Can Bone Pain Be A Sign Of A Food Allergy?

I am wondering if bone pain can be a sign of a food allergy? I know that I can not drink milk because it makes my stomach sick. Also chocolate makes it so I can not breathe so well, and it seems like my throat gets all thick. I still eat cheese, and yogurt though because they do not seem to make me sick. Whenever I eat them though, I get the worst pain in my bones, especially in my shoulder. It might be a coincidence, but I am just wondering if this could be a sign of an allergy?
Allergic reactions often cause body swelling and inflammation so its entirely possible that you’d feel pain or arthritis type reactions to eating something you’re allergic to.
Milk may or may not be an allergen for you though. Its possible that it makes you sick due lactose intolerance. Cheese and yogurt would have less lactose in them, which may be why you tolerate them better.
It is possible though to have lactose intolerance and a milk allergy.
You may want to see an allergist to get tested. If it is an allergy, its better to know now.. so you can stay away from milk. If you’re allergic and keep eating it, the reactions would only get worse and may become life threatening at any moment.
Chocolate does sound like an allergen for you, so the chances of you having other allergies is greater.
depends on where it is
If you get pain in your shoulder after eating, you probably are having a problem with your gallbladder – this is a very common sign with the gallbladder – it is called “referred pain”. I would be getting your gallbladder checked. It does not sound like an allergy.
