Cow’s milk allergy (CMA) is one of the major causes of food hypersensitivity in children. The clinical features of CMA express as immediate symptoms, ranging from mild local reactions to life-threatening anaphylaxis., which may involve the skin (eg, urticaria and eczema), respiratory tract (eg, asthma and rhinoconjuctivitis), gastrointestinal tract (eg, vomiting, diarrhea, and colic), or systemic anaphylactic shock. Cow's milk contains more than 25 different proteins that are among the best characterized food allergens. Among these proteins only whey proteins alpha-lactalbumin, beta-lactoglobulin, bovine serum albumin (BSA), and lactoferrin, as well as the four caseins, have been identified as allergens. A study evaluated cow's milk allergens…

Classic Galactosemia is the first and more common form of the disorder. This is the form when the affected has a complete loss of the enzyme. Both parents must contribute a galactosemic gene for a child to receive this very deadly form of the disorder. Because the body has none of the enzyme needed to turn galactose into glucose an accumulation occurs that is like a poison and is highly fatal. Classic Galactosemia is treatable through a strict diet of absolutely no lactose or galactose. Some common foods containing these are dairy products, legumes, breast milk,…
