~*~*MSPI Moms Weekly Check-In*~*~
Welcome! This is a check-in for moms who are/were on a dairy free and/or soy free diet due to their LO's intolerance. The check-ins will be posted every Monday morning on the Breastfeeding board and XP'd to the Food Allergy board. I will RP a link to the check-in on the Breastfeeding board on Monday evenings for the nighttime posters, if the check-in isn't on the first page of posts. If you'd like to join the group, just post an intro here and dive in!
To check out the archive of our previous check-ins, please see the MSPI Moms Blog.
QOTW: How was everyone's Christmas? Were you able to make dairy/soy substitutes for your favorite dishes? Anything that came out better than expected? Anything in particular you missed having?

Re: ~*~*MSPI Moms Weekly Check-In*~*~
Christmas at my Mom's went pretty well. She prepared the ham and potatoes so I could have them. I brought a salad and Scotcheroos without the chocolate. So the only things I had to avoid were the deviled eggs and the pies. I didn't really miss them.
Christmas at the ILs was another story. I reminded MIL several times that I couldn't have dairy. So what does she cook? Turkey basted in butter, twice baked potatoes with sour cream and chives, dinner rolls that she pre-buttered, and then she bought a frozen banana cream pie with chocolate ganosh and a sour cream apple crumb pie. The only thing I could eat was the jello salad I brought and an apple I found in her fridge. I was a fun day. But I survived and LO giggled and grinned through the whole ordeal so that made it better.
Christmas went pretty well. We hosted so that was easy. The party at my Grandparents was tough though. I have a huge family and they all don't know so they kept trying to get me to try things and I'd have to explain. If I just declined they went on and on about it's ok b/c it's the holidays and acted hurt. Eventually I just started lying and saying I had already tried it and it was great.
There was a whole table of amazing looking deserts and I hated that the only thing I could have was fruit. I did end up trying something on Christmas but I couldn't tell if DD had a reaction or not b/c she got a cold too.
My brother and SIL hosted Christmas Day. My mom brought turkey, gravy, and blueberry pie I could eat. I really wanted the lemon meringue pie and brownies everyone else ate, lol!
I do feel like maybe DD2 is turning a corner though. I've been eating a few packaged things with dairy/soy here and there, and I haven't noticed any reactions. I'm really hoping to be able to add more to my diet, so I can bf her for a lot longer. She'll be 1 in a few weeks. I really need more calories to continue bf'ing and stop losing weight. I'm hoping there's light at the end of the MSPI tunnel!
