Uhm...yes lactose does bother the "merely" allergic bc it's nearly
impossible to remove all of the protiens from the sugar.  Here is the
list of milk derived ingredients.  Bear in mind that not all are always
dairy, but can be.  Sometimes you have to check with the manufacturer or
go with the Kosher markings if it's labeled Parve.  This list is from the
No Milk archive files...
