Today, when a milk allergy is suspected, tools exist to confirm the diagnosis. In most allergies, for the presence of specific antibodies (IgE), witnessed the disruption of the immune system. It passes through the skin tests (Prick Test). A Serum IgE may also be achieved.

But for milk, there are often delayed reactions, which do not depend on the same mechanism. In this case, the screening tool is the simplest patch-test is simply a kind of blotting paper soaked in milk that are stuck on baby’s skin. We leave 48 hours, and you can check for skin reaction.

Preventing  allergies?

Among infants at risk, whose family has a history of allergy (milk or other allergens), it may be useful to prevention, to avoid awareness of the child. Some experts propose to remove during pregnancy groundnut (highly allergenic foods). This measure is not based on proven scientific evidence, but strong presumptions. And then remove the peanuts during pregnancy should not cause a lot of deficiencies.

Then, it is recommended that infants are exclusively breastfed for 4 to 6 months. In this case, it is again advised the mother to avoid peanuts. But if breastfeeding is not possible, there are a range of hypoallergenic milk which can be offered (but they are more expensive and are not reimbursed.). Attention soy formulas should be avoided in children during the first six months.

Regarding supplementation, it should not occur before six months of age, and certain foods should not be introduced until sometime: not until a year for eggs and fish, and not before 4 to 5 years to peanuts and nuts (not cosmetic sweet almond either).
