weegee had kindly linked up all the dairy, gluten,egg free recipes posted on here so there are some yummy baking treats.

I use the crazy choc cake recipe all the time.

I am a big cheese lover so going dairy free was hard for me.

Dairy free made no difference to Jakes reflux at all! But he is lactose intolerant. Here is a list of things of hand. As there is no allergy I only eliminated things that contained dairy, but if it was made in a factory that had dairy so traces might be found etc I still eat those.

vanilla soy milk (so yum on porridge or in coffee)
olivani spread
pams choc chips
corn cruskits
weight watchers salt and vinegar or plain chips


Gosh at this late hour thats all I can think of!

I eat nuts and fruit as snacks, make my own sauces for meals... I even substitute aoili on my home made pizza instead of cheese YUMMO

Simply dairy free is quite simple, there are so many substitutes out there as people stated above. We've gone additive & preservative free as well so that rules out anything in the cold shelf at the supermarket.

I have opted not to use soy as some dairy reactors also react to soy, dunno why but just do, so we use rice milk in everything!

If you still want mac & cheese, just make a white sauce & instead of adding cheese add in one teaspoon of salt & voila cheese tasting white sauce I love cheesy creamy stuff & this has made my week discovering this.

If you have melted butter in a recipe just substitute the same amount of oil for butter.

I just made a chocy cake today ( on page 545 or 6 in the Jan 2009 thread) It's yum ]]> Tue, 12 Jan 2010 20:56:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30931&PID=894790&title=anyone-with-a-dairy-free-diet#894790 <![CDATA[Anyone with a dairy free diet?? : yum soy chai lattes!! i could...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30931&PID=894709&title=anyone-with-a-dairy-free-diet#894709 Author: gypsynita

yum soy chai lattes!! i could never drink soy straight, but as a latte or mixed with complan is great and it got to the point where i didn't like the taste of normal milk any more. Plus, like the others have said, it is really easy to use in baking and cooking instead of normal milk.

there's a fantastic chocolate cake recipe i used a lot that is dairy free - pm me if you want it, it was a hit with everyone i know! Sophie someone (the destitute cook i think she's called) has some good recipies where she gives you alternatives if you are dairy or gluten free.]]> Tue, 12 Jan 2010 20:05:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30931&PID=894709&title=anyone-with-a-dairy-free-diet#894709 <![CDATA[Anyone with a dairy free diet?? : What everyone else said along...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30931&PID=894178&title=anyone-with-a-dairy-free-diet#894178 Author: tishy

What everyone else said along with have a look at the Manufacturing Food Database to look at food that has no dairy in it.

We are wheat, dairy and tomato free in this house for a combination of reasons between DD and DH. Once you figure things out it gets much easier.

There's also rice milk as an alternative to soy, I love soy milk as long as you get around the idea that it doesn't taste anything like normal milk its ok. You could always start of with the flavoured ones - like chocolate or vanilla to get used to the taste.

The hardest part with milk is what its added to, a lot of flavourings have milk in them and so do some breads. Helps to check the packs.

Soy lattes are yummy, shame they cost 50c more though. Soy ice cream is also ok, I never got on with the milk but then I didn't stick at it long enough.
All our meals were already modified for Spencer, we basically just eat meat and veges and I use rice milk in baking.

Green tea I find tastes nicer with out milk than normal tea, and coffee I just had to drink when out as I can't stand it black.

I also have not gone back to eating as much dairy as I use to, I pretty much no longer eat yoghurt or cheese even though Kyle no longer reacts to it.

Oh and breakfast I have porridge made with water instead of milk, it doesn't really taste any different and it's good for boosting milk supply too.]]> Tue, 12 Jan 2010 13:45:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30931&PID=894168&title=anyone-with-a-dairy-free-diet#894168 <![CDATA[Anyone with a dairy free diet?? : I like Whittakers Dark Chocolate...it&#039;s...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30931&PID=894164&title=anyone-with-a-dairy-free-diet#894164 Author: minik8e

I like Whittakers Dark Chocolate...it's dairy free. And like everyone else has said...Olivani or Olivite instead of butter/marg etc. I'm more lactose free, than dairy free so I use lactose free milk rather than soy (I don't like the taste, except in my soy hot choc from a cafe!!). Also, most chicken flavoured things have dairy products in them - chicken chips, frozen chicken bits etc.]]> Tue, 12 Jan 2010 13:39:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30931&PID=894164&title=anyone-with-a-dairy-free-diet#894164 <![CDATA[Anyone with a dairy free diet?? : I have been diary-free for about...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30931&PID=894042&title=anyone-with-a-dairy-free-diet#894042 Author: squoggs

I have been diary-free for about 12 years now, as anakk said, it is pretty easy to substitute things. Haha you're lucky you dont have to drop gluten too, that really sucks!

I know that people find soy milk tastes gross, but you do get used to it - I prefer it now. Its easy to use in cooking etc too. What to eat - lots of fruit & veges, for snacks - hummus on crackers, dinner veges & meat etc. The only thing I have trouble avoiding is chocolate - but my guts reaction is a good reminder of why I can't have it! and the dark chocs are pretty good. ]]> Tue, 12 Jan 2010 12:15:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30931&PID=894042&title=anyone-with-a-dairy-free-diet#894042 <![CDATA[Anyone with a dairy free diet?? : Is this is this a rhetorical question?!...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30931&PID=894009&title=anyone-with-a-dairy-free-diet#894009 Author: scribe

Is this is this a rhetorical question?! Anything except dairy! Olivani instead of butter, soy milk instead of cow's milk. I found it helpful to reward myself with treats like licorice, dairy-free chocolate (the Trade Aid dark choc is good), a soy mocha when I was out.

You get used to it. I'm not BFing any more so I can eat dairy again but I've lost the taste for it a bit. I still have vanilla chai soy in my coffee. My skin is definitely better for it.]]> Tue, 12 Jan 2010 12:01:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30931&PID=894009&title=anyone-with-a-dairy-free-diet#894009 <![CDATA[Anyone with a dairy free diet?? : What do you eat??

I'm trying to go dairy free because of my reflux baby. I don't know what the hell to eat though. lol. So much food has dairy in it!]]> Tue, 12 Jan 2010 11:40:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30931&PID=893975&title=anyone-with-a-dairy-free-diet#893975
