[QUOTE="skeeter, post: 351673, member: 439"] My son actually tested positive on scratch testing to cow's milk - but we knew he had issues with it long before that. He can tolerate goat and sheep milk based products. It's the casein in cow's milk he has issues with. One caution on substitutes - you still need to read ingredient labels. Many "dairy free" products use "sodium casenate" as a thickening agent. That's the part my son is allergic to, so he cannot eat any of these products. I use either tofu that I flavor with herbs and garlic, or goat cheese when preparing things like lasagna for him. He has no issues with tomatos, however - I'm not sure what would be a suitable substitute for that. If you haven't read it, Dr. Doris Rapp's "Is This Your Child" became my bible while working through all this. [/QUOTE]
