I did the thing where you tied a Mentos to a string and secured it in the cap with the string in the threads so that it goes off explosively when you knock the bottle over or throw it. That was a good bit of fun.

But gently caress, now I have to try that with little pouches of activated charcoal. If a Mentos will send a bottle rocketing 50' through the air I wonder wtf that would do.

I'd be interested in if charcoal did anything. There's a geometric limit in that the bubble needs to get big enough to dislodge from the nucleation surface and if surface tension of diet vs regular already changes the strength, its maybe already surface tension limited and I could see higher surface area media not necessarily making it better.

It worked great with sugarfree soft drink. We also used a tall glass rather than a bottle as the charcoal's rather powdery. Rather than gently dropping it in, we took a small fistfull and dumped it in there all at once.

But now you've got me thinking about limits for nucleation due to surface tension and whether we could increase it by adding detergent to the mix.

There's a few reasons. People who lie about a gluten allergy (or are delusional about having one) make the world more dangerous for those with Celiac's, since people are less likely to take them seriously. It also means the person with the 'undiagnosed gluten intolerance' gets to dictate where a group of people eat and then get sanctimonious about how healthy their food is, criticize what everyone else is eating, and promote other pseudoscience bullshit.

I work with these sorts of people. Back when it was cool to say that you are "Gluten Intolerant" I once had a person ask if the lobster was gluten free.

It was literally just a lobster. Not even butter. Just a lobster.

The easy way to deal with those people is to say "oh god no, it's almost entirely gluten" to everything they ask. let them wall themselves into their own little box of stupidity where they can only eat loving kale.

The positive side of the gluten free trend is the huge variety of products it brought to market which means celiacs can actually eat a bunch of food again. I would love for lactose intolerance to become trendy enough to get milk powder out of poo poo it doesn't belong in .

Lactose-intolerant adults can consume some amount of lactose without trouble. How much milk powder are you consuming to have problems?

I'm lactose intolerant to the point that if I drink a glass of milk I'll have painful, gassy diarrhea within a couple of hours, but as long as I limit milk or cream-based foods to small serves, I'm fine. Butter, cheese and yoghurt inherently have less (or less available) lactose so I've never had any issues with those.

Granted everyone is different but due to the way lactose intolerance works (undigested lactose makes it to the gut, is converted by flora into gas), I'm not sure how it could be that much more sensitive or severe.

Lactose intolerance isn't an allergy. If I had to guess I'm assuming she had a product that was reduced in lactose but not lactose free. That phrase isn't kicking anything back on Google, and lactose makes up 2-8% of milk by weight. You can't say something is gluten free unless it's been tested to be gluten free.

"This new federal definition standardizes the meaning of “gluten-free” claims across the food industry. It requires that, in order to use the term "gluten-free" on its label, a food must meet all of the requirements of the definition, including that the food must contain less than 20 parts per million of gluten. The rule also requires foods with the claims “no gluten,” “free of gluten,” and “without gluten” to meet the definition for “gluten-free.”"

Ultimately you just do the best you can and roll the dice, weird poo poo happens to food. My idiot coworker threw french fries onto my lunch plate today even though I'm mildly allergic to potatoes. You just kinda wish for the best, keep your meds around, and live your life.
I'm in the Netherlands so American laws against deceptive slogans sadly won't help much. This is the same reason why you won't find the phrase on google, it's paraphrased from Dutch.

And yes you're technically correct about the difference between allergies and intolerances but I don't know the word for intolerance-safe food so I went with hypo-allergenic because everybody knows what that is.

My grandmothers boyfriend is alergic to milk. This is different from lactose intolerance, and he cannot eat, or drink, anything containing milk, or a milk derivative.

This causes some problems, as there are alot of things that are lactose free, but still contains milk. LIke most chocolates.

You have no idea how sensitive some people are to it. Before we realized it, my wife had me try a smoothie she made with whey protein powder. It felt like a hole was burned into my stomach, and I puked harder than any other time in my life.

It's just better for me to avoid it entirely.

Yeah that doesn't sound like intolerance. What was the timescale on that stomach pain? Lactose intolerance takes an hour or two to take effect, feels like intense cramping in your intestine and leads to gassy diarrhea, not vomiting.

Edit: for what it's worth, that sounds like the reaction my stepdad had to cheese, but he could eat other dairy just fine.

Nooooope. Not even worth trying. I don't mind cutting dairy, I just wish it wasn't in all kinds of stuff that it doesn't need to be (granola bars, chocolate, etc.).

About 2 minutes was all it took to make me puke. Cheddar cheese gives me crazy heartburn but doesn't make me vomit.

I never wanted to be this way :( . I used to drink a lot of milk growing up, but had to stop when I hit about 24.

There is only one use for powdered milk. Edible play dough. 1 part peanut butter, 1 part powdered milk, 2 parts Corn Syrup, 2 parts powdered sugar.

Yes, it is bad for you regardless of allergies. It does let you play with your food though. You can make figures that you can eat.
