I'm curious if any of you who are highly sensitive to dairy have tried this (without allergic reaction)? My concern is, if this is made on shared equipment, the possibility of cross-contamination. In the FAQ on their web site, they say:
"In addition to our Lactose Free Vanilla and Chocolate, our non-dairy products are suitable for lactose intolerant consumers. These non-dairy products were formulated to exclude any of type of milk or dairy products and proper measures are taken to avoid any cross-contamination."
I have had no issues with products like these. It really depends on your sensitivity to minute amounts of dairy. The process for cleaning the equipment is sufficient for me.

I am pretty sensitive to lactose and I’ve had them without issue – through I prefer the Lactaid Ice Cream offerings (IMO, better taste). My other observation is, however, that whatever they do in the mfg, the ice cream is more prone to formation of ice crystals once opened – I guess the solution is to eat it quickly 😉
I finally tried some (their mint chocolate chip almond milk variety). I've had no visible reaction...but it's one of the least pleasing non-dairy ice cream substitutes I've had. Any of So Delicious's cashew milk ice creams is far better...but also several times the $.

Anyone tried this yet? I noticed their NY Cheezecake in a quick trip to Publix yesterday, and picked one up without doing any real research. They're in the frozen section. I noticed it had no kosher marking...but figured with all their stuff being vegan and "dairy-free" it was worth trying. I was about to contact them to ask about the lack of kosher certification on this product, when I looked at their FAQ and found:
We just tried the Key Lime Cheezecake. It's quite tasty.
No reaction, and I had some yesterday and another slice today.

I didn't have any reaction to the NY Cheezecake, other than maybe gaining a pound or two :) I've seen a couple of the other flavors in a nearby health food store, but have not yet tried them.

I wonder if these are going to be DE (i.e. no dairy ingredients, but possible "incidental" dairy contamination)?
On that topic, Girl Scout cookies are "in season" and I thought I'd read that several (including thin mints) were now dairy-free. I happened to walk by a table where they were being sold, and all of the non-dairy varieties were OuD / DE. Is anyone very sensitive eating thin mints? If so, which manufacturer? AFAIK, there are two.
For years, Smart Balance (in the smallest size tub) has been my dairy-free margarine of choice. Last time I looked to buy some more just a few days ago, I noticed that they seem to have reformulated it and expanded their product line. The Publix I was in must have had at least half a dozen different varieties of Smart Balance in that small size tub. The normal Smart Balance now has milk in it. IIRC, there was a Smart Balance Light and an Organic Light that were both still Ou, but my experience in the past with Smart Balance
Your supermarket seems late to the game. Or maybe we here in the Boston area (where Smart Balance was invented) are a test market? It’s been at least 2 years since we’ve seen the emergence of dairy-containing varieties (tubs, too). There are quite a few options, and one must be quite careful to look every time at the labeling, As for cooking, I agree - not the best but still adequate. When I *really* need a butter substitute, for baking, I have used the pareve Fleischmann’s Unsalted sticks.

I just read that several varieties of Girl Scout cookies are now vegan, but are still only Ou-D certified. According to the manufacturer's FAQ:
Do all Girl Scout cookies contain milk?
No. ABC Baker's Peanut Butter PattiesÂ, Thin Mints, Thanks-A-Lot® and Lemonades Girl Scout Cookies do not contain milk, although Peanut Butter Patties® and Cranberry Citrus Crisps are produced on equipment where products containing milk are also made.

Headaches and Lactose Intolerance versus Milk Intolerance
As many people are already aware, lactose is a sugar found in bovine milk and other dairy products. Lactose intolerance is when the small intestine either does not make enough or any at all of the enzyme lactose (aka - lactase), which the body requires in order to properly digest lactose.
I just received a message from a British visitor to my web site. Apparently some cows have been bred to make milk that eliminates the A1 variant of casein, leaving the A2 variant intact. My visitor says that her son, who has milk protein allergy, tolerates this milk, but not other cows' milks.
I recently saw the ads for Yoplait Lactose Free Yoghurt. Being skeptical, but interested, I waited til the weekend to try it - just in case of side-effects, I wanted to be home.

