Lactose Intolerant

[musicotb]

Hi! So, I am lactose intolerant. It's really bad with milk and ice cream, and getting worse with cheese. I can usually take a digestive supplement before dairy products, but I like to order whatever I can dairy-free. The big thing I'm worried abotu is cheese. I know that I can request shredded or sliced cheese off most things, but what about when it is mixed in things? Like, I really want to filet mignon at LeCellier, but I noticed they typically coem with cheese mashed potatoes - will they make accomodations for this? Or give you another option? Thanks!

If you call the restaurant directly the you go there and tell them about your lactose problem they will almost always make accomadations for you by either making you taters w/o cheese or giving you the option to pick another side item.

I should let you know that Lactaid makes those dissolvable in you mouth tablets now, which are convienent for travel. I have a milk intolerance (Only milk and ice cream) and take them with me everywhere.

Also cheese and dairy from goats and sheep do not bother folks that are lactose intolerant. It's only cows milk. It has something to do with the inability to digest the enzyme produce in the milk itself.

Good Luck,

Jane

You amy also want to call the Dining reservations line to get more info, direct phone lines to the restaurants.

I'm also lactose intolerant (I swear by Digestive Advantage pills, btw) and for one trip I had it noted on all of our PS's and the restaurants were very accomodating. At the buffets for example, the chef will usually take you around and point out what is off-limits and will even offer to make a dairy free version for you. I also found that most restaurants will offer rice dream for dessert, Boma even had a brownie flavored Soy Delicious ice cream for me for dessert! Believe me, I ate very well that trip even w/out the dairy!
