People who don't have a science background often have difficulty understanding autoimmune diseases. I have Celiac Disease and an allergy to casein. What happens is that when I eat gluten it triggers a reaction in my body which results in my making an antibody to glaiden, which is a part of the small intestinal wall. I am not allergic to gluten, it just triggers the autoimmune reaction. Over time this damages the small intestine and results in my having  trouble adsorbing foods and the damage allows undigested food to get into my body. One fo the partly digested foods that gets into my body this way is casein (cow's milk).   My body makes an antibody to the casein and I get an allergic reaction. I get indigestion and swelling in my ankles but another person might get hives or some other allergic problem. I have read that some people who have gone on a gluten free diet and stop further damage to the small intestine will be able to eat some of the foods which they became allergic to because as the intestine heals it won't allow food allergins to get into the body.
Hope this helps.
