If you’d like to hear my conversation with Kristen Chase about raising a child with a milk allergy, please click on the little “blog talk radio” icon in the right column. Hopefully, I’m not too dorky sounding on the radio.

For anyone who would like to peek into our pantry, I’ve put together a list of our favorite milk-free “finds”. These are things that we usually have on hand for Belly (and often the rest of us). I’ve left off the obvious things like Soy Milk, apples or carrots. Rest assured, she is not living on Oreos and Tings, although she would like that to be the case.

Here is also a great site for lists of vegan foods (a valuable resource for those with milk and egg allergies).

* Always double check labels, and note that some items may be processed on equipment that has been exposed to milk. For us, this is not a problem, but it may be a huge issue for people whose children are severely allergic to milk. When in doubt, contact the manufacturer directly.
