond milk as an alternative. It is hard because I like and enjoy dairy products. Thanks for sharing this list of things to avoid. I'm curious, what medications could contain dairy? It seems like dairy products are put into so many different things.

      Really, but the alternatives are so much better! I guess if you don't have ethical issues with dairy then it's harder with an allergy and being "forced".
      They are. Just like soy, gluten, eggs, any medication can contain a derivative.

    No dairy allergy but lactose intolerance since birth (at least according to my mom!) I lived on lactaid drops and pills growing up but honestly at this point I can handle some half and half in my coffee now and then or even ice cream on occasion as long as no long runs are planned.

    I've known children with severe milk allergy and it's scary stuff, just touching something that had had cheese on it recently but wasn't thoroughly washed would set off a dangerous reaction.

      Haha, that could be a running problem for sure πŸ˜‰ It was such a pain when I was taking the lactaid. It's easier to just be dairy-free!

    I am lactose intolerant, but it's actually a lot better than it used to be. As ironic as this is, my reaction is pretty mild after I started some dairy again (post-vegan). I don't drink milk, but cheese doesn't effect me nearly as much as it used to - if at all!

    I really love the Califia Farms brand of almond milk. Just tried it for the first time and I can see why people are into it! But honestly I'm not too picky about my almond milk, as long as its unsweetened and with as few additives as possible πŸ™‚

The humble mushroom gets the spotlight in this stroganoff! πŸ„πŸ˜ŽTransform those flavor sponges into a perfectly hearty and creamy saucy entree with some @pacificfoods veggie stock, homemade vegan sour cream with @thaikitchen, some simple @simplyorganicfoods seasonings, flavor additions, and @bobsredmill GF flour, all in your @lodgecastiron skillet! πŸ₯³πŸ™Œ

THIS is where those "mock" egg noodles come in! Sam Mills brand gluten-free "Lasagne Corte" noodles are legit like little mock egg noodles! They are 100% corn flour, no eggs! They're hearty and perfect for this mushroom stroganoff! But if you can't do corn, just use any type of hearty noodle or make some mashed potatoes or simple rice! πŸ₯° I even have a simple swap to make this recipe paleo too 🀯😍

If you've never heard of Irish potato candy, than you're in for a TREAT! πŸ₯³ Believe it or not, there is NO potato in potato candy! Here's another kicker...Irish potato candy is not actually Irish! It's a Philidephia, PA confection (so if you're not from the East Coast you really may be out of the loop!) However, it's a super fun seasonal treat that pops up around St. Patrick's Day! πŸ€πŸ‘
