Woman is angry at mom after she 'tricks' her into eating something she's allergic to.
When this daughter is mad at her mother, she asks Reddit:
'AITA for screaming at my mother after she caused me a reaction?'
I (20F) had recently gotten lactose intolerant. I'm not sure whether it's due to being food poisoned twice, or just developed on its own. Either way, I can't handle dairy as much as I used to.
I was never fond of dairy and my mother (54F) knew this. When I told her, she first thought I was lying to avoid cheese all together. I can still eat but it hurts like a bitch to stomach it.
I once accidentally drank my sister's coffee and forgot it had full fat milk; I ended up paying the price for 30 minutes on the toilet. Point is, I knew for certain I couldn't handle any type of dairy and those were confirmations to my mother.
However, a few days ago, my mother made lunch and said she used lactose-free cheese on the lasagna. I believed her and got myself a full plate of it (I love lasagna). I couldn't even make it halfway until I practically sprinted for the toilet.
My mother claimed I'm just 'not used to dairy anymore' so she suggested I eat more dairy so my body can work around it. I absolutely blew up on her and screamed in her face. My sister (22F) said I was being dramatic so I stormed off to my room.
I don't thinking screaming was the right reaction and I feel bad that I perhaps had been dramatic. However, I don't know if I can ever trust my mother again after that incident so I'm just conflicted rn. AITA?
Let's find out.

NTA. Dairy causes you physical pain and discomfort. She is literally harming you, for what? Her own self-satisfaction? To be able to say 'Ha, I knew it' to herself? I wouldn't trust her food after this, either.

NTA and I agree. I'm severely lactose intolerant, unless i have double digit numbers of Lactaid it doesn't do anything and it's not an allergy because I can eat anything lactose free. Lactose intolerance is so individual to each person.
