It is more common in Africans, African-Americans, Native Americans and the Mediterranean populations. Paleo Recipes are lactose free.Milk Allergy: Milk allergy is a reaction of the immune system to one or more milk proteins. The immune system mistakenly creates antibodies to fight the milk proteins. The antibodies create chemicals in the body that can result in skin rashes, headaches, nausea and or wheezing.
