And it's surprising how many things can slip by.  People look at me strangely
when I take my pills, even for dishes they don't consider dairy (like
spaghetti sauce, mashed potatoes, etc.).  If it has milk, butter, cheese,
yogurt, cream, etc., someone who is dairy sensitive or intolerant needs to be
warned.  While most people don't have life-threatening reactions, being
doubled-over in pain when you wanted to have fun is no fun.

P.S. Linneah, ask you doctor about fillers for pills.  I have been doing some
research and two fillers that are often used are gluten and lactose.
