If you're searching for dairy substitutes (particularly for picky kids who want to continue drinking milk)--

We've been trying to find a milk substitute that our 7 yr old grandson will drink.  After trying several brands of soy milk, rice milk, even almond milk, Andrew will drink Vance's DariFree (potato-based drink tastes good and looks like milk).

Unfortunately this product is not in any of our area stores, but can be ordered directly 800-497-4834 or go to their web site www.vancesfood.com

  Subject: Michele's Sudden Allergy


  I know that it's normal to become lactose intolerant
  as you get older. My
  gradual decline began around age 19, but I've heard of
  people developing
  lactose intolerance at all ages. I have secondary
  lactose intolerance,
  which means it was caused by a disease, rather than
  all by itself. I haven
  t heard of anyone becoming suddenly allergic to milk,
  but of course that
  doesn't mean it can't happen. I wonder if you were
  always allergic, but had
  such a mild reaction that you didn't associate it with
  dairy? My son is 4
  and has been allergic to milk since birth. WE DIDN'T
  FIND THIS OUT UNTIL
  JUST 6 MONTHS AGO! Can you believe that?! Because his
  reaction wasn't
  severe, it took us that long to figure out what was
  causing his symptoms (it
  also helps if your Pediatrician will listen to your
  concerns and not dismiss
  them). There's also a chance that your reaction is
  caused by something else
  - such as an illness, pregnancy, etc and in this case
  may be temporary.
  Have you consulted with a doctor yet? They "should" be
  able to provide you
  with more information.

  In the meantime if you need any advice or want to ask
  any questions, this is
  a great board for it.

  All the best,
  Debby
