If you suffer from symptoms like eczema, colic, acne, loose stools, bloating or sinus problems, you may have an allergy to dairy products—a condition that can be life-threatening for some.

Going dairy-free is not as hard as you may think, and it could even reduce your risk of other health problems.

What it is?

A dairy-free diet is much more than just avoiding lactose—the sugar in dairy products. Dairy contains more than 25 molecules that have the potential to elicit an allergic reaction. People with a true allergy to dairy need to eliminate all dairy products and dairy ingredients from their diet.

Many people without any allergy to dairy also choose to go dairy free (or low dairy) in order to reduce their intake of saturated fat and cholesterol or in the hope of avoiding migraine headaches, prostate cancer, ovarian cancer and some other conditions that have been linked with dairy intake.
