Food Allergy: Allergy to foods is an IgE mediated reaction.

Accepted Answer

Skin and GI: Milk allergy usually begins in infancy. Most children have rashes (eczema or hives) and GI symptoms (pain and diarrhea). Less common are nasal and chest symptoms.  Chronic constipation in infants and children is rarely due to true milk allergy.  In young children the initial manifestation of milk allergy can be anaphylaxis, a severe systemic reaction.

It depends: If you have the usual respiratory allergies (allergic rhinitiis, i.E hay fever, or asthma) then it is not. But if you have chronic urticaria (recurrent hives), you may have igg antibody against your mast cell receptors, thus this would be a form of autoimmune condition.
