 Shirley,
This isn't always the case either. I cannot drink lactaid milk. It still has
too much lactose in it. Unfortunately, putting lactaid in the milk does not
get rid of all the lactose. If you are going to do it, then take the lactase
pills along with the milk. Thanks to all who informed me that the skin tests
were not completely indicative of milk allergy.
