Yeah because lactose intolerance is not an allergy. People with a milk allergy can also get anaphylaxis

What, you mean having diarrhea or gas isn't the same as having your airway close? Ridiculous.

The last time I drank a glass of milk before bed, I woke up wishing for the release of death, if that counts.

I'll allow it.

I'm lactose intolerant and I have a dairy allergy. Good times!

I can imagine it would be hard to maintain lactose tolerance with a dairy allergy.

My kid grew out of his dairy allergy, and now is lactose intolerant. He’s happy as can be that he can have real ice cream, and accepts the consequences, now that they’re not deadly

Lactose tolerance is the ability to process a particular sugar. Allergies are adverse reactions to specific proteins.

My guess is that most people (from lactose tolerant populations) with dairy allergies are probably lactose tolerant, it's just not useful to them.

I was lactose intolerant first (and still am, probably), but yeah, definitely.

Well i'm allergic to my cat but i don't die, just suffer. So maybe i'm just catose intolerant.

(And yes i still pet her knowing i might have itchy eyes or skin.)
