A month or so ago, after a 10-day stint with diarrhea, I called my daughter's pediatrician. The phone nurse recommended culturell. So, as an obedient parent, I go right then to Walgreens & get the culturell.
I get home, open the capsul & sprinkle the powder onto a banana. I start to feed it to my girl (who had started to take a bite) when it dawned on me to double-check the label. I made my girl stop & my eyes went right to whey.
I did a major finger sweep. And my husband & I proceeded to squirt water in her mouth while she spit it out into the toilet.
Gees.
Then, after a week of laryngitis & unexplainable bumps around her mouth, I finally thought to look at the chapstick that my daughter had been sparingly smearing on her mouth for that time period. About 1/2 way down on the list of ingredients is HYDROLYZED MILK PROTEIN. So I have basically been smearing milk on my girl -- who is EXTREMELY allergic to milk. Great. Thanks Avon. Wonder if they would reimburse my co-pay to the pediatrician Monday... because I was so concerned about her lack of voice.

Oh geez. I'm glad at least Avon lists it. I got a few of their items recently and checked and called. Nothing was listed and she's been ok - of course the stuff was for me not her. :)
I'm glad you caught the Culturell. I have seen that one has dairy. We give our girls Pro Bio Gold from Kirkman Labs and it is free of the Top 8. They get it daily now.
I was surprised by milk sometimes being in inhalers.
you say the truth. i love that.
