What is a dairy allergy? Can I use Silk products if I am allergic to dairy?

0

Many people are allergic to milk (usually cow’s milk) or milk products. Dairy allergies are different from lactose intolerance. A dairy allergy is an extreme sensitivity to the proteins in dairy products, while lactose intolerance is caused by a lack of lactase enzyme, which helps the body digest dairy products. Dairy allergies can range from mild indigestion to anaphylaxis, which is life threatening. All Silk products are dairy-free, lactose-free and casein-free. None of our ingredients come from animal products, by-products or derivatives.

Many people are allergic to cow’s milk or milk products. The allergy is usually caused by an extreme sensitivity to milk protein. Allergic reactions to dairy can range from mild indigestion to anaphylaxis, which is life threatening. Dairy allergy is not the same as lactose intolerance (an inability to digest lactose, a natural sugar found in milk). While lactose intolerance can cause significant discomfort and requires careful diet management, it is not usually a life-threatening condition. All Silk products are dairy-free, lactose-free and casein-free. None of our ingredients come from animal products, by-products or derivatives. As with any serious allergy, those with dairy allergies should consult a physician before introducing Silk into the diet. Soy is also a known allergen so please check with your healthcare practitioner if you are concerned that you may be allergic to soy. Always consult with your health care provider before changing your diet particularly if you don’t believe