By now, if there were more than a trace, I'd be having symptoms, as I'm pretty intolerant. My wife tasted it and says it's as good as the regular Yoplait - never having been able to taste it, I'll take her word for

I was recently in a kosher foods store and picked up a bunch of bars of parve dark chocolate for "baking". I wasn't paying attention to the label except for checking for the parve marking and no warnings about possible dairy contamination...but it turns out, these bars use hydrogenated oils instead of cocoa butter. The result is, eating them is like eating chocolate flavored crisco. They coat your mouth/teeth, and stick with you for a long time.
Jon, Have you tried mixing dry baking cocoa with cocoa butter? I haven't, just thought of it, though. I forgot how sensitive you are to co- dairy equipment, but here's some chocolatiers: http://www.ghirardelli.com/foodservice/ (lists pareve or not) http://www.chocoley.com/kosherchocolate.htm http://www.cocoasupply.com/product_info.php?cPath=29&products_id=71
This one looks appealing. Their site doesn't seem to say, but others with what appears to be the same product do say that it's parve. I wonder if there's any cross-contamination possibility since Callebaut makes both dark and milk chocolates?

I have struggled with extreme dairy allergies while traveling in Western Europe. My best success has come by creating a card which I show to the waiter prior to ordering. I try to present the card immediately and ask for their recommendations. Sometimes the waiter involves the manager and/or chef. It says: I am very allergic from milk and milk products (butter, cream, cheese, etc.). Please do not let me order anything on the menu that contains milk.

I'm in that category.
There was a time when most of the conversations were between mothers about children with acute allergies and those conversations weren't relevant to me as my interest lies in lactose intolerance.
I'm still lurking here as well. I'm an adult with a severe dairy allergy - triggered by contact or strong inhalation as well as ingestion - who still likes to travel and dine out. I live in the US, in Pennsylvania.
In terms of this list, I'm most interested in tips, shared successes, and legal issues. I'm very willing to share what I've learned along the way with anyone who asks for help. And, it's sometimes nice just to hear from others, especially at those rare times when dealing with my allergy has recently felt isolating.

Trader Joe carries kosher-parve milk-free chocolate chips. We use them regularly, but our family allergies are NOT hair-trigger so maybe someone else would like to weigh in. (They're great in smores, which we even make in the microwave occasionally.)
According to my recollection, several grocery stores carry store-brand milk-free chocolate chips. I also recently came across some Baker's brand milk-free semi-sweet chips, but inadvertently left them behind on vacation so can't tell you about dairy equipment.

My son had a milk-free s'mores pie at summer camp that he absolutely loved. However, the baker has since left, taking the recipe with her. I've spent considerable time hunting for a recipe in my cookbooks and on the internet, but can't seem to find what he wants. Does anyone have a suitable recipe that you'd be willing to share? (I'll only put the recipe on my web site if you give me permission. My primary goal is to give my son a treat.)
I don't know about s'mores pie, but the way we do s'mores is take milk-free chocolate chips and push 4 or 5 into the marshmallow before you toast it. As the marshmallow is toasted, the chocolate melts and the soft chocolatey marshmallow is fabulous between two milk free graham crackers.

If you can find, either in bulk or in regular stores, PURE chocolate chips and not milk chocolate chips, then you can have fun baking again. Pure chocolate have cocoa butter (but it's not real butter) and soy in them but no milk. I find that they have a richer flavour than milk chocolate and I prefer them to milk chocolate. I bake with them....or just eat them!!

We use Food Lion brand semi-sweet and sometimes Great Value (Walmart) brand semi-sweet. Read the labels carefully. My daughter is extremely allergic (with immediately tingling of throat and mouth upon any dairy exposure), but she loves these and has not had any trouble. Bless you on your new journey. There is lots of help out there including this this so don't ever be shy about "butting in".

There are relatively few brands that produce strictly dairy-free chocolate chips. The only one I've been able to get recently is Tropical Source.

