They provide building blocks for your body and are found in milk, yogurt, cheese and many processed products. If you react sensitively to these, we often call it <strong>cow's milk intolerance<\/strong>. This is different from <strong>lactose intolerance<\/strong>, because lactose is a <strong>sugar<\/strong> and no protein.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/details>\n\n  <details>\n    <summary>\n      <svg class=\"chevron\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><path d=\"M9 6l6 6-6 6\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\/><\/svg>\n      <h2>What is the difference between cow's milk intolerance and cow's milk allergy<\/h2>\n    <\/summary>\n    <div class=\"answer\">\n      <p>At <strong>cow's milk allergy<\/strong> does your <strong>immune system<\/strong> on the protein and this can be quick and severe. Think rash, swelling or tightness in the chest and this requires medical attention. <strong>Cow's milk intolerance<\/strong> is a <strong>sensitivity reaction<\/strong> without a clear allergy test.

Also <strong>fatigue<\/strong>, <strong>headache<\/strong>, <strong>skin complaints<\/strong> and a <strong>concentration dip<\/strong> occur.
