Of course you can separate proteins and know which ones you have a reaction
to. It is a laboratory procedure where they test for antibodies to each
of this proteins in your blood. My son tested allergic to the three of
them (lactoalbumin, casein and betalactoglobuline) but you can be
only allergic to one of them (and it is the most common case) being
casein the most frequent.
