So excited! Found a great alternative to cow's milk!

I know, it probably seems overboard to be jumping for joy, but I have obviously been concerned lately about Arlo's allergies, especially his allergies to wheat, soy, and cow's milk.  I've been looking for an alternative milk that has similar nutritional benefits to cow's milk, which is why I wasn't especially excited about rice milk since it's so low in fat.  BUT, I was looking online today and found this product called Hemp milk!   It looks so great!  Very very high in nutrients similar to whole milk (including fat), but it also has omega 3's, 6's and 9's!  Hemp is also known to be free of any and all potential allergens, yeah!!

It comes in a variety of flavors too!  I can't wait to see if our local natural food store has it and if not, I'll be ordering some online.     Such a relief!

What a relief! I am really glad to hear that.
I was allergic to milk as a child too, and it was hard on my mom. Forunately, I was able to use soy.
You'll have to report back once he tries it and let us know how it works out.
GL!

Hemp milk is SO delicious. I wish I had known about his allergies - I would have recommended it to you! Whole Foods carries it, if you have that by you.?

Thanks!  If I can't find it at our local place, I'll definitely check out wholefoods (about 45 minutes away).
