She is allergic to milk protiens (casien and whey, i.e. dairy), but she can have other cow products like beef which she loves. As far as we know, she has no problem with lactose because she was breastfed for over a year. Breastmilk is loaded with lactose but the protiens are sufficiently different from cows milk.
