Whey Allergy Test

This IgE antibody allergy test uses a blood sample to determine if you are allergic to whey.

Whey is one of the two main proteins found in milk. It is found in the liquid part of milk that remains after it curdles.

If found allergic, the only way to prevent a reaction is by avoiding milk and whey proteins. Some people find that there are some foods with whey in it but they can still enjoy due to the form of milk it has. For example milk in baked brownies, some people can still digest it and not have any problems. Others may still have an uncomfortable reaction.

Symptoms of an allergic reaction to whey may include:

• Hives
• Wheezing
• Vomiting
• Runny nose
• Watery eyes
• Colic, in babies
• Coughing or shortness of breath
• Abdominal cramps
• Loose stools or diarrhea
• Swelling of the lips, tongue, or throat
• Itching or tingling feeling around the lips or mouth
