Milk Allergy

I was sent to an allergist to try to determine what allergens were contributing to asthma (adult onset). The list of environmental allergies was long but when I asked about testing for food allergies they said it wasn't necessary because I would know by now if a food I was allergic to had sent me into aniphylactic shock. They explained that there is a difference between food allergy and food sensitivity. Certainly food sensitivity can cause you problems and you may want to avoid those foods, but it won't kill you.0

I'm slowly starting to feel better. We also discovered I have Hashimoto's Disease. I have lots of reading to do! Thanks everyone for your comments.
I have not had tests but I stay away from milk because of the yucky lactose feeling and because I did not grow up with it. Soy milk works for me.0
