The Official Adam Pascal Love Thread, part six — Page 84

Lexi, you sound like the shopping type, clearly, so I would say try to save some of that money so you can indulge in dorm room stuff. Dorm room shopping is a lot of fun - I'm really into decorating and making my room homey.

Em, I bought Rice Krispie Treats from the store earlier. I refuse admit how many I've eaten already, but homemade is always better.

I loveeee rice kripsies. (And for once, I'm actually online when Anthony posted).

I don't like Rice Krispies. But I can sit and eat the whole container of white powdered doughnuts if I don't stop myself. Thank god for my fast metabolism.

I have to eat home made ones because the store ones have milk in them.

No Target here.

If you're going to do your dorm shopping once you get here, I have many recommendations

I loved dorm/house shopping. My parents, however did not. I won't get to do it this summer though as I'm moving back home. Maybe my mom will let me paint my room again.

I painted last summer, I love not living on campus. Ok, I'm off for food now, talk to you later.

Are you severely allergic? Can you eat products that have milk byproducts in them, like whey? I would imagine that it would be very difficult to avoid all foods with milk products in them, but I suppose it's not so bad once you're used to it.

Hee! We have the basic Target and the like here... yeah, not too fun.

Anyway, I re-read Adam's MySpace blog entry for whatever reason and it put a smile on my face. No, he can't form sentences, but I can't read "Maria" with a straight face anymore.

If you can't even read it with a straight face, you'll be doomed seeing The Sound of Music tonight!

is being allergic like being lactos intolerant?

No, it's not the same. Lactose is a sugar that just happens to be in and derived from milk. So lactose intolerance is exactly what it says -- you're intolerant to the sugar. For the majority of people who are lactose intolerant, their intolerance means they get sick to their stomach, or something, if they eat dairy, but only from the sugar, not the dairy itself. You can take pills for it, too. So if someone who's lactose intolerant pops a pill, they can eat what they want. They can also drink lactose-reduced milk

An actual allergy is a high sensitivity to the thing itself -- so to the proteins that make up milk itself. Usually food allergies are characterized by anaphylactic reactions, which are basically respiratory reactions, but they can affect the whole body. Depending on how bad your allergies are, you can get hives, itchy/swollen lips, itching in your mouth or throat, your throat could close, or in the worst cases you can go into something called anaphylactic shock, but I'm not sure how to describe that. If you know anyone who's allergic to bee stings, it's kind of the same thing.

So, no, SD, I can't eat any dairy products or by-products at all. Or anything with them in it, no matter how small the amount.
