Being lactose intolerant is no reason to give up your job. If you were dairy ALLERGIC then I would say to find a new line of work.

Lactose intolerant is simply a problem with the protein, lactose. In most cases it means that you can take something like Lactaid and be just fine.

A dairy allergy means that you are allergic to all the proteins found in cow's milk. You can not have anything containing these proteins. Lactaid will NOT fix it.

I am also lactose intolerent and handling milk does not do any harm. But as your brain knows that you are lactose intolerant there are instances where the smell of it can cause nausea. This happens to me sometimes and is attributed only to my brain reacting to the smell in anticipation of what will happen if I drink it.

Chck out if it is a case with you. If you are disturbed with the smell of it, then try switching to a comfortable job, but if the smells don't annoy you, then why quit a stable job at which you are already doing good.

Of course you should! Its your job. Just take lactose pills to replace the enzymes your body is missing. It's a very common condition. It has been caused by the increased hormones and pollution in our food supply. You just have to live with it until the scientists come up with something more permanent.

Peace,

If your allergy to milk involves swelling or rash on skin contact or if when you drink milk your face, mouth or throat swells up and you have difficulty breathing you may be in danger of anaphylactic shock so you shouldn't do this job as you may inadvertently put spilt milk from your fingers to your lips. However if you are just affected by a mild stomach upset or maybe get bloated or achey when you drink milk with no swelling or difficulty breathing and no severe stomach cramps or vomiting it shouldn't be a problem to touch milk by mistake, so it would be safe to work as a milk man.

Yes of course. I too am lactose intolerant and I have a family who eat and drink dairy products. I handle dairy products all the time and I am fine. Remember to wash your hands though before you eat .

particular, you relatively can! and you ought to! Soy has an excellent sort of advantages over cow's milk...unsaturated healthful fat, and falvanoids, the two one among that are good on your heart! And, you would be comforted with tips from the undeniable fact which you're no longer ingesting cow juice!

I think you'll be fine just as long as you don't check the quality of the product you're selling first.
