He is now 13 months old and we are still breastfeeding. It's been a long year. It is fantastic that you have caught it early, it took us 6 months to catch it and 3 more months to get it all under control. </p> <p><a href="http://www.intolerantoffspring.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.intolerantoffspring.com</a> is a great recipe site. I just found a great recipe for hummus quesadillas which was delicious. I like hummus on bagels (albertsons bagels have no dairy or soy). I survive on lots of protein. We also go to whole foods were I can get coconut and rice yogurt, loads of dairy free quick foods and daiya dairy free cheese. Daiya is expensive but very tasty.</p> <p>My sons gastro wants us to try dairy and I have found that I like a lot of my replacements way better than the dairy. I used to get a cheese free pizza and it was way better without the cheese. </p> <p>I miss some ice cream and the convenience of not having to check everything. But having a baby who isn't high maintenance is totally worth it.</p> <p>Good luck! You can do it and it is totally worth it. Feel free to complain to me. It is a tough life and sometimes it seems really lonely. I know I didn't have much support while going through it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-has-a-dairy-protein-allergy-what-the-heck-do-i-eat#post-175558 Thu, 31 May 2012 22:00:30 +0000 runsyellowlites 175558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: For sure! I had to omit ALL dairy from my diet when I was a teen b/c lo and behold I'm allergic to dairy protein &amp; had protein deposits in a knee injury... I REALLY couldn't eat anything then. lol</p> <p>I only know about the dairy/soy stuff b/c I've pretty much lived on kellymom.com since starting to ebf. =) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-has-a-dairy-protein-allergy-what-the-heck-do-i-eat#post-175556 Thu, 31 May 2012 21:58:08 +0000 mediagirl 175556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: interesting! Not a mom yet so don't know much about kids allergies. Glad you knew about the soy allergy! And awesome that you only need to look out for the big dairy items! That is huge! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-has-a-dairy-protein-allergy-what-the-heck-do-i-eat#post-175549 Thu, 31 May 2012 21:54:17 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 175549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The up-side is that I was below my pre-pregnancy weight with all my restrictions! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-has-a-dairy-protein-allergy-what-the-heck-do-i-eat#post-175545 Thu, 31 May 2012 21:52:32 +0000 runsyellowlites 175545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: OMGosh that would be SO amazing! I've never been to good at thinking of things to cook and recipes anyways so now that I'm restricted I'm having even more trouble... especially with always wanting MILK! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-has-a-dairy-protein-allergy-what-the-heck-do-i-eat#post-175538 Thu, 31 May 2012 21:49:41 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 175538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: I was just going to encourage you to stay away from soy too :) Over 50% of kids are cross reactive, so very smart of you to avoid!</p> <p>I'll have to dig out all my resources, but I have recipes, website links, etc... Guess I have to go back to WB to dig them out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-has-a-dairy-protein-allergy-what-the-heck-do-i-eat#post-175534 Thu, 31 May 2012 21:47:27 +0000 runsyellowlites 175534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks ladies! I think that since I've been dying for a glass of milk and some cheese for 4 weeks now I've just been unable to see all my options. lol I do certainly miss all my mexican food though =(</p> <p>@mediagirl: Thankfully DD's allergy is only a slight one so omitting all "obvious" dairy has been enough! phew! I was told that many times lo's with a dairy protein allergy also react to soy protein so I've stayed away from soy milk out of fear.... DD is already a temperamental baby so I don't want to risk a day of that making things worse. =/</p> <p>I do know one thing for sure... we'll be eating ALOT healthier now that I have to be more mindful of what I'm eating =) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-has-a-dairy-protein-allergy-what-the-heck-do-i-eat#post-175463 Thu, 31 May 2012 21:09:58 +0000 mediagirl 175463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think everyone made great suggestions already. I would say you should research hidden dairy items. For example, almost evey bread on he shelf has dairy in it. Lunchmeat can be contaminated wih dairy when sliced. Bakery and artisan breads usually don't have dairy in them. </p> <p>Pasta salads are great. Mayo based items saved me when I was off dairy. Oh and soy chocolate milk? Delicious! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-has-a-dairy-protein-allergy-what-the-heck-do-i-eat#post-175247 Thu, 31 May 2012 19:15:13 +0000 singingbee 175247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a friend that had this problem. I think she ate some pasta?!? Or maybe she didn't because when she weaned her son, she had her favorite meal which was bacon ranch chicken pasta. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-has-a-dairy-protein-allergy-what-the-heck-do-i-eat#post-175245 Thu, 31 May 2012 19:13:43 +0000 yoursilverlining 175245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It shouldn't be too bad to do in summer with all the fresh veggies and fruits available. Grilled meat and a couple types of veggies. Whole grain based salads (farro, brown rice, quinoa), or bean salads, or greens salads with fruits/nuts/avocados/etc. Pasta with red sauce (marinara or spicy). Fried rice. Stir-fry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-has-a-dairy-protein-allergy-what-the-heck-do-i-eat#post-175194 Thu, 31 May 2012 18:56:01 +0000 spaniel 175194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely try more Asian foods! Season with spices and/or soy sauce instead of cheese. DH went without dairy for YEARS, it's very do-able. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-has-a-dairy-protein-allergy-what-the-heck-do-i-eat#post-175165 Thu, 31 May 2012 18:44:16 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 175165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I should definitely finish my MSPI post! I had to do no soy, no dairy, no sesame, no egg, and some other things I can't remember for a long time.</p> <p>I ate a lot of avocado, pork, I found some interesting dairy free recipes during my time away from it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-has-a-dairy-protein-allergy-what-the-heck-do-i-eat#post-175060 Thu, 31 May 2012 18:05:08 +0000 heffalump 175060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dh cant eat dairy so I'm pretty used to it too. I make a lot of chicken dishes and we usually eat it with rice and veggies. Also meatball subs with no cheese, chicken burgers, pasta with red sauce. </p> <p>What kind of things do you normally eat? I usually can make whatever food I want and just omit the cheese. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-has-a-dairy-protein-allergy-what-the-heck-do-i-eat#post-175053 Thu, 31 May 2012 17:57:09 +0000 chopsuey 175053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>pastas minus the cheese, protein--fish, other seafood, chicken, steak, pork, burgers, hotdogs. rice dishes, asian food is good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-has-a-dairy-protein-allergy-what-the-heck-do-i-eat#post-175048 Thu, 31 May 2012 17:53:43 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 175048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did no wheat or dairy for a month and am still off dairy (LO has eczema).</p> <p>Think asian food? Lots of stir fries and such. I also do lots of meat and veggie meals. BBQ.</p> <p>I miss cheese so very much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-has-a-dairy-protein-allergy-what-the-heck-do-i-eat#post-175043 Thu, 31 May 2012 17:49:44 +0000 runsyellowlites 175043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So DD has a dairy protein allergy and since removing all obvious dairy from my diet (4 weeks) things have gotten alot better, BUT I have NO CLUE what to make for dinner! I've basically been snacking on small things, pb&amp;j and sandwiches because so many of the things I used to make had SOME KIND OF cheese or something in it.</p> <p>Any other moms have to omit dairy from their diets, what did you eat? </p>
