Newly Diagnosed Dairy Allergy - Help!

llpaddison · November 2011

So my breastfeed 1 month old was diagnosed today with an allergy/sensitivity (at least that's what the pediatrician thinks it is) so I've been instructed to cut out all dairy from my diet. I'm a savvy label reader (I work in food labeling), but am looking for resources for dairy-free living.

Any tips, resources, recipes that you can suggest?

TIA!

I really like the website godairyfree.org. It has lots of helpful information. The biggest challenge for a lot of people is learning how to read labels and what is "hidden" dairy such as whey and casein, but it sounds like you have a good grasp on that.

And Divvies makes incredible cookies/brownies/etc! This was my reward for giving up dairy

Just look for vegan recipes and vegan food. That's how I do it so that I don't have to read everything in the label.

Thanks for the tips! I think the hardest part will be developing new habits (and breaking the existing ones!). i made spaghetti and meatballs the other night - taking time to carefully read all the labels and then mindlessly dumped parmesan cheese all over it! I cried and settled for PB&J for dinner

So Delicious makes awesome dairy free products. I love the coconut milk (carton) yogurt made from coconut milk and the coffee creamers.

Some good vegan blogs to check out:
