Is Milk Safe for those with a Milk Allergy?

Written by: AllergyMom

I have to admit that this press release caught me by surprise. According to an article in Medical News Today, “Milk is Safe, Even Encouraged, for some children after treatment for milk allergy”. This research study, funded by the National Institutes of Health, found that “The follow-up of 18 children ages 6 to 16 whose severe milk allergies had eased or disappeared found that all children were able to safely consume milk at home, and that reactions, while common, were generally mild and grew milder and milder over time. The follow-up varied from three to 17 months, depending on how long it took patients to increase their milk intake.”
