Does dairy intake cause asthma? botty: No, that's not true: Although someone with both a dairy allergy and asthma may experience heightened asthma symptoms if they consume dairy, dairy is not a root cause of asthma. artiefast: Glad someone did the research! botty: Asthma may be caused by a variety of other factors, including environment, having a family history of asthma and previous respiratory infections. artiefast: Well, looks like we can all breathe easy knowing that dairy isn't the culprit behind asthma!
