I'm sorry if I was unclear. Lactose isn't a problem, casein is. And the reaction is not anaphylactic, is is opoid. Basically since his body is unable to break down casein, protein peptides escape the intestine into the blood stream and cross the blood-brain barrier causing him to behave as if he has been injected with heroin. It is not pleasant and we avoid casein for this reason. ATM, we are not going to risk it because he bowels are in very bad shape. Thanks again Pam. I'm sorry if I was unclear.
