[QUOTE="Josie, post: 63807, member: 1792"] My 2 kids are both dairy free and gluten free. easy child is also soy free and I am trying to make difficult child be soy free, too. Since I already cook soy-free, it doesn't seem like it will be too hard for difficult child to be, but she is resisting. I am also gluten, dairy, and soy free. I have not tried the egg-free diet because easy child didn't test positive for that. I haven't checked difficult child because she seems to be doing mostly ok and I can't imagine giving up eggs, too. My own doctor was skeptical about the gluten free diet but I can feel a difference in myself. The whole diet has made a huge difference in our family's ability to get along. We have been doing it for 15 months and I can't imagine going back to "normal" eating. Even difficult child admits that she feels better. True, we almost never eat out. I am irritable, anxious, and tired for 2 weeks after eating out if a mistake is made. And they frequently are, so it just isn't worth it. The kids' behaviour also changes for the worse and the combination of all of us reacting isn't pretty. I have found it is easier, and tastes better, to just make things that naturally are dairy free. I was never a big cheese lover, so I don't miss it. Instead of using butter, I mostly use olive oil for cooking. For baking, I use either shortening or coconut oil. I finally figured out how to make pudding with the right consistency and I think it still tastes good, using coconut milk and Vance's DariFree milk substitute. It uses Kraft pudding mix, so I think it is egg-free also. I also use almond milk when I need milk in a recipe. There is some ice cream made by Rice Dream that is dairy and soy free. difficult child and I think it tastes kind of funny but easy child likes it. When we want something like that, I buy sorbet or popcicles. I do not buy it if it says it may contain traces of milk because I have found difficult child reacts to even that. Let me know if you have any specific questions about replacements. [/QUOTE]
