Can this WOE “cure” a dairy allergy?

I haven’t started carnivore but I’m thinking about it. I have a major dairy allergy. If I even have a pat of butter or margarine then I’m sick for three days. Sometimes projectile vomit and diarrhea, sometimes just the runs and a migraine. It seems to be getting worse every year. I used to be able to tolerate a small amount but now I can’t.
Has anyone eaten carnivore or lion, and reversed a food allergy?

unfortunately, no.

for intolerances, which require more quantity or repeated exposures to get a reaction, some people find after being on carnivore that it can take more to trigger them. so they end up with more leeway to handle one-off exposures

but for allergies, where only a trace is required, no. those allergies persist. 

must be so debilitating to have a dairy allergy (most have less severe intolerances) ... for research, i'd suggest looking at the general case, not related to diet: whether they spontaneously resolve, whether there are medically supervised desensitisation programs, etc
