Just a note to those going dairy free:  It does get a *lot*
easier after a while, especially once you've found some
staple foods that are dairy free: bread, margarine,
crackers, cookies and a favourite brand of soya milk.
Hang in there.
Now I only check labels when I can grocery shop without my
son.  The rest of the time I buy things I know are dairy
free and double check them when I get home. (Fortunately I
don't have a life-threatening reaction either).
