	Lactose intolerance isn't the same as a real milk allergy. I
have lots of trouble with lactose, but can eat hard cheese and milk
in things that are cooked, like baked goods. recently I met a fellow
who really is allergic to milk, specifically to sodium caseinate (sp.?)
which is the basic protein in milk. Whereas as I do things like throw
up when I drink milk, he breaks out in a rash, his eyes water, etc
(an histemic reaction). The funny thing is that we are both very pale,
blonde and blue-eyed.
