Hi there everyone,

  Sorry I am answering this so late but I was in Florida for almost 3 weeks
and I am now weeding through over 500messages. I would like to report also
that I had the pleasure of meeting personally with Helen Fernety of
Non-Dairy Something to Moo About, what a wonderful woman!!

  Anyway, in answer to your query I can only tell you that my son Zack is
allergic to Milk & Eggs among others of course. He is also allergic to Beef
and Chicken as a result. We tried lamb but found it caused a reaction as
well. Then we had a thought, we paid a local farmer to raise a lamb for us
and feed it only grain. Presto, my son Zack is able to enjoy lamb now. It
cost us a bit more to buy but it was well worth it. Zacks main allergy is to
dairy and I am fairly positive that the first lamb we tried was milk fed. I
didnt think that there was any way that the milk the lamb had eaten would
have any bearing on the meat, but then again we are talking about a boy who
went anaphlyacitc over dog food.
