Actually, I'm not allergic to milk, just lactose intolerant. Milk allergy is completely different from lactose intolerant.
Lactose intolerant means my body doesn't have the enzyme to process the lactose in milk. This is why my body reacts and sends me to the washroom if I have it.
Milk allergy on the other hand is like having any other food allergy. Just as a person with a peanut allergy eats peanut will have an allergic reaction and die if they are not rushed to the hospital in time, a person with a milk allergy will face the same thing if they drink milk.
I'm pretty sure an allergy testing won't turn up anything since I am actually not allergic to it, but I do believe there is a test to see if a person is lactose intolerant so I guess I should make an appointment with my doctor for that.
