Unfortunately, true allergies often work like this. You can be asymptomatic
for awhile, or have mild reaction. Later on, and without a specific interval,
you can have the kind of dramatic allergic reaction that you described.
I know. I have had it happen twice to me, with different allergens. First,
to cats (after having owned and lived with a cat for almost 5 years without
symptoms). Then to bee stings. (Fortunately, never to dairy, although I'm
severely LI.)
I would say, your best bet is to follow aggressively with the allergist.
Good luck.
