Milk and Soy Protein Free Diet - Need Help!

for milk try rice or almond milk you can cook with them and drink them. My kids can't have raw dairy because of the milk proteins. Sorry I can't help a lot with the diet cause they can have soy.

Good luck and God Bless!

I had one baby who was allergic to milk, and on who is allergic to milk and soy. We used the Alimentum formula from Similac because it was just too hard on them to breastfeed. Also, I didn't make enough milk so I had to supplement. Both of my kiddos could tolerate the small amounts in processed foods as long as it was cooked and not raw.

Once we switched to milk, we use goat milk so that it will easier on their tummies. Maybe try goat milk stuff: milk, yogurt, cheese, etc. It tastes terrible, but kiddos like it. And you can get some relatively inexpensive stuff at Grocery Outlet and Trader Joes. I don't know about the soy, we just stay away from things that are made out of it as a main ingrediant and we seem to do ok.

I hope you can find something that works for you. Its a hard place to be! Good Luck!

My granddaughter is on a dairy free diet. It's not as easy as it should be. There is dairy in soooooo many things. So read labels before you buy anything. Even most maragines have milk in them, my daughter found one that did not. So read labels.

Have you looked into Almond milk? I have never tried it, but I've heard good things about it. :)

Can you clarify - are you looking for foods to feed your son, or are you nursing and you need to alter your own diet? Not quite sure what you need to do.

In any case, all fruits and veggies should be safe. All fresh meat should also be safe, so that will get protein into your diet. Read the labels of any processed/packaged meats very carefully, as nonfat dried milk is often used as a preservative.

I'm allergic to soy and have daughters who are allergic to wheat, milk, nuts and fish. We cook from scratch. Packaged and processed foods almost always have something we can't eat. The hardest part was learning to read labels because there are many names for milk, soy and wheat ingredients.

The only allergy my one daughter outgrew was to eggs. She and I have since become allergic to one or more new foods.

FAAN, the food allergy network was helpful to me in identifying allergenic ingredients, finding recipes and getting things like allergy bracelets and allergy info cards in other languages when we travelled.

Have you contacted an IBCLC? A good Lactation Consultant can help you eat right while breastfeeding an allergic baby. Switching to formula might reveal even more allergies!

If your son is allergic to milk and soy, why would that restrict your diet beyond dairy and soy?
