Special formula may help diagnose milk allergy vs intolerance in infants
NCT ID NCT07687797
First seen Jul 07, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a partially digested whey formula can help doctors tell the difference between a non-allergic milk intolerance and a true cow's milk protein allergy in babies. Infants aged 1 to 6 months with digestive symptoms will receive the special formula. The goal is to see how many actually have intolerance rather than allergy, which could lead to better diagnosis and treatment.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could help doctors quickly tell whether a baby has a milk allergy or a less severe milk intolerance, avoiding unnecessary treatments.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study. The special formula may not clearly separate the two conditions, and results may not apply to all infants.