I really enjoy these discussions, they are so helpful!
My sister just gave her 1 year old milk for the first time; she has given her dairy in the past but not straight milk. Later that day her daughter started getting what seems like a cold, or allergies-- sinus problems, red and puffy eyes... Her husbands family all have allergies to plants, dust, mold..., and in Wisconsin right now everyone's are pretty bad. She is also teething, so the cold like symptoms could be related to either one. But just to be cautious she wants to try a different kind
Well, my son was drinking soy milk from a year onward. We have tried soy, rice and almond milk and they all vary in fat content. She could try that until she goes to the doctor. And to make sure that all the milks she buys are fortified; not all of the soy milks are fortified with calcium.
The reaction you describe does sound like it could be an allergic response, so you're absolutely right to support a consultation with the pediatrician, and perhaps an allergist, depending on what's found.
Just a thought ... your sister might want to hold off on weaning until after the doctor visit. The surgeon general recommends breastfeeding for at least 2 years, in addition to beginning feeding ordinary "people food" on a reasonable schedule. I understand that there are many reasons people choose to stop breastfeeding earlier, and I don't want to get into too much of that discussion here.
Yes, but if the child is allergic to dairy, and if there's a risk of a soy allergy too, the breastfeeding mother also needs to avoid the allergens as they will be in the breastmilk if the mother ingests them.
When I was nursing my milk allergic son, I also avoided dairy. It was a challenge, but I felt he was worth it.
My son was allergic to both milk and soy (now 13 and can have both). We just skipped any 'milks' and moved from breast milk to water (totally weaned at about 18 months). I added olive oil to potatoes and other foods, and added Calcium carbonate or calcium citrate powder to other foods for the calcium.

I can see how Subway can be safe. But my personal experience is that even for a non allergic person the cross contamination is awful. My subs always have some remnant of a toping I haven't ordered.
At Subway, we always asked that Mike's bread be cut from a new loaf with a freshly-washed knife on a clean surface. We have had courteous cooperation with this, at many locations in many states. The only exception, and it was a glaring one, was at the Six Flags Louisville park, where the young employees were clueless and rude, though eventually compliant. (I had to ask them if they'd like to risk having an ambulance pulling up in a bit.) That one was not a full-scale Subway location, but more of a kiosk, with a limited menu.
When my spouse and I eat at Subway or any other "sub" place, we also request that the person change their plastic gloves.
We've never had a bad experience with a Subway employee but once a customer complained because he felt the server spent far too long on our subs ~~ it was false perception on that customer's part ~~ that was this past New Year's Day and the customer had miles to go and was likely panicky ~~ fortunately for us, there's sub places almost everywhere.
The employee puts on clean gloves. Cleans the knife. I'm fine there.
Then they reach into whatever is next in your order, then the next, then the next, etc. What touched all of that stuff before the 'clean' glove?
I'll stay with the place that washes their hands, and gets clean ingredients from the walk in. I love my Mr. Pita. My local Mr. Pita has gone to synthetic gloves vs Natural Rubber Latex gloves for food prep for me..

As an adult with a very sensitive, severe dairy allergy, I'll suggest that fast food in general is a roll of the dice. I do check the website information, box labels, and managers when there's no other option, but a good general guideline is to realize that if the kitchen has many dairy products in it and is staffed largely by 15-17-year-olds who haven't really been trained to avoid cross-contamination, it's not going to be dependably safe. Carrying food with you and picnicking in the park is a safer (and healthier) option for busy errand days than is
What I like about McDonald's is that the fry area is the fry area and the burgers are over there and the nuggets are over there. Meaning: each food seems to have its own station and only fries are cooked in the fry oil (from what I have seen). Nuggets are not cooked in the oil that fries are. To me, that reduces a lot of the risk and McD's is top of our (now very infrequent) treat places to go.
I'll preface by saying that allergies and the degree of sensitivity to allergens are individual, so one person's experience may differ from another's.
That said, though ... you cannot tell by looking what's been in any restaurant's frying oil. Frying oil is routinely filtered and recirculated from one vat to another. There may be a station that's fries-only, but that oil may have been in a completely different station yesterday.

