Maybe it is a yogurt allergy

Last night, we had Indian food delivered: lamb rogan josh, aloo paratha (potato-stuffed bread), and papadum (lentil wafers). There's a moderate amount of butter in the first two, so I took a lactaid tablet before dinner, and I was fine.

This afternoon I tried the next experiment: a moderate-sized serving of ginger ice cream, no lactaid. And no symptoms whatsoever.

I think I'm going to proceed with caution for a bit longer (notably in terms of keeping track of things), and will have to be careful of ingredients, especially with Indian food, but if it's a sensitivity to something in yogurt rather than to either lactose or milk proteins, it won't be hard to handle.

(I am currently well-supplied with cold cuts for breakfast.)
