i've got to spend at least the next 5 months with NO DAIRY in my diet.
We performed a little experiment over the weekend which led to 4.5 hours of continuous crying and mucousy poop the next day :/ All i did was eat 2 butter croissants, some yoghurt and a cheese sandwich. Oh and a little cottage cheese. MEH.
So, that's me eating soya (ICK) or goat's stuff, until some magical time when her guts can cope with dairy proteins :/
Damn. Ah well, i did it for R and survived, but it wasn't pretty :/
Still, at least i can control / alleviate her pain by making a choice not to eat stuff... its an expensive annoyance, but i'd be so many more times crushed if i had to put her on formula...not to mention the expense!
Speaking of which, domperidone is a miracle, oh yes. God bless domperidone and savvy GPs who will give it out...

Both of those are , well, I guess you'd call them inoffensive. Whereas soy milk is... soy milk. Yech.
Benecol brand (again, don't know if it's available there) is about the closest taste to butter of any of the dairy-free margarines I've tried, and can be used for cooking as well as a spread, which many can't.
If she tolerates goat milk, then there are some pretty good goat & sheep cheeses out there (careful, though-- about 2/3 of the dairy-allergic are allergic to goat & sheep milk as well. I certainly am).
It sucks, but you sort of get used to it after a while. And, honestly, it's probably a healthier diet in the long run.

I'm using Pure brand dairy free marge. Its is solid at warm room temp, which is soooo wrong :/

Heh... someone needs to tell these producers that it's all about the public perception.
Hubby did the shopping last week and came home with a different, cheaper brand of rice milk, which is great. It tastes exactly the same... but they don't put titanium dioxide in it. So instead of being white, it's a sort of cloudy, translucent straw color.
It's driving me crazy.

I hope you can grit your teeth and cope with the manky soya or the goat's stuff. Your sacrifice will be worth it! :)

What about Rice Dream? That's the best brand of rice milk, IMHO. I first discovered it at a vegan milkshake shop in Toronto.

I'm using some oat stuff, and goat stuff. No rice here, though they sell it at Tescos...
