My almost 2 y/o is dairy intolerant. Now that she is starting to eat w/ the rest of us it is challenging to adjust our family meals to accomodate. I had sicovered many of these tips but I like how you laid it out, makes things feel so much more manageable. I am so excited to find out crecsent rolls are dairy free!!!! I never checked them, I just assumed the weren't. Another tip I have discovered, coconut oil is a good dairy free sub for butter if you don't want so much trans fat as shortening and margerine have. It is not rediculously expensive and it is close to the consistency of butter (as opposed to other oils) I use it in anything that calls for 1/3 C of butter or less. (I also use it to replace part of the shortening when larger amounts of butter are called for) I really love your recipes! Thank you so much for this. My almost 2 y/o is dairy intolerant.

I am vegetarian and my husband is vegan so we keep a vegan household. I've tried plenty of cheese substitutes and this is the best I've ever had. It's super yummy and it melts just like dairy cheese.

Our son had major issues with cow's milk. Since eating yogurt, which is all he eats now, he has had nothing but problems with eczema and skin rashes. No asthma yet, thank goodness. Once he starts eating normal foods, then I will be cutting his milk and yogurt consumptions back. But for now, they are what he lives on, poor kid. I also had to avoid milk and products made with milk protein when he was a baby. I wanted to breast feed him, and going milk free was the only way to do it. Here are a two websites that I loved and saved: http://www.peta.org/accidentallyVegan/ http://www.godairyfree.org/ I hope this helps other people too! I am wondering about this.

My daughter Alyssa is also allergic to dairy products, and we've been living as a dairy-free family for the last two years (and loving it!) So I just thought I'd share a few of our family's favorites. All are completely dairy, casein, whey, and trans-fat free! So Delicious Coconut Milk Beverages (Allyssa likes these even better than Silk!) So Delicious Coconut Milk Yogurt and Kefir (A delicious way to make sure everyone gets a healthy dose of probiotics. And they both in come in chocolate. Need I say more?) Earth Balance Buttery Spread (Has no trans fats and tastes verrry buttery) Purely Decadent and So Delicious Coconut Milk ice cream (By far, the creamiest dairy-free ice cream on Earth! And again, no trans fats.) Vegan Gourmet Cream Cheese and Sour Cream Alternatives (The best I've found) Soyattoo Whipped Cream (Comes in both rice and soy varieties, and in spray can or in a box you whip up yourself. I prefer the one in the box.) Daiya Vegan Cheeses (Their mozzarella and cheddar styles are very good on pizza, in burritos, and for making grilled cheese sammies. Very meltable.) Hope that helps!

People don't understand the list of problems an allergy can cause. It is so difficult on the person, and family. I will be praying for your family :) I hope you find out what is wrong soon.

We also use silk & many of the other things you mentioned. Thanks so much for this great, informative post! I just thought I'd add a couple of things we use that are dairy free. Parkay in the blue squeeze bottle has no milk/whey in it. Also Publix Carries So Delicious brand Ice cream sandwiches & Ice Cream. It tastes just like ice cream!! Anyway..Great Post! Amanda,

I have a 7 y/o with a peanut allergy. A lot of people don't realize that you have to read every label, every time. In the last six months, my 5 y/o has been miserable with nausea, reflux and stomach pain. We have been to Vanderbilt Gastroenterologists who really have been no help. Next week, I am taking her to the allergist that diagnosed my other daughter. I just want to know what is making her feel so bad. Great post! I have a 7 y/o with a peanut allergy.

My son asked me this morning if there was Wheat in his drink, and I said, "no". His response shocked me. Well, cows eat wheat, and then they make milk, so isn't there Wheat in my milk. Kids are smarter than we give them credit for! We limit his milk anyway, but we are switching everyone to completely dairy free now. It just causes too many issues. I try not to post my thoughts on the stuff, but I don't think it is healthy for anyone after all I have read. It is funny you should say that.

Thanks for sharing. You know we are gluten free, related to my daughter having Celiac's Disease. I just came across this video this week on there being gluten proteins in the milk, which I thought was interesting. Thanks for all these substitutes, as we may be having to remove dairy from the diet as well. http://www.glutenfreesociety.org/gluten-free-society-blog/devil-in-the-milk-damage-from-corn-gluten/ I know you have a lot of gluten free followers this may be helpful.