Recently, I've been getting sick from apples. I remember vaguely hearing something on the radio about a new environmentally-sound treatment for apples out there that coats them in milk as some sort of pesticide or preservative. Has this gone national now? Or was it just an experimental thing? I can't remember exactly what they said. Has anyone else out there had a similar experience?
I have never heard of milk coating on apples. Is that only in the US or Canada too? My son eats an apple in his school lunch five days a week and I am not aware of any issues. I do wash the apple but I don't scrub it.
Somehow I see vegans getting up in arms about a milk coating, not to mention milk allergic people.
Has anyone else heard about this? It's been awhile since I had an apple--usually get them in fall at the local farmers' market, but not so much otherwise--but this would be horrible for me if it's being done! Does anyone else have any information?
Hm. A quick look suggests that apple slices, in particular, might very well be coated with whey or caseinate. Sliced potatoes may, also. Yuck! Who'd have guessed?
I have no idea how commonly this is being done, or if it was just an investigation, but it's a really bad idea!
ABSTRACT: Color analysis on apple and potato slices coated with calcium caseinate or whey protein solutions showed that the 2 coatings efficiently delayed browning by acting as oxygen barriers. The antioxidant properties of the films were realized using a model allowing the release of oxidative species by
I dont know about milk on apples as a pesticide but I do know they spray a calcium formula on apples that they absorb for calcium in the plant. Where they get that calcium is another question.

I have heard that casein can be found in the wax that is used to coat fruit to keep them fresher longer. I always heavily scrub or peel the fruit before giving it to my son.

My grandmother used to coat fish in milk before frying. A friend in the catering business told me restaurants will do it if the fish isn't quite as fresh as it should be. Kosher affairs are the safest since dairy and meat are kept separate. The fruit thing is interesting--fruit can be harsh on our delicate guts anyway.

we are new to dairy allergies - my daughter is 18 months old and is allergic (test proved what we already knew from reactions). I try very hard to read ingredients, etc and nutrition facts...but i am baffled by the McDonalds part - I also have a six year old and both girls recently were eating chicken nuggets and fries. Being the bad mom, I looked at the nutrition facts afterwards (I know, I know) - and the site says chick nuggets has milk and the fries may also have milK? What's the deal here? I know for sure that
As for the apples: every one is using "I think that..." "I heard that...". Does anyone know for sure? Like I said, I wash the fruit but don't scrub and my Ontario apples have yet to affect my son. You can get calcium without getting it from milk (e.g. Tums; calcium supplements) so if the apples are coated in calcium, it should be listed on the ingredients (I am certain it is on the baggie of sliced apples you can get from a McD's Happy Meal) and you can see for sure what it is. As for McD's fries...My son
McDonald's hamburgers, apple pies, apple juice, and apple slices are all safe. These are what little guy eats out. Also, Burger King fries are safe. Go to each companies website and compile a list of safe foods. That's what I did. After awhile you will have a few places that you know you can get safe food in a pinch. I said safe not healthy. :)
Earlier this week I posted an abstract and link to a journal article reporting on the effectiveness of preventing sliced apples (and potatoes) from browning (due to oxidation) by using a whey or casein coating. So yes, there's some reliable information out there, although I don't know how commonly this process is being used. I don't usually get apples already sliced, which seemed to be the most likely problem source, so I've never had a reaction to apples. (And trust me, if there were dairy there, my body would let everyone know it!) I also get fresh apples from the
Here I've found one reference to casein used in the wax on apples. It sounds like casein is more usually added to wax on citrus fruit rather than on apples. But at least one company puts casein in apple wax.

Fortunately, the server asked if everything looked OK when she stopped by to tell me she'd bring my (yes, out-of-season) fruit later. I explained about the previous arrangements, and she hurried back to the kitchen to come out with at least a different meat dish to replace the chicken-jerky. She also explained that the chef who had spoken with me before had left that afternoon to tend to an unexpected family emergency, and all the information the replacement chef had received was, "dairy allergy." This chef had also put cheese in the eggplant that was being

I was just wondering if others here have shared a similar experience to mine last night. What's with thinking there has to be a "one size fits all" dinner option for anyone with any dietary restriction?
I attended an organizational "Annual Dinner" last night at a nice conference center. When first seated, one of my table companions asked how I was able to be there, and I explained that I'd been talking with the kitchen staff for a week in advance. The organization had been kind enough to request that there be no cheese served at the buffet
I have no objection to information that is non-dairy, lactose and/or milk-protein free, and/or gluten free being shared on this list, regardless of its origins in LI, vegan, religious, or any other personal source. There is valid and valuable information to be gained from any and all.
You are no doubt well intentioned but I have no interest in your information and do not share your belief system. I don't know why I am getting emails from you. I suspect you may be a nut job. Why don't you let those of us who are interested in helping each other with dairy alone? Please do not reply.
OK I've got to step in now. Let's stop with the name calling and becoming offended by someone's beliefs. I do appreciate the recipe links. I am always interested in good vegan recipes. I am not vegan, but because of my son's food allergies (dairy, peanuts, eggs) vegan food works for us. I just never know how to fix it so that it will taste good....like what I'm used to anyway. If I want to add meat later, then I can. I think what everyone is asking is that you back off of the animal cruelty information. While I'm sure

people with friends and relatives who are vegan or pseudo vegetarian or eat kosher or halal can also benefit from these recipes; even new vegans often search for alternatives to traditional holiday fare.

