I've been allergic to dairy for just over ten years now, and you couldn't pay me enough to drink soy milk. Do you guys have rice milk or almond milk over there?

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.

So far we're getting by with goat...it'll do, but its nothing s good as cow :/

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.
