Another condition that’s different from dairy allergies — but one with similar implications for feeding — is milk protein intolerance. In this condition, the digestive tract is unable to digest casein or whey, the two major proteins in milk. The major symptoms of milk protein intolerance are gastrointestinal — bloating, diarrhea (which may be bloody), vomiting and nausea. GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disorder) is also associated with milk protein intolerance. These symptoms may occur very soon after a feeding or may happen hours later.
