Ok I've been vegan for around 3 years. My body sort of reacts badly whenever I have dairy (usually those "hidden ingredients").
For example, I had a bean burrito that was supposedly vegan, but I strongly believe there was cheese in the beans. Reason? Several minutes after I stopped eating it (I didn't finish cause it tasted milk-y) I start feeling my stomach in knots and I feel gassy/bloated (sorry TMI) and overall kind of "yucky".
I am pretty sure it's not because of food poisoning or anything, and this has happened before when I've had "non-dairy" creamer that has dairy in it, etc. etc.
I am wondering if there is anything I can do to alleviate the pain and discomfort in the event of "accidental dairy ingestion." I know prevention is key... After every incident I try even harder to read lables, ask questions, but STILL sometimes this happens.
Thanks for looking, I hope someone has a great suggestion!
