My understanding is lactose intolerance is when the stomach cannot break down the enzymes. Milk allergy is when your nose runs, sneezing, rashes, irritability, the works.
I nasal irrigate and no longer have milk allergies. I can eat anything I want to with milk in it and no problems. If he truly is allergic to milk, milk is in everything. Pepsi! Anything with caramel coloring has milk in it, casseinate- a milk product--found in a lot of packaged seasoning, anything with "LAC" is milk, like lactate, lactose. I used soy milk as a substitute. Many items may say Dairy free--don't believe it. Veggie cheese is dairy free- but has casseinate in it---a milk product. Good luck
I swear by the nasal irrigating, turned off my milk allergy overnight.

?s about son's new testing 
Peanuts 5/5, whole eggs 5/6,and cow's milk 4/5. He loves a spoonful of peanut butter (he wasn't happy 
). My question maybe stupid, but I have to ask it: Is a milk allergy the same as lactose intolerance? I'm the only reason he doesn't drink a gallon of milk a day (remember, he's 14 and has grown 5" in the last 5 months) as it is we still go through about 6 gallons a week. He has never 'shown' any sign of allergic reaction to any of the food that he tested positive for.......Are there any good subsitutes (sp?) for milk? any suggestions would be great, thanks, Tracy 
The one problem I'm having accepting this is...He is asthmatic, diagnosed (sp?) @ 1 yr, we have seen reactions..........He has never shown any kind of sign when eating any of them or combination of them.....No stuffy nose, watery eyes (or my personal favorite) hives.......I guess I need to do some research and will try the irrigating....he does that occasionally during football or baseball season if he gets a snoot full during practice......................Thanks.... ..........T
