I just started my dairy/soy free diet in the hopes that my daughter's eczema starts to improve. I switched to almond milk, dairy/soy free butter spread, paid attention to the bread ingredients. Have you found any surprising items that have dairy or soy? I'm trying to be as good as possible w this but I'm not sure I know all the products or ingredient names to be careful of. Tia! Also-please tell me my cheese cravings will subside !

Re: am i missing hidden dairy or soy?
Soy can be any kind of vegetable oil/margarine or any kind of "natural flavorings" mentioned on a package and guar gum. Honestly, most packaged foods have soy hidden in them somewhere.
ETA: when we removed soy (which he later tested as allergic) and strawberries, peaches, grapes/raisins from my son's diet (he's not allergic to the fruits but they cause eczema for him), his eczema went away completely. I can always tell when he's eaten something he shouldn't have because that's the only time he gets it.
The McCorrmick spaghetti packages have dairy! I didn't realize it for the longest time and felt like such an idiot!
Hang in there!!
I usually go right to the organic things in the market because they typically have fewer ingredients and less garbage that I can't understand or pronounce.
