(Last time I checked, there were no Lactaid pills in London, and no lactose-free milk in its grocery stores, making me think that people who have this intolerance would not get proper diagnosis or treatment.) Maybe he has travelled to a place where most dishes did not contain dairy (as is often the case in Asian cuisine)?<br /><br />There are also places where dairy products are usually made with active cultures, the traditional way, and therefore contain less lactose than most dairy products in North America (this is speaking for myself, though, and may not be pertinent for Adam).Améliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979366182990756619noreply@blogger.com
