# Allergen Profile, Food−Milk

> This test measures the level of IgE antibodies in your blood that react specifically to proteins found in cow's milk. It helps show whether your immune system identifies milk as harmful, which is useful for investigating symptoms like hives, digestive upset, or swelling after eating dairy. This analysis helps distinguish a potential milk allergy from non-allergic sensitivities like lactose intolerance. However, this test alone cannot predict the severity of an allergic reaction or diagnose specific digestive disorders.
