Not all children who are truely allergic( anaphylactic) to milk outgrow a 
milk protein allergy.  According to our allergist/pulminologist as they get 
older they usually "tolerate" milk broken down such as "whey" in a baked 
good and by the time they are adults will not react anaphylactically any 
longer to parts of milk that the protein has been broken down such as "whey" 
. But even if not anaphylactic(medical emergency) they would still be 
considered allergic and the symptoms will/can manifest themselves 
differently i.e. stomach upset, congestion, eczema etc.....
