    -So Delicious coconut milk yogurt
    -Rice Dream Vanilla or Coconut Milk Unsweetened when I need to bake/cook with milk
    -Premium Select Chocolate Sorbet (any sorbet really, but this one's great)
    -Earth Balance dairy/soy free butter
    -Daiya shredded cheese (dairy/soy free)
    -Enjoy Life brand chocolate chips/cookies/etc.
    -water for oatmeal and farina

    That's about it for substitutions. Take your time going through Whole Foods - there's tons of dairy free/soy free options for just about anything you want. I found a lot by reading some blogs which focus on finding substitutions - google "dairy free soy free substitutions" and you'll get a lot of information.  It takes a bit to get used to...and I have a loooong list of what to eat on my first day back to dairy, but I treat it like alcohol while pregnant - just something I have to do without for now....

    I have been dairy/soy free for three months now, and I agree with everything that PP said.  I have been eating 2 packets of Quaker Apple Cinnamon oatmeal in the mornings (because most of the other flavors have milk in them...like the brown sugar flavoring..UGH).  For lunch I usually eat a sandwich of some kind with regular kettle cooked chips (most of the flavored chips have soy or milk).  Then for dinner I eat a protein, steamed veggies and a potato.  The Earth Balance "butter" is awesome, but I have not had the same experience with the rice cheeses...they just do not melt the same.  The Enjoy Life cookies are my favorite and a great treat at the end of the night.  Just think positively...if you do the dairy/soy free thing the healthy way then you will probably lose your baby weight pretty fast!!

    Are you in the US Christine&Chris?  I checked Oreos and Duncan Hines in Canada (where I am) the other day and the cookies had milk and the cakes had soy.  I might have to send an order to my cousin in Detroit!

    Yep - Chicago. I know the Oreos here are...and with the Duncan Hines, it's only certain cake flavorings. I know for sure here the traditional Yellow Cake and Spice are dairy free.
