Hi all,
 
I just joined this list and I'm thrilled that it's here.  I'm a 41 year old
female and lactose intolerant for about the past 10 years.  I have a few
questions.  What exactly is casien and does it effect a LI individual?  I
always read labels looking for "whey" and "lactose".  Is there anything else
I should look for?  I sometimes use Lactaid pills, taking up to 10 at a
clip.  Can this be dangerous?  When I'm eating out I guess I over do it with
the pills for fear of an "attack".  Many times I don't take the Lactaid
pills when eating at home and wind up pretty sick.  I was wondering if this
could cause some kind of damage to the GI system.
 
By the way, just a tip:  If a food product has the word "Parve" on its
wrapper, this is an indication that the item has absolutely NO milk products
in it at all.
 
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
