Özet
The prevalence of food allergies has been on the rise recently, manifesting in various systemic symptoms. This report presents a rare case of acute pancreatitis in an adult triggered by cow's milk allergy. Although few reports exist linking different food allergens to pancreatitis, this case underscores the importance of considering food allergies in the differential diagnosis of gastrointestinal disorders, beyond typical symptoms like urticaria, pruritus, vomiting, and diarrhea. Allergy patients presenting with only gastrointestinal symptoms may be misdiagnosed as having food intolerances such as lactose intolerance.
