Thread: Rice Milk or Soy Milk in Russian....?

Rockzmom - thanks for the tip! I'll look into that for sure.
Maybe it would work, I've never tried it. I just stick with food and dishes that I know are ok, and then use rice milk. But it's been hard on this trip.

This is the longest trip I've been on for ages and ages and milk is probably in at least half of all food around here. It would take forever to read all labels in Russian and try to understand whether it contains milk or not, so I've tried tried to stick with things I know. And my Russian is not good enough to be able to ask staff about it + they might not know or care to answer anyway. Different labels of food are used in Eastern Europe compared with Western Europe, it's been really hard - yesterday eve I must have eaten something that had a lot of milk in it, because the allergy kicked in quite badly.

What happens is; I feel like I have a terrible flu and headache, and it last for about a day.

Hanna, I would definitely consider stopping buying food in stores there, if I were you. Maybe you should turn to some cafes/restaurants instead, maybe at least there staff can understand basic English?
