There is over the counter medicine called Lactaid that you can take right before you are going to ingest a milk product. It helps prevent the symptoms you would typically get like gas, bloating, discomfort, etc. Perhaps you should try it-follow the directions on the packet as far as how many pills to take. Good luck!

For most people, a “milk allergy” is actually a decrease in lactase, the enzyme used to break down lactose in milk. There is oral lactase that you can take that sometimes will solve the problem. Good luck.
