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

          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.

      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.)
