Egg/soya/milk allergies

Kitty's picture

Hi My 2 sons have just been put on an egg/soya/milk free diet. My eldest is 4 so it's been really hard for him to adjust. He really misses yoghurts and cheese. I feel really bad for him. My 20month old has found it easier as he's always been dairy-free. I'm finding it really hard to find food in the shops that they can eat - does anyone have any good recommendations? Thanks Kitty

my 2.5yr old daughter is also allergic/intolerant to dairy, egg, soya and gluten (she has been since birth/weaning)

instead of yoghurt I make her rice pudding using appropriate milk (prescription if it's just for her, calcium enriched oat/rice milk if it's for the rest of us too) and ground rice. then just add some pureed fruit and she takes it in her lunchbox to the childminder in a small plastic pot (the sort designed for using when weaning babies) and she loves it.

I've not found a decent cheese replacement, though many recipes i just use a plain white sauce instead of a cheese sauce, then grate over cheese for the rest of us. oat milk is great for both sweet and savoury dishes. rice milk i've found to be too sweet to use for savoury, but it's great for sweet dishes.

Tesco and asda both stock tubs of allergy-free icecream too (chocolate or vanilla) can't remember the name, but it was featured on dragons' den...it's more watery than normal icecream, but still nice, and nice to have something that's not a fruit sorbet!

also, tesco stock individual cartons of plain rice milk (calcium fortified), and also chocolate flavoured oat milk...both fantastic for lunchboxes.

Hi

Thank you for your message. The alternative to yoghurt sounds lovely - unfortunately my boys developed food aversions from their gut problems and they gag on mixed textures food or just refuse to eat them so I've never had any success getting them to have lumpy wet foods like rice pudding.

Is the icecream you mentioned the Worthenshaws? I bought some last week and they taste really nice. I'm trying to get my kids to have some fruit (and extra calories) by making smoothies with the Worthenshaws vanilla icecream, honey and fruit puree. My eldest son will have it but not our 4 year old. The hardest thing for us, isn't how limited our diet is (no egg, dairy,soya) but the fact that the boys are very fussy and can't eat so many textures. That is what really limits us and I struggle to find foods our youngest will eat. He mainly has dried crunchy foods e.g dried cereals and crisps and sometimes chips.

Has your daughter got an underlying gut condition like EGID or is straight forward food intolerances?

Anyway, thanks again,

Kitty
