Toddlers with milk allergies/dairy intolerance

My daughter has been sick on and off for 3 weeks (vomiting) and we are experimenting with eliminating dairy from her diet to see if that's the problem/an irritant.  She is addicted to milk and drinks at least 20 oz a day, so we are taking away a lot of calories from her diet...and she's small, so I'm worried.  So, what does your DC drink instead of milk?  We tried soy milk and she's not a fan at all.  Any other food suggestions would be great, too!

Thanks:-)

    Have you been to the doctor???  I wouldn't just remove a huge source of calories and calcium with the dr checking her out?  It could just be reflux and not dairy.  And the dr can prescribe special drinks for her if necessary to get all the calories she needs.

    DD drank Hemp Milk.  It came in vanilla, chocolate and regular.  It's sweet so DD loved it, and it's pretty loaded with good stuff.  We found it at our health food store in town, but you can also order it online.

    Ds drinks orginal silk soy. he is allergic to dairy and eggs, buyt I have to agree esp. bc your dd is small I would consult the dr before you just stop giving it to her.

    My kids drink vanilla soy.  As long as it has Vit. D and calcium in it, I think you are fine to switch (or call your Ped for a vitamin supplement).  You will know if it helps her anywhere from 3 days to 3 weeks, if it doesn't help then definitely go see your Ped.  Just make sure that she eats full fat everything else in her diet to make up for a few grams of fat that soy is lacking in comparison to whole milk.
