I have begun to read margarine labels and found that there is whey in it.

Found a margarine without it but it is hydrogenated.

Today I ate a digestive cookie and some hour and half later had a bright red
rash on my wrist and other itchy areas.  I am getting formally tested soon
but fear I may waste away if I cannot enjoy some processed foods.  I guess I
better pay more attention to the suggestions on this list.
I do appreciate reading other peoples stories (when I can find the time)

WINNING

Ever notice that people never say "It's only a game" when they're
winning?

\I'm relieved to read your post.  We too are in that gray area.  We
\avoid and
\try to educate people that there is hidden dairy in everything.  I feel for
\those that are anaphylactic because we can't keep track of all the trace
\diary.
\
\ The double edge sword to that is if someone knows we eat something clearly
\dairy but refuse something else they are skeptical.  We save up for an
\occasional treat.  Not ice cream or something blatant but maybe
\some cookies
\that are borderline.  It;s our choice to save up for that treat
\and work very
\hard for it only to be put down by a viewer.
\
\My daughters class is have a field trip to Pizza Hut to make their
\own pizza.
\It's a big deal and instead of miss it we are going to save up and
\go for it.
\We will be criticized that " how can we eat pizza if we are allergic to
\cheese."
\
\Again , we are just thankful that we've learned more about the whole thing.
\For the most part due to this web site.  We are also thankful to not be
\anaphylactic.
\
\And a final note, now that I'm pregnant with my third and last,
\I've noticed
\my tolerance has changed.  I can no longer 'cheat' as much as I
\used to.  The
\reactions are stronger and last longer.
