The list of symptoms in grey are often associated with a dairy allergy. It can be quite difficult to link the symptoms to a specific allergen as the severity of the symptoms vary and it might only show up a day later when the food is well-absorbed.  Diagnosing these symptoms in babies or small children can be even more of a challenge as they cannot verbalize symptoms like itchy throat or body aches.
