Casein Intolerant People And Coffee Shops

[kdonov2]

I am casein intolerant and also just got hired as a barista. We use the same milk-steaming wands for soy and dairy milk. All we do in between uses is turn the hot steam nob, wipe it with a wet cloth, then steam it again. Prior to this, I used to go to Starbucks often got lattes and mochas. I have never felt great after these drinks but just attributed it to all coffee. I am scared that all baristas share this practice. If I have to give up my steamed soy milk, I do not want to frequent these shops at all then because I could easily just pour my own damn cold milk into my coffee. Have you guys had problems at coffee shops? Do you think this cleaning practice is sufficient?

Thanks

I've definitely reacted to hot coffee drinks at coffee shops. I'm sure it's cc from the dairy. I typically just get tea nowadays-- I don't react that severely (just phlegmy), but it just kinda grosses me out.
