I am lactose intolerant - I eat dairy foods, I have
diarrhea and a very irritable gut for a couple of days and
feel generally like I have the flu.  My son is allergic to
milk protein.  He breaks out in hives, his nose runs, his
eyes swell shut, he has a severe asthma attack and requires
immediate medical support to sustain life.
