Abstract

Cow's milk is a rich source of protein and all essential amino acids. The protein in dairy products helps in muscle growth and restoration. While, milk protein intolerance is a condition in which people's digestive systems, especially children, react to cow's milk protein. Cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA) is a common digestive and metabolic or allergic disorder with different levels of prevalence ranging from 2.5% during the first three years of life to 12-30% before 3rd months of age. It has been reported to go up to 20% in some countries. Within the first 12 months of life, CMPA typically manifests in infancy and early childhood. Cow's milk is one of the most common causes of food-induced anaphylaxis and esophagitis. Cow's milk enteropathy can be associated with prolonged diarrhea and failure to thrive. Esophagitis, electrical abnormalities of the stomach (electro gastro graphic), delayed speech, diarrhea and vomiting, and diabetes are other reported consequences of cow's milk protein sensitivity. However, sensitivity to cow's milk can be controlled and prevented by using different methods such as replacing cow's milk with camel's milk or heat treatment, etc.
