Frequently asked questions

CMPA is an immune-mediated allergic reaction to proteins found in cow’s milk.

Food allergy involves the immune system, while intolerance does not involve immune-mediated reactions.

IgE allergy causes rapid reactions, while non-IgE allergy usually causes delayed symptoms.

Symptoms may include eczema, vomiting, diarrhoea, reflux, wheezing, constipation, irritability, or feeding difficulties.

Referral may be required for severe symptoms, poor growth, suspected anaphylaxis, or complex allergy presentations.

The microbiome influences immune system development and may affect allergy susceptibility and tolerance.
