Allergic to dairy?
I'm just curious.
All my life every time I eat ice cream, eat cereal, drink a shake or a smoothie, I ALWAYS start coughing and clearling my throat multiple times for like fifteen minutes after.
All of these things have dairy in them.
So I'm thinking I might be a little bit allergic?
I get link a pinching in my throat that makes me need to cough or clear my throat. It;s not like a break out in hives or my throat puffs up so I can;t breath.
So if I am allergic, it's extremely minor enough that I can still consume dairy products.
But like I said, I'm just curious, do you think I'm allergic?

My boyfriend is alleric to dairy products and when he was younger his reactions were almost deadly but now he gets what looks like a black eye if he drinks milk. There's many differenty reactions so I suggest having your doctor do an allergy test

Do you get kinda mucous-y? Because that's a fairly common thing.
Dairy products make your saliva thicker. That'll make you cough and clear your throat.

Well, here is a site that talks about the symptoms of being allergic. It also mentions lactose intolerance.
The best thing I can say is to compare the symptoms. Some include:
Abdominal Pain
Acne
ADD/ADHD
Anxiety
Arthritis
Canker sores
Constipation
Diarrhea
Ear Infections
Fatigue
These seem way to severe for you to be allergic, in my opinion.
Here are the symptoms for lactose intolerance:
Intestinal cramps or discomfort
Gas
Bloating
Diarrhea
Again, these symptoms seem too severe.
The best thing you can do is to give your doctor a call. You don't even have to schedule an appointment (unless they say). Just mention your sympotoms and the nurses usually do try to help. That's what I do when I think something is up.
Best of luck :D

Almost no one is actually, technically, medically, allergic to dairy. There are lots of reasons for this I won’t bother going into but...
It's almost always what doctor’s call an ’intolerance’.
I have a few food intolerances but what you describe doesn't really sound like a standard response for a food intolerance. I’m sure it’s not a crisis, it might be an intolerance to dairy, or maybe some common preservative or other item in those dairy products. But I’d still say you should mention it to a doctor next time you go for a check-up. I don’t like the idea of taking chances with any medical concern that causes any kind of breathing difficulty.
