[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two of y kids put me through this.  [b]the good news is that it passes and they both are 100% cool with dairy/soy in their diets now.[/b]
I'd recommend:
Earth balance for "butter"
Almond milk or coconut creamer/milk for coffee
I ate a LOT of hummus
My Ped said goat milk was ok, so I made mac and cheese with goatmilk
Coconut milk ice cream or sorbet
good luck![/quote]
I'm the 13:39 poster - while most kids outgrow milk/soy protein intolerance (MSPI, a non-IgE allergy), not all kids do.  Our allergist thought DS would be able to tolerate at least 1 of the 2 by now, but he still reacts very strongly to both.

Goat's milk has been known to also cause reactions in kids that react to cow's milk, so I would avoid it, but you might feel otherwise. [/quote]

I'm the PP you quoted and I should have clarified - we didn't have a true dairy/soy allergy, just a "sensitivity" - I had two babies with huge gassy bloated bellies, hideous stinky farts, skin rashes, constipation, and RAGE. Oh the rage.  So when my guys outgrew it, it was more like their bodies could finally handle it rather than outgrowing any actual allergy.  Don't want to mislead you if your DC has an honest to god allergy.

Also, I kept the diet up for 15 months for each DC.  Towards the end I started cheating here and there - like I'd eat dairy baked in bread or cookies and then started putting parmesan cheese on things...heaven.

On the up side, I was the skinniest I'd ever been in my whole life despite eating anything that I wanted.  That, coupled with the big nursing boobs, was pretty sweet![/quote]
