anyone have a kid with food allergies?

well good news to report. he actually likes the vanilla rice milk!!!! one hurdle down, now to tackle more...LOL i am at least happy he will drink it and get part of the vitamins he needs :)
 
I would not hesitate to use stuff that "manufactured in the same facility" if his allergies are minor. IF he likes the vanilla rice milk you are half way there - that's the hard part! :)
 
Not sure where you are in KS, but Wichita has a couple of Whole Foods. I swear our Walmart here has soy milk, too, but maybe it's because we're in Wichita, and there's a higher demand for it.

i agree ... we do this with nut products - no problems so far :) our allergist said it was our decision, but that the risk was low that we would get a nut and that we would drive ourselves crazy if we took everything out of her diet ... also, we have the epi-pen at all times just in case ...
 
One of my nieces had allergies to wheat, gluten, eggs and I forget what else (I am just her aunt, didn't cook much for her as a baby) and my sister lived in a very rural area. She had to drive to buy all the stuff my niece needed. Maybe you can talk your local store into carrying the things you find work best for you? My niece outgrew her allergies though. I can't imagine how hard it can be. Its bad enough in my house with me being a vegetarian.
 
My sister makes ice cream with rice milk for her son and also makes some cakes/cookies that he is able to eat. I can get her recipe if you like.
