Dairy allergy

My daughter has recently developed a dairy intolerence . So far she has tried soya milk and soya spread , and likes them both. Would anyone have any other suggestions for her please ?

Alpro Soya desserts are nice. Goats milk/cheese I guess?

Marks and Spencer have a sunflower oil spread.

There's also a range called "dairy free" - You mostly see it in the specialty food section in tesco. There are muffins, breads, etc and most importantly chocolate!

If your daughter likes chocolate, Celtic Chocolates also have a good range - they do special ranges for Christmas and Easter.

Oh and Hula Hoops original range are dairy free.

Rice Milk isnt a favourite of mine, but some people love it!

Depending on how sensitive she is, you might need to start checking the back of labels. You'd be surprised how many packets have milk in them.

Good luck!

If she is under 2 I wouldn't recommend Rice Milk due to the low Arsenic levels in it.

No worries on the age front , shes in college. I will look out for the M and S and tresco ranges.

coconut butter and Kara coconut milk (carton version thats suitable for cereal and teas, not tinned version) both very lovely

almond milk - tis expensive though

The allergy society (UK) have lots of information you might find useful on their website.

This is really nice

In terms of chocolate - the darker the better, 85-90% cocoa solids leaves very little room for anything milky.

Is it the lactose or the protein in milk she reacts to? If it's lactose, hard cheeses are ok to eat. Just check the nutrition on the back and if there's no carbohydrate it's safe. You can also buy lactose free milk.

Oatmilk! You can get it in any health store and it's much nicer than the very watery Rice milk, and not as sweet and overpowering as the Almond Milk. There's also hazelnut milk - again a bit sweet for my taste and not a patch on the Oatmilk.

I am lactose intolerant myself - I drink either the Kara coconut milk or oatmilk. Both are really nice - the Kara coconut milk can be found in Dunnes, as well as health food stores.
