Why Confused?: You are allergic to something in the milkshake. It does not have to be the milk.

Lactose amounts diff: Take it from someone who is an expert in this area due to personal experience with being lactose intolerant. When you combine the amount of lactose present in ice cream and the milk in the shake, the amount of lactose present is much higher than just a glass of milk. It likely exceeds the amount your gut is able to handle at one setting. It may help to have shake made with frozen yogurt.
