Biology question for the day: Is it possible to be allergic/intolerant to milk but not other milk products (cheese/yogurt etc)?

I have absolutely no idea but I’m thinking the answer is yes for one simple reason. Someone else (I’m on mobile sorry) mentioned taking lactose tablets which meant someone could then eat more dairy and be fine. Whereas they don’t work for me. If I have any milk (or milk product) I’m so ill. So there must be multiple things about milk that people can be allergic to.

I’ve been violently allergic all my life so I don’t know the difference, so anything I say probably won’t be helpful. I drink my coffee black, eat cereal dry etc. If I cook then I use soya milk. That’s just normal to me. Whereas I guess if you tried to cut out milk you’d really miss it? *hugs you* I’m so sorry 🙁
