Hi - I maintain a website which is full of very practical information on how to keep milk out of your diet. It includes beginner's menus, shopping tips, and lots of other information. It also contains links to other excellent no-milk websites and lists some books that I've found helpful. Switching to a milk-free diet can be challenging when you start out, but it becomes very straightforward when you get used to it. Do continue to ask questions of this list when you need to. We're all pretty good at this milk-free business. --Beth Kevles [log in to unmask] http://web.mit.edu/kevles/www/nomilk.html -- a page for the milk-allergic Disclaimer: Nothing in this message should be construed as medical advice.
