A member asked:

If every time i eat cheese or something with cheese in it...my lip swells up. would you say that is a cheese allergy? how do you have that tested?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Milk protein allergy: This sounds like an allergy to cheese or one of a number of milk proteins. Allergy testing - either skin or blood testing can most likely confirm your suspicion.
