Question:

You seem to use, "intolerance" and, "allergy" interchangeably. I thought that intolerance to, for example, cows milk protein was something separate from allergy. I wonder if you could explain this.

Question:

Under lactose free milk in the first paragraph it says a baby who is truly intolerant to this milk protein will fail to thrive from birth and show obvious symptoms of malabsorption and dehydration.I believe this is not referring to LACTOSE which was rightly described as the carbohydrate in milk in the bit under soya formula.
