Milk allergy problem

For the third time since I was born, I've had a milk allergy which gives me really bad stomahc cramps and generally makes me really ill. Is there anything I can take to stop feeling this way? I had some milk this morning, not really aware that I couldn't have it and ever since then I've felt really ill and I still have the taste of milk in my mouth.
Also, is there another way I can get some sort of calcium in my diet? (Not sure if this is in soya milk, tbh)

Try sweetened soya milk as opposed to unsweetened. They just sweeten it with a little bit of apple juice and it really makes it taste a lot better.
its in fortified soy milk and rice milk.
you can get calcium supplements as well, avaliable at most health shops.
there are loads of ways of getting calcium into your diet.
you can get calcium into your diet by eating: tofu, green leafy vegetables, seeds and nuts - esp. in almonds and also in black molasses, edible seaweeds, watercress, parsley and even dried figs (- but dry figs taste horrible imo.)
i mean technically if you drink hard tap water, you can get upto 200mg / day through that. - you need around 800mg of calcium per day on average.
and a real easy way of telling if you are lacking calcium in your diet is to notice whether there are any little white marks on your finger nails - general sign of dificiency.
are you lactose intolerant or something similar?
anyway, hope that helps a little. i don't consume milk either.
and you don't need cows milk remember!
Have you tried Cravendale Milk? All the big super markets sell it and it's much more highly filtered then normal milk - maybe that might help? That is if it's more about being sensitive to the bacteria in milk rather then the milk itself -
Not tried the yoghurts yet - for some reason I'm able to eat yoghurt (and anything apart from milk) with milk it in - that is, I can't drink milk, but anything that has milk in it, I'm fine with.
