“…Small amounts of proteins and peptides consumed by the mother are passed through the milk and therefore the baby will slowly be in contact with the food they will consume in the future. This process is called tolerance development (Dias et al, 2009). …”

Adverse reactions to food intake have very diverse etiology and symptomatology. Regarding milk, its food allergy is presented as lactose intolerance, the sugar in milk, or allergy to milk protein. Despite having different symptomatology, confusions among allergic conditions to dairy and its mediators are common. Milk protein allergy originates from protein components present in milk, causing reactions to either the protein fractions in emulsion (caseins) or in whey (milk albumin). The allergic reaction is type IV mediated by T lymphocytes. The allergic reaction produces severe cellular damage and it triggers physical, mental and emotional symptomatology that may vary in time, intensity and severity. Lactose intolerance is originated by total or partial absence of the enzyme that digests this disaccharide. Lactose intolerance can be primary or congenital and secondary; the former being more rare and severe, the latter being more common. Lactase deficiency can be diagnosed by symptoms associated with cramping and diarrhea. Thus, the objective of this study was to conduct a review of available literature on cow's milk protein allergy and lactose intolerance.Keywords: cow's milk; adverse reactions to food; immune response.Practical Application: Know and differentiate lactose intolerance and allergy to cow's milk protein.

“…Regional differences between allergies to milk, wheat and egg were also evident, with Quebec showing a lower prevalence compared to elsewhere in Canada. The unusually high prevalence of milk and wheat allergy in adults is not consistent with the literature [3,4], and may be due to participant confusion with lactose intolerance and celiac disease, respectively. Currently, our research team is contacting participants from the survey in order to validate their report of allergy to milk, egg and/or wheat.…”

“…El porcentaje de pacientes que presentaba más de una manifestación atópica fue similar a otros estudios 12 . El porcentaje que alcanzó tolerancia fue similar al encontrado por Dias 13 en Portugal a los diez años, aunque en sus estudios no todos presentan alergia IgEmediada, lo mismo ocurría con la muestra del estudio de Tikkanen 12 . En nuestro estudio existe una tendencia a que los niños con manifestaciones respiratorias de atopia (asma y/o rinoconjuntivitis) alcancen la tolerancia más tarde.…”