Thank you for the recipes, Gerry. Dairy-free, whether vegan or not, is what this list is about.
Thank you Alex. I am very concerned about the integrity of your list when an individual zelot brings up personal and professional information about me. I am here because of a medical condition. I should not call someone a nut job, so I apologize to him. However, Mr. Lowery's response, where he calls me computer illiterate, and brings in my professional work tend to reinforce my feeling that this individual wants to impose his beliefs here. With this I promise no further off topic corrispondance. Thanks again for all you work on our behalf.
Thanks for bringing this back on topic, Alex! I agree with everything you said. Also, I appreciate your information on your children's food allergies. My son tested a sensitivity to milk, but no food allergy any more. However, knowing that it is important to keep him off of the food for a few more years is good, as well. He also seems to develop allergies or rather sensitivities to anything that he eats over a long period of time so I am having to rotate his diet. Fun.

Ok, I have a good one for you guys. Most of you that have been here a while know I am allergic to milk protein. Particularly whey, but casein sometimes gets me, too. Was reading an ingredient list the other day and was stopped short by what I didn't understand (needless to say I DID NOT buy the product) What is deproteinized whey? I thought whey was basically milk protein. How do you "de-protein-ize" a protein? Will I still react the way I do to milk proteins? Am I allergic to that and do I really want to try to
for some explanation. I'm sure that others can point you to more complete, but I think the answer is that protein is one part of whey, and it can be isolated and removed. What's left is "deproteinized" whey which can be used for other things. As far as allergic reactions to it, I would have no clear idea.
FYI Smart Balance "Light" is dairy and gluten free. In my opinion wayyy tastier with a buttery flavor and I prefer over Earth Balance. Worth a try if you have not already...

Well, first, I would google deproteinized whey and see what you got. Then a quick call to your allergist (if you have one) and see if he has any insight on the matter. It was a good call not to risk it until you have more information.
I wonder why they took the protein out. (it annoys me when they add whey to things that don't really need it)

If you check out this site: http://www.innovatewithdairy.com/InnovateWithDairy/Articles/Article_Whey_Baked_082306.htm
it will tell you how they take out the protein, what's left and what they do with it. It is mostly lactose (which as we all know a problem for many people too). It seems to offer good things for the baking industry...but the site is pro-milk so, there's a little bias there. But, I now know how and why.

My family wants to me to try a cookie recipe they love, which calls for yogurt. I know that some (most? all?) soy yogurts, such as O'Soy, contain some milk products; it's apparently quite difficult to find yogurt cultures that weren't originally grown in milk. Since I simply don't eat yogurt, I've never really investigated this before, and the product websites aren't proving especially helpful. Silk's site, for example, doesn't seem to make clear whether they use cultures grown in milk or not. I don't know a lot about yogurt, and don't even know if it's possible to culture
When I was living in the US, there was at least three different varieties of soy yoghurt and my son, who is allergic to dairy, ate them all. Some tasted better than others and none gave him any problems. I am not aware of any of these actually having any milk in them and I think it would be a serious marketing problem (esp. for vegans or animal activists or for those severely allergic) if you offered a soy based yoghurt with cultures grown in milk. If you google online, you will find several pages on how to make homemade
So Delicious and So Delicious with Coconut Milk is supposedly dairy/lactose free but are certified Kosher DE so you would have to call the company to verify cross contamination issues. My son eats the ice cream bars with no problem.

