Miscellaneous Notes:
--------------------
Lactaid is NOT GF: Thank you to TCCSSG member Sara Brooks for
bringing us this warning: "While re-reading the article about 'Doing
Disney World GF' in my April issue of *The Sprue-Nik Press*, red flags
went up when I read how someone from Guest Relations at the resort
sent many gluten-free (GF) items including Lactaid milk to the room
for the celiac person. I recently (July 1999) inquired about Lactaid
milk being GF, and the representative said she '...could not guarantee
that Lactaid milk was GF.' This article unfortunately will have
misled many lactose intolerant celiacs into rushing to their grocery
stores to purchase this product. If you care to inquire yourself the
number is 1-800 522-8243."
