Order Casein Allergy Test | Milk AllergyCow's milk contains a complex mixture of proteins, and casein is the most abundant among them.

This test measures IgE antibodies specific to casein in a blood sample, providing objective information that can help clarify whether milk is triggering an allergic response.
About Casein Allergy Test | Milk Allergy in Dana Point
Casein is a phosphoprotein that accounts for roughly 80% of the protein content in cow's milk.
Casein gives milk its white appearance and is the base of cheese production. It is distinct from whey, the other major milk protein group, and the two fractions can provoke reactions independently. Because casein is heat-stable, it survives cooking and pasteurization, so baked goods and processed foods may still contain it even when they seem unlikely sources.
Cow's milk allergy differs from lactose intolerance. Lactose intolerance involves the digestive system and a shortage of the enzyme lactase, while milk allergy involves the immune system and can affect the skin, respiratory tract, and digestive tract. Symptoms of a milk allergy may include hives, eczema, wheezing, vomiting, or, in severe cases, anaphylaxis.
A casein-specific IgE blood test is one tool among several used in allergy evaluation. Results are interpreted alongside a person's history and, when appropriate, other testing. An elevated IgE level suggests sensitization to casein, but sensitization does not always equal a clinical allergy, so a qualified clinician should interpret the findings in context.
