Milk allergy test measures IgE Antibodies for the Alpha-lactalbumin (f76) IgE, Beta-lactoglobulin (f77) IgE, ( two forms of Whey protein) and Casein (f78) IgE commonly found in cow’s milk to screen for allergic reactions. Whey protein is a mixture of proteins isolated from whey, which is the liquid part of milk that separates during cheese production. The protein is a popular dietary supplement utilized by bodybuilders, athletes, and those who want additional protein in their diet. Two common forms of whey protein in milk and milk products are alpha-lactalbumin and beta-lactoglobulin. The other most found protein in milk and milk products is casein, which is also responsible for giving milk it’s defining white color. Those having an allergy to milk protein, their body's immune system, which usually fights infections, overreacts to the proteins in milk.
This test is used in the identification and to check the severity of which specific milk protein a patient is allergic to. The knowledge helps the clinician and the patient to make the correct treatment and lifestyle choices to mitigate exposure and reaction risk.
