Has anyone been diagnosed with this as an adult?
I have read that children often have the milk protein allergy and it can cause anal fissures, but it sounds like it is rare for an adult to develop this.

I have a milk protein allergy but don't think it's associated with my AF at all. Have had the allergy all my life (though when I was a bub was incorrectly diagnosed as being lactose intolerant - it was only as an adult docs & I figured out it was a milk protein problem after a ridiculous amount of pain and medical tests).
Have you been diagnosed as having a milk protein allergy? My bod can't deal with cow's milk and goat's milk protein but sheep's milk seems to be okay in limited amounts.

Thanks.
I haven't been diagnosed with a milk allergy...the doctor's aren't yet sure what my problem is....
I've just been trying elimination diets to see if one of them helps. When I was younger, I thought I might be lactose intolerant because I was the complete opposite of constipated. Never was once in my life until I was about 26.
I am also wondering about washing that area with soap. I didn't start that until I was about 26, so maybe there is a connection, though, that seems too easy.
