The previous belief that children usually outgrow dairy allergies by the age of three has been disproved by Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Apparently only 19% of children outgrew this allergy by the age of 4 and 21% (over one fifth) of children still had not outgrown it by the age of 16. Those children who suffered from allergic rhinitis and / or asthma were less likely to outgrow their allergy.

Also research at the the Flanders Institute for Biotechnology in Belgium is using the natural bacteria, lactococcus lactis, to try to treat dairy allergies and intolerance.

Dairy allergies and intolerances are steadily increasing and can produce a range of symptoms including digestive problems, respiratory problems, skin problems and behavioural problems. Some people find that they have problems with cow’s milk products but are OK with other milks such as goat, sheep and buffalo.
