[edit] Organic milk?

Went ahead and deleted this: "It should noted that there are different types of milk, and most of the information in this page relates to the consumption of conventional milk from grain fed confined cattle. Milk from organic grass-fed pasturing cattle actually reduces allergies and promotes good health." If milk proteins are the allergen the cow's food shouldn't change anything.--Fisher4.wemo (talk) 03:07, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Expert

I am not 100% on this article, I am just curious what an expert opinion would state about this article. Yanksox (talk) 17:04, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

I was thinking that the Milk allergy page needed some work when you added the expert tag. I have a severe anaphylactic allergy to milk and a lot of information from FAAN (Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network) about milk allergies. I was also thinking of adding a section with differences between lactose intolerance and milk allergy. I also noticed that food intolerance redirects to food allergy, so I was going to write a food intolerance article. Since they are very different conditions, I thought it was a bit misleading for it to redirect to food allergy. I'd appreciate if you replyed with your thoughts. jf 17:22, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
I'm a little confused. I wasn't proposing a redirect. I just cleaned it up and added an expert tag. Yanksox (talk) 17:25, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
Oh yes, but whenever you added the tag, I became excited and thought of more things that needed fixing. Just curious what you thought. jf 17:29, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
I don't know too much about the subject, and I tried my best to clean it up. It does seem a little messy and confusing. It does need some revamping, I say go for the gold as long as you can prove it. Yanksox (talk) 17:30, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
I'm a scientific copywriter on the Act Against Allergy project, an interactive communication program about child food allergies. All information in the website is supported by official references (scientific literature and clinical studies) and you can access detailed content in the Act Against Allergy website. Allergies of all kinds are increasingly becoming common in industrialized countries, so it's important to increase the awareness and knowledge about this problem in the community we live in. For the same reason I've introduced a paragraph on “Cow milk allergy” into the article on "Milk" because we know there is a significant difference between an intolerance and an allergy, and I'm going to introduce a similar content in "Cow Milk Allergy" article (I'd like to restore it as Cow Milk Allergy, to differentiate from other milks, like goat milk etc.) --Angelopas 10:55, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
I'm not sure that we should restore "Cow milk allergy" and create "Goat milk allergy" and however many other types of milk there are. Goat's milk and cow's milk both redirect to milk, and it seems that if you made multiple articles, the information would be largely redundant. I suggest keeping the article at milk allergy and maybe adding a paragraph about the different types of milk. I think what we should mainly focus on is adding to the article and bringing it up to standard. cøøkiə Ξ (talk) 14:48, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Connection with beef allergy

So, is beef allergy more common in milk allergy sufferers than in the general population? The current text suggests it but does not say so explicitly. Zargulon 19:40, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Yes, much more so--see the cited reference for more info. Asbruckman 20:58, 11 September 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Dairy allergy

Should we rename this page 'dairy allergy'? And have a redirect from 'milk allergy'? Asbruckman 20:58, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Oral Immunotherapy Trials for Milk Allergy

I think the current clinical trials for oral immunotherapy at Johns Hopkins University (and I believe, Duke University) should be mentioned in this article under treatment. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.246.79.102 (talk) 01:20, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
