I know, I'm kinda confused, but this is what my sister's son's doctor
has presctibed. Butter, cream OK, no milk products. Apparently it
hasn't been a problem thus far folliwing those regulations, so if she
says that's the way to go, I'll stick to it. I guess maybe some of the
better butters havre no milk solids? i'll check the Plugra.

Thanks for the info, though. I agree- I figured no dairy at all for a
milk allergy.
