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.

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.
