As someone with lactose intolerance (like 75% of the world population), I long ago learned to always eat antidote before eating food from someone else, because it’s most likely poisoned. It’s amazing how people find ingenious ways to put milk and cheese in things that shouldn’t have it and don’t sound like they would. Reading the ingredients isn’t enough because “Mushroom sauce” may well be 98% cream with 2% mushrooms. And it won’t tell you that low-fat sausage may be 5 times as much lactose as regular sausage due to the fillers. I can’t imagine how bad it would be for someone who’s actually allergic. If I had an actual dairy allergy, I wouldn’t even try a restaurant.