Thank you for the replies. I'll call Silk and So Delicious to be sure, but I've eaten other products from both in the past, so I'm hopeful. I know So Delicious is really good about avoiding cross-contamination in its ice cream manufacture, at least.
I really appreciate the suggestions. I have a severe enough allergy that I react to the tiniest bit of any milk derivative, and didn't feel like wading through the information-light websites of all the available yogurt brands claiming to be soy after confirming that at least one (O'Soy) has serious contamination problems.
I don't know anything about the product firsthand, but since you haven't received a reply yet, I did a quick check. You can get it online at drugstore.com . Here's a link directly to the LI Therapy caplets: http://tinyurl.com/6f89r2 . It's $7.49 for 32 caplets from this site, plus shipping; there may be a better price elsewhere, but I didn't have time to look further this morning.

New to the group, hoping to find a place where everyone doesn't think I'm crazy. My 4 year old son and 1.5 year old daughter have UNDIAGNOSED dairy allergy.

Save up your pennies and tell your husband that it would give you great peace of mind and possibly, further harmony in the house if you knew for certain that there was a problem. Then get the test done.
I am assuming that you have ruled out a lactose intolerance at this point. That would not test positive on a prick test. (is there a test for lactose intolerance?)
Thanks! I have ruled out LI, and I am trying to live dairy-free, as my son, my daughter and myself(daughter still nursing) can't have it. My husband is not fond of substitutes, although tolerant and thinks it is more expensive. I could use some advice on how to simply and affordably live milkless! Right now we do soymilk, for example, and this is pretty expensive. I can't buy the cheap store brand of many items because they contain milk, and often I make allowances for the sake of a low bill and peace in the home. I will start saving

If you are substituting VANILLA soy milk for milk, then yes, you can have a difference in taste. Try plain, or even plain unsweetened. Most soy milks are sweetened.
Cooking without dairy (and only that)? I have no problem feeding my family, and there is one meal for all. If we ignore that she is considering avoiding beef, simple traditional meals such as roasts (beef, lamb, pork, turkey, chicken, ham) are great and no milk is needed for a nice gravy. Cook up veggies as usual; if mashed potatoes are an issue, suggest a dairy free margarine and use chicken
It would be great to have a definitive positive finding from a blood test. But these are not absolute. You and/or your children can have negative skin and blood tests and still have dairy-provoked symptoms. (You never said which kind, did you?).
As our favorite allergist has said, the patient is the best indicator - if he or she shows symptoms with dairy and no symptoms or fewer symptoms without, it's a good idea to avoid dairy. It can be difficult to objectively judge (and distinguish dairy-provoked symptoms from those provoked by other environmental allergens);

My heart goes out to you, Megan. Here's a couple of things that I wish I had known years before I did... Casein is a protein found in milk products. People who cannot digest it build up antibodies to it which appear in the blood. I'm not a doctor, and this is not medical advice, but I wish someone had done the blood test on me many years before they did because the reactions happen over time. Antibody reactions are systemic, meaning they can cause problems in seemingly unrelated areas. I hope you can find a way to get your

For ordinary daily use, the really, really cheap margarines can be safe, too. They're simply too cheap to use actual dairy! Ideally, look for the cheapest store brand near you, and check the ingredients on all their varieties; if one variety does include dairy, there's a risk of cross-contamination on the equipment. (I'm not listing specific brands, because what's available here in this category may not be what's available there.)

I beg to differ. I once spent a half an hour checking every single brand of margarine from the cheapest to the most expensive olive oil DHA added and only ONE brand was dairy free. Just because it is cheap does not mean it does not have milk. Read ingredients carefully.

You certainly aren't crazy. The question to be answered is whether you're right. Right about the dairy being the problem. It may be, or it may be a totally different underlying condition. Those can be maddeningly difficult to determine. You mention delayed reactions, but never say what those are, how long they are delayed, or how long they take to go away. Those are critical for diagnosis. You may be seeing the wrong type of doctor.
Here's another idea for "cheese" go to roads end organics on the interrnet they make a product called mac n chreese. my boys who are anaphylactic to milk love it so do the neighborhood kids who aren't milk allergic. a few yrs back they started offereing the "chreese" in bulk use the mozerella and you can make it, then freeze it and shred for pizza its great...... we live on that stuff reasonably priced too.

