There is a huge difference between intolerance and allergy. Milk allergy is an immune condition whereas intolerance is not.

Milk allergy is an abnormal response by the body's immune system to milk and products containing milk. 

Immune conditions can potentially be life threatening whereas intolerances are not.

Our allergy component testing may be a better option for you than our single allergy tests.
