Hi Angela. I believe my son was not blood tested for ALL milk proteins. He
was tested for lactose, alfa/betalactoglobuline. It was clear he was not
allergic for alfalactoglobuline, but as not all proteins were tested, I
just have exclude all dairy products from my sons diet. I do not believe
there is another name for this protein.

Hope I've been of help,
Erica
