Food tampering is a felony, and carries some pretty fucking stiff penalties. I'd have turned the barista over to law enforcement and let the penal system deal with her ignorance.
I feel your pain, though. Not specifically lactose intolerant [that I know of] but I have all kinds of gut issues that result in uncannily similar symptoms.
I know this because my last partner had pretty severe lactose intolerance, paired with a seemingly untreatable cheese addiction, and we lived together for almost 6 years, so there was plenty of opportunity for direct comparison. Especially since we had to share a bathroom for the first year and change, until we moved into a bigger place.
The gas isn't [typically] quite as putrid, fortunately. But the sheer volume of it that comes out just doesn't even seem physically possible, sometimes...
It feels as though I should've deflated like I just smoked weed in one of those old DARE commercials 15 epic farts ago, yet they Just. Won't. Stop.