Not all children who are truely allergic( anaphylactic) to milk outgrow a milk protein allergy. According to our allergist/pulminologist as they get older they usually "tolerate" milk broken down such as "whey" in a baked good and by the time they are adults will not react anaphylactically any longer to parts of milk that the protein has been broken down such as "whey" . But even if not anaphylactic(medical emergency) they would still be considered allergic and the symptoms will/can manifest themselves differently i.e. stomach upset, congestion, eczema etc.....
Right. And the conventional wisdom does not apply to all cases. Those in the "allergic 2%" - highly allergic and/or with multiple atopic disorders - may never outgrow theirs. Our highly atopic 21-year-old is still highly allergic to milk.
My mild childhood symptoms got significantly worse starting at age 17.
I have heard of a few cases where a child with a hair-trigger reaction to dairy completely disappeared at roughly age ten.
I used to buy a certain brand of fish sticks and all of a sudden, they changed their formulation and added milk. I emailed to complain (and they were losing a customer) but all I got back was a form email essentially saying, well, we want it this way.
I have made it a habit to double check the ingredients of even my most trusted and popular brands. You just never know. Fortunately, here in Canada, most bread is milk free and as a result, I am getting lazy in checking bread! It was such a challenge
Ah, the scourge of focus groups and taste testers. Might be what happened to the margarine industry. I link it back to the "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" commercials.
Virtually every Hershey's dark chocolate now has milk fat in it. Trader Joe's has gone that way, too.
Many kids may well outgrow dairy allergies ... but please don't count on it, and stay very alert if you ever reintroduce milk.
I was allergic to dairy from birth. When I was about 2-3 years old, my reactions to dairy changed, and my mother thought I'd outgrown the allergy. She put milk back in my diet. I kept showing the changed symptoms, but they weren't the same as my infant response to dairy, so no one thought they were had anything to do with milk.
And, I'm sure those of you that were posting here back then remember the Pop-Tart scare of several years back. We were very effective in keeping them from changing the ingredients on ALL the varieties. They changed some, but I still buy the unfrosted ones and they are dairy free. Also, Most varieties of Duncan Hines cake mixes and most of the Pillsbury frostings don't have milk, at least the ones in my little corner of the south. :) Pammi

Is it only ice cream? A certain flavour or brand even? Are there nuts in the ice cream? It could be brand related: there was a time I could not eat Domino's Pizza as they gave me heartburn but frozen pizza did not.
My husband is not lactose intolerant but is becoming sensitive to foods that are high in fat (but he is over 45) and ice cream is higher in fat than just plain milk. Cheese also gives him issues but not plain milk (and cheese is high in fat but low in lactose (so I have been told)).

There are many simple foods that are milk-free, and simple recipe-substitutions you can use to make your own.

Hey Elizabeth! No worries with the milk allergy for your son. I have 2 boys that both have milk allergy and it is no problem.

Relax! While it can be frustrating at times, cooking without dairy can be quite manageable and inexpensive.

I have to agree with Julianne. The majority of dessert recipes can be made without milk. You can substitute rice or soy milk for cow's milk and a dairy free margarine or just plain (canola) oil for butter or shortening.
One caveat: anything that requires rolling, e.g. pie crusts, Christmas cookies, should not be made with an oil substitute. It will be edible but difficult to roll and the pie crust is dense.
here's a recipe for my daughter's favorite pumpkin pie. it's gluten and dairy free. I make it soy free by using home made cashew milk instead of the soy milk
our family's favorite dairy free dessert is made in a Vitamix with frozen fruit. I typically puree a banana with a little water and then add frozen fruit. in seconds you have a wonderful, healthy sorbet.
Look for a kosher (parve) cookbook and find recipes for anything and everything non-dairy. Myra

Ah, chocolate as in chocolate is a problem. But, if you use cocoa powder, then you can bake away! I make great chocolate cakes and brownies that way. Otherwise, I just don't bother with chocolate bars; the non dairy kind are expensive and it's too much work to read the labels.

There are a few dairy free chocolates on the market. we use Enjoy Life chocolate chips as they are soy free as well as dairy free. If you can get some, the Alprose dairy free chocolate is good. I use the baking chocolate bars to make a wonderful chocolate hazel nut cake
I love to mix a bit of cocoa powder and agave nectar with some tahini (sesame paste). Add a tiny bit of water and "whip" to create a yummy dairy-free chocolate sauce. Great as a frosting or just dolloped on some fruit.
Most DARK chocolates don't have milk... like Ghirardelli 60% cocoa. Also, read the ingredients on the generic store brand of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Some do, some don't.

