Allergies to cow's milk are one of the most common food allergies. Milk and milk-based proteins are found in many different foods, and testing, if you are allergic, is one of the first steps to improving your quality of life. With Quicktest Milk Allergy Test, you can quickly and easily find out if you are allergic to cow's milk protein. The test measures elevated levels of IgE allergy antibodies to cow's milk protein, which is a reliable indication of milk allergy. However, it is important that you have previously experienced symptoms or currently have symptoms for the test to be reliable. Normal levels of IgE cannot rule out the possibility of developing allergies in the future. Some individuals may have elevated levels of specific IgE without experiencing symptoms of milk protein allergy. In some cases, minor discomfort may be experienced, while in others, more severe discomfort may be experienced. Proactive antibodies, such as IgG, may also affect various symptoms, which is individual.
Note: Quicktest milk allergy test does not make a diagnosis; it is used to provide an indication. Always consult a doctor for further clinical investigation and diagnosis.
Symptoms of cow's milk allergy
Cow's milk allergy means that you are allergic to one or more proteins found in milk. Allergy to cow's milk can present with a variety of symptoms, and it is common to have several symptoms simultaneously. Some common symptoms of milk allergy include stomach pain, diarrhoea, vomiting, blood in stool, poor weight gain, loss of appetite, swollen lips and face, hives, and eczema. Most people with cow's milk allergy have several different symptoms at the same time in connection with a reaction.

In simplified terms, milk allergy (also called cow's milk allergy, cow's milk protein allergy, etc.) is caused by the body's immune system reacting to proteins in milk products. Lactose intolerance is caused by the inability of the intestine to break down milk sugar (also called lactose). Lactose intolerance is not an allergy; it is an enzyme deficiency.
Milk allergy is common in early childhood, but it can also affect older children and adults. Many people have milk allergies without knowing it.
The Quicktest Milk Protein Allergy has no age limit, but a self-test is not suitable for use in children under 3 years of age. This is not due to reliability but to the procedure of how blood collection is done. If your child is under 3 years old, you should contact healthcare.
It varies from person to person; some can consume small amounts of milk without noticeable reactions, while others may need intensive care in the hospital after the same milk intake. Common symptoms of milk allergy include stomach pain, diarrhoea, headache, itching, eczema, swollen lips and face, shortness of breath, and vomiting. However, the most common symptom is generally poor digestion.
No, the only treatment is to eliminate milk and foods that contain milk.
The Quicktest Milk Protein Allergy self-test has shown good comparison results with laboratory tests. However, this self-test should not be used for diagnosis but should be used for a preliminary indication. A licensed physician should always make the diagnosis.
Allergies are becoming increasingly common, the cause of which is disputed, but is likely influenced by the environment, lifestyle, and modern diet. Children with many siblings have also been shown to reduce the risk of developing certain allergies. Performing a so-called "skin prick test" is done by an allergist, and is normally only carried out in the event of an allergic reaction or if a parent has a confirmed allergy. A self-test can provide an indication of whether there is a specific allergy to, for example, milk proteins.
