Is Lactose Intolerance a Milk Allergy?

In a word, "No".

Many people confuse lactose intolerance with an allergy to milk products, but these are fundamentally different issues.

In both cases, your body doesn't do well will dairy products, but it's for different reasons.

With lactose intolerance, your body can't break down the milk sugar lactose, and you feel sick as your body does whatever it takes to get rid of the lactose.

With a milk allergy, lactose is not the issue. You actually have an allergy to the protein structure of milk. You can take lactase enzyme pills all day long, but it wont stop your allergic reaction to dairy products.
