Symptom 9. Headaches and Migraines
Headaches and migraines can also be symptoms of dairy allergies and milk intolerance. In dairy allergies, the immune system’s response to milk proteins may trigger headaches or migraines by causing inflammation and changes in blood flow.
For individuals with milk intolerance, headaches and migraines may be a result of the buildup of undigested lactose in the gut, leading to fermentation by bacteria and the production of gas, which can contribute to headaches.
To manage headaches and migraines related to dairy allergies or milk intolerance, it is essential to avoid dairy products and seek medical advice for appropriate treatment. Over-the-counter pain relievers may be helpful, but a healthcare professional should be consulted before starting any new medication. (8)
