| Milk Allergy |  Milk and its products are very often used in baking. However they can be easily substituted with water or juice. For instance, you can add 1 cup of water instead of 1 cup of milk in cooking.
At first sight avoiding milk is not difficult: you mustn’t eat dairy products. But it is not so easy at further studying. There are some hidden sources of milk which are also dangerous. They are:
• Some brands of canned tuna fish contain casein, a milk protein.
• Many non-dairy products contain casein (a milk derivative), listed on the ingredient labels.
• Some meats may contain casein as a binder, so check all labels carefully.
• Many restaurants put butter on steaks after they have been grilled to add extra flavor, consequently butter is not visible after it melts.
If you are extremely sensitive to milk you should pay attention to the mentioned above things.

Another common mistake about milk allergy is consuming goat milk. It triggers allergic reactions as well as the cow one.
The kosher things are not absolutely safe too. The Jewish community uses a system of product markings to indicate whether a food is kosher, or in accordance with Jewish dietary rules. So when you see a "D," or the word "dairy," on a label next to "K" or "U" (usually found near the product name) it indicates presence of milk protein, and a "DE" on a label indicates the product was produced on equipment shared with dairy.
If the product contains neither meat nor dairy products it is "pareve" (parev, parve). Pareve-labeled products point out that the products are considered milk-free according to religious specifications. Realize that under Jewish law, a food product may be considered pareve even if it contains a very small amount of milk. As a result, a product labeled as pareve could potentially have enough milk protein in it to cause a reaction in a milk-allergic individual.
Therefore, a product labeled as pareve could potentially have enough milk protein in it to cause a reaction in a milk-allergic individual.
On the other hand we can provide another list of things which do not contain milk and its derivatives:
o Calcium lactate
o Calcium stearoyl lactylate
o Cocoa butter
o Cream of tartar
The following products are completely safe for you and they don’t cause allergic reactions.