If you're vigilant about reading the ingredients, some brownie mixes and chocolate cake mixes are non-dairy. Like Duncan Hines and I think one of the Betty Crocker brownie mixes, too. Can you tell I've researched the chocolate issue? hmmm? Also, Soy Delicious from Turtle Mountain is a really good chocolate soy ice cream. The flavor I prefer is Chocolate Obsession for that time of the month when you MUST have CHOCOLATE! I know, you could take magnesium to counter the chocolate craving, but what would you use as an excuse to have chocolate then? lol
Careful, though - Many of Trader Joe's chocolates have milk fat in them.
Those labeled "pareve" are more likely to be dairy free. (That's the Jewish/kosher designation meaning that it's ritually prepared without dairy; but there's always a raging debate here as to whether that's *absolutely* dairy free - please let's not repeat that debate here).
With so many good responses already, I'll limit mine to a few extra notes ...
Earth Balance vegan margarine is the best butter substitute for baking I've found. I use cheaper margarines for, say, putting on corn, but Earth Balance has a low enough water content to hold up to baking. Butter flavor Crisco works in theory, but the taste isn't as good. The Crisco will work well for pie crusts, though, if you'd rather not use lard.
One more note, this time about the "pareve" or "parve" label ...
My orthodox Jewish allergist has warned me not to trust it. The standards for keeping Kosher are high, but are NOT sufficient to prevent all cross-contamination. I have a very sensitive, severe allergy, so pareve isn't enough to be sure I'm safe. Someone who's less sensitive might be OK with it, and I see it recommended often ... but it does not actually guarantee that there's no dairy.

Thank you all so much for all your input. I cannot see and really appreciate hearing what food do and don't have milk. My husband sometimes remembers to check for milk in things but doesn't always remember. So any info is so appreciated. Recipes are as well. I did find a milk put out by dairy land that is lactose free so we shall see how it goes. It's cheese and chocolate I miss the most. I went to a barbecue recently and the hostess marinaded the chicken in buttermilk and that little bit really sent me into a lot
Pretty much the consensus. Complicated, with variations based on the labeling practices of the various certifying agencies.
For our family, pareve labeling is a pretty good indicator that we'll be ok. No worse than any product not labeled dairy-free.
Regardless of the labeling, there are no guarantees of the absence of all dairy contaminants. Products manufactured in totally separate facilities would be best.

I just made this. Pretty simple. I used a small ice-cream maker of the type where you put a jacketed container in the freezer for a few hours, then take it out and churn your mixture for about 20 minutes using an electric churn that clips on to it. (Ours is a Magimix type DV model 11047, if that helps). I presume the jacket is filled with something like calcium chloride or sodium sulfate solution.

My allergist suggested I look into whether I'd want to try Xolair (Omalizumab), and said that if I do, he'll undertake the apparently necessary series of arguments with my insurance company to get the expensive drug covered. I've read the patient information brochure and the prescribing information, which are helpful - but also are not quite informative enough. I have a severe dairy allergy, with anaphylactic response triggered by inhalation or ingestion, and dermatologic response triggered by contact. My allergy is much better controlled than it once was, but because I refuse to stay hidden away at home
I've heard that dairy allergy can be reset by staying away from ALL dairy related stuff for a full year.Havent tried it yet but know of someoen who is and I'm keeping an eye on it.

I don't know if it's true or not. I've been dairy free for 14 years and still allergic as far as I know. Then again, I'm not willing to risk a reaction to find out! P

Our allergist in Texas several years ago recommended we try this for our anaphylactic (to milk) daughter who was only 8 at the time. My understanding is that it blocks the histamine reaction completely. We did not take that route for many reasons: it was so new, un-tried and very expensive, worries about effects on developing bodies, and a general nervousness that God gave us a histamine reaction for a good reason and I'm not sure I wanted to ticker with that until I understood it. If you decide to do it, please keep the list posted.
*FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE* -- April 4, 2008 -- Harry and David, of Medford, Oregon, is voluntarily recalling approximately 66,500 8 oz. bags of Harry and David Chocolate Covered Select Blend Espresso Beans because they may contain milk not declared on the ingredient statement. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product.
