Milk allergy is distinct from lactose intolerance, which is a nonallergic food sensitivity caused by the lack of the enzyme lactase in the small intestines to break lactose down into glucose and galactose. The unabsorbed lactose reaches the large intestine, where resident bacteria use it for fuel, releasing hydrogen, carbon dioxide and methane ...
A small fraction of the population is allergic to casein. [44] Casein intolerance, also known as "milk protein intolerance", is experienced when the body cannot break down the proteins of casein. [45] The prevalence of casein allergy or intolerance ranges from 0.25% to 4.9% of young children. [46] Numbers for older children and adults are not ...
A gluten-free casein-free diet (GFCF diet), also known as a gluten-free dairy-free diet (GFDF diet), is a diet that does not include gluten (found most often in wheat, barley, and rye), and casein (found most often in milk and dairy products).
Worldwide, around 65% of adults are affected by lactose malabsorption. [5] [8] Other mammals usually lose the ability to digest lactose after weaning. Lactose intolerance is the ancestral state of all humans before the recent evolution of lactase persistence in some cultures, which extends lactose tolerance into adulthood. [9]

Reported symptoms of NCGS are similar to those of celiac disease, [30] [31] with most patients reporting both gastrointestinal and non-gastrointestinal symptoms. [29] [32] In the "classical" presentation of NCGS, gastrointestinal symptoms are similar to those of irritable bowel syndrome, and are also not distinguishable from those of wheat allergy, but there is a different interval between ...
For eight months, the man had been following the carnivore diet — a high-protein, no-carb plan that focuses on eating only animal products, especially meat, eggs and some dairy; and excludes ...
Coeliac disease (British English) or celiac disease (American English) is a long-term autoimmune disorder, primarily affecting the small intestine, where individuals develop intolerance to gluten, present in foods such as wheat, rye, spelt and barley. [10]
