lol! Yes, we'll blame you. It's all YOUR fault! 
It's always something, isn't it?
That's a shame you're allergic to coconut. I love coconut.
Do other cake companies use coconut solids, also?
You don't pay attention to these things until you have to.

Pretty much anything advertised as non-dairy uses coconut solids as thickeners, unless it's a 100% soy product.
The real pain is movie popcorn. That greasy tasty buttery stuff is made with coconut oil. :(

I'll email them as soon as I have enough time to actually write something intellegent, and not rant on half-asleep.
One of my best friends is lactose-intolerant. Luckily she takes medicine for it, but it's annoying. Whenever she has dairy without the medicine, she feels sick for a few days.
I feel worse for another friend of mine who can't have gluton. Basically that's stuff found in grains, wheat, etc. The only grain she can have is rice. Everything else makes her sick and sleepy. On top of that, she's vegan (by choice, because she's very enviromentalist). So it's really hard for her to eat like a normal person (no school lunches, no special foods, no donuts!)

Well, movie popcorn is soo greasy and loaded with fat. You're not missing much, I think. (Do you just sneak your own in? Because that's what I'd do. Don't tell anyone!
) This is interesting. I'm learning new things about foods! I never paid much attention to whether or not anything had dairy in it until I moved here to where my cousin lives. Now I scour supermarket shelves for the one kind of chocolate chips he can eat and snatch up the one kind of margarine he can have when it's on sale and rewrite my favourite recipes so I can make him cookies or brownies or whatever. And I forgo my favourite holiday treat, macaroni and cheese, because he can't eat it. It's a shame, I have an amazing mac & cheese recipe I only make for Thanksgiving.
Serenyty-fortunately there are lots of gluten free products to be found in health food shops. My grandmother was on a gluten free diet before she passed away. I found these rice flour pretzels that I like better than regular pretzels. They're tasty!
