Why does everything have to have dairy?!?

Question

My son is allergic to a protein in dairy and his birthday is coming up. We are trying to celebrate early so my husband can celebrate too however he isn’t allowed to have cake I wanted to make a sweet potato pie for him to smash and eat at the party but apparently everything has dairy, cream, or something of that nature in it. I’m so frustrated I don’t know what to do. Suggestions?

Answer

My daughter is allergic to dairy (and coconut) and I usually bake her treats from scratch using dairy alternatives.

Answer

You can easily make a dairy free cake. Use earth balance sticks for the butter and any milk substitute,or even juice for the liquid portion. A lot of bakeries now will even make allergy free cakes, ask around

Answer

Make it homemade! I’m allergic to many things and I’ve found the best way to avoid all of them is to make everything from scratch. It takes more time but it’s worth it😊

Answer

Make something homemade or find a local vegan bakery! I’m allergic to soy which is in pretty much everything. They even use soy wax on fruits and vegetables so I feel you.

Answer

So I was dealing with literally the same issue. He had a sever allergy and has been on neocate syneo and seeing specialists. My sons gastroenterologist wanted him to try yogurt at 9 months and milk at 1 year. So he did great with the yogurt at 9 months... MUCH to my suprise... because when she said that, probably around his 6 month appointment  my eyes just about bulged out of my head BC his allergy was so severe... So it's been 3 months now since hes tried yogurt and I know he's  been given food with cooked milk in it by my parents without them realizing.... and he's been OK with that. His birthday party is August 25th and I want him to have cake!!! I know I could have made him a dairy free but I just figured what the heck.... His Dr. Said she wants him to try milk by a year anyway    let's do this! I was definitely very scared.... With all we went through when he was younger. We started a little at a time and just these last two days he's on whole milk exclusively!!! I'm so happy, its such a huge milestone. Anyway, I'm telling you this because it was recommended by his specialist and maybe its something you can ask your GI about or just trial on your own. I wish you lots of luck!!!!

I did dairy free cupcakes for my daughter for her 1st birthday you can find a bunch of recipes on Pinterest

Answer

Here’s AMAZING vegan ice cream you can serve him with the cake. It tasted literally exactly like ice cream, super creamy but it’s made with coconut. I get it from Sprouts.

I’m vegan and I can tell you it’s fairly simple to make a cake without dairy. Just look up vegan cake recipes. Vegan cakes are delicious, I’ve had everything from donughts to cinnamon rolls you name it, all vegan :).

Answer

We have loads of allergies at work (I work with children) we always make cakes with dairy alternatives and it’s usually easy to find. Have you tried your local supermarket to see if they have a dairy free section or even vegan cake?

Answer

Making a cake without dairy isn't too bad honestly. Some of the mixes in the store don't have dairy you just have to read the labels closely. And making it from scratch isn't bad either.
I don't know on pie. I have no idea how to make a pie crust without butter. Maybe look up some vegan pie recipes. There is so much out there now in terms of vegan recipes. My daughter is allergic to dairy also and we use a lot of vegan recipes because I know they won't have any hidden dairy.
