  1. there are many vegan Protein shakes that use wither hemp protein or ben protein etc. these are lactose free and a godsend to people who have lactose issues. You can find many of them online or your local Vitamin shoope or Vitamin Shoppe online. Good luck! I have picked up soy milk and I will definitely be changing my shake. Thank you. I didn't realize the powder could trigger it as well I absolutely LOVE Starbursts. Especially the pack of reds. It was one of my food funeral choices. I huffed a whole pack a day before starting my pre-op diet.I melt them at campfires like marshmallows. ..um yeah it's good
