Order Casein Allergy Test | Milk AllergyA casein allergy test measures the immune system's response to casein, the dominant protein in cow's milk. Because casein makes up roughly 80% of the protein in cow's milk, reactions to dairy are often reactions to this specific protein rather than to milk as a whole. Identifying a casein-specific allergy can help clarify which foods are safe and which are not.
About Casein Allergy Test | Milk Allergy in Frederick
Casein is a family of proteins that gives cow's milk its structure and much of its nutritional profile.
Casein accounts for about 80% of the protein in cow's milk, with whey making up most of the remainder. It is also the protein that curdles when milk is acidified or treated with rennet, which is why it appears in cheese and many processed foods.
An allergy to casein is a true immune reaction, distinct from lactose intolerance. Lactose intolerance involves the digestive system and a shortage of the enzyme lactase, while a casein allergy involves immunoglobulin E, or IgE, antibodies that recognize casein as a threat.
This test uses a blood sample to measure casein-specific IgE antibodies. Results are reported as a level that, alongside a person's history and symptoms, can help a clinician assess whether a casein allergy is present and how it should be managed.
