Thank Mary I am so worried about our trip and what to feed Parker, I will have a look around for these things to start. I have already looked up whole foods, from you before.

Thanks Mary, I was just at Whole Foods today and bought a bunch of baby food and some soy/dairy free teething bisquits:D

Thanks for sharing this Mary!! I have been at such a loss at what to feed Jackson, of course all he wants lately are his darn fruit puffs.

I wonder if we have a Whole Foods around.....off to look it up ;).

More ideas ladies!! I need some meals to attempt to get Jackson to eat and if he doesn't eat it.....I will!!

We use a lot of the Enjoy Life brand products. They have bread, bagels, cookies, brownies, snack bars, fake chocolate chips, and cereal. All are wheat/gluten, dairy/casein, nuts, soy, eggs, fish, and shellfish free.

Here's the link. You can search your state. It gives each store that carry their brand. You can also buy online - it sends you to the Gluten Free Mall (we buy the bread online).

http://www.enjoylifefoods.com/ (http://www.enjoylifefoods.com/)

We've personally tried the cookies, bread, bagels, and snack bars. They're all yummy.

:thumbup:

(Thanks for starting this Mary. I'll try to think of some other brands of prepared foods that Em can eat...I usually just alter recipes by substituting with Em's dairy/soy free butter and rice milk).

Amanda--if you have a sec, please add Em's dairy/soy free butter to the list. I have yet to find a butter/margarine that doesn't at least contain soy (B is allgergic and also reacts to the fats, like soy oil...)

:-)

Mary we have one called nuttellex, it contains sunflower, canola and vegetable oil- Is it usual to have soy in vegetable oil? Do you think this would have soy in it? I assumed cause it says dairy free ot was ok, I always forget the soy.

A lot of the margarines here contain soybean oil. :-( I'll have to look for that brand next time I'm out.

I"ve added everything you guys told me about to the list. Let me know if you think it would be better to categorize this differently (for example, by food type rather than by brand, etc.) :-) :-) :-)

Hi Mary

GREAT list...Thanks
I'll have to go through my cabinets/freezer and add some things

This is the only butter/margarine I've found w/out soy
I'm not a big margarine fan so we skip it all together

http://www.fleischmanns.com/products/light.jsp

Hi again

I also wanted to add that I contacted Amy's directly through their website(707-578-7188) and they sent me a list of their vegan products/soy and dairy free with a coupon to try a FREE product :)

Amanda--if you have a sec, please add Em's dairy/soy free butter to the list. I have yet to find a butter/margarine that doesn't at least contain soy (B is allgergic and also reacts to the fats, like soy oil...)

:-)

Sorry, Mary. Her's has soy oil in it. I shouldn't say soy-free...I guess I should say dairy-free/soy protein-free.

You're right. I can't find any that are totally soy and dairy free. :(

This is the only butter/margarine I've found w/out soy
I'm not a big margarine fan so we skip it all together

http://www.fleischmanns.com/products/light.jsp

That's what Em uses, but I thought vegetable monoglycerides contained soy oil. Anyone know?

I'll check the MSPI ingredient list tomorrow. I'm sure it will have the info there.


Thanks for trying, Amanda! I will still list the Fleishmann's and I'll note that it does contain soybean oil. :-) (I'll do it tomorrow. Am on my way to bed now.) --Or you can certainly feel free to just edit the initial post to add it!! I started the thread, but I'm in no way territorial about it! :-)

I just re-configured the list to make it a little easier to use. I hope it's helpful! :-)

Hey, Mary...the enjoy life foods website is www.enjoylifefoods.com (http://www.enjoylifefoods.com) Instead of enjoylife.com. That is a different place all together dear. LOL!

Ack!! Thanks for the heads-up, Melissa! I totally spaced it when I re-wrote this... :-)

Thanks for organizing all of this, Mary. I'm going to the grocery tomorrow so I printed off your list so I can hunt to see if our store carries any of those brands.

I also know that the Earth's Best Instant Organic Oatmeal (Apples & Cinnamon and the Maple & Brown Sugar) are soy/dairy free. Emma eats either flavor (although she'll only eat about a 1/4 cup) each day for her snack after her nap. I end up eating the rest...and they're good! For extra calories, I use her rice milk instead of water to prepare.

Glad it's helpful, Amanda. :-) I hope we can all keep adding to it.

I have the Earth's Best oatmeal on there; however, I didn't specify flavors. Do you think it would be easier to specify flavors for products that make more than one flavor of a particular food? :-)

Thanks Mary for putting this together
I'm hitting the store today with the kid and wrote down some new things to try
I picked up the pastry toaster tarts...I think there good, but Zach won't touch them

Also, about the Fleishmann's margarine...i thought it was soy free (completely SOY FREE)
Sorry about the mix-up

Thanks again

I'll check the MSPI ingredient list tomorrow. I'm sure it will have the info there.

I found a margarine for Owen in the german store that is soy-dairy free. It is made with Olive oil and he does fine with it. It doesn't need to be refridgerated until opening either.
If you would like to try it out, I can ship some your way.

There's a lot more than this that I buy though. I haven't bought all of these so haven't checked ingredients for all lately.

(Anything with a * has a may contain traces of peanuts warning)

Thanks for the list, Jennifer. :-) Question, though--we were told to avoid green beans b/c they are a soy deriviative. (They also cause vomiting/constipation with B). You included Gerber entrees w/ green beans. I'll add all your listings to the original sticky; however, I am thinking I might just put an asterisk next to the items containing green beans in the even that other kids might react, too...?

They're not a soy derivative, but they are in the legume family (as are peas, peanuts, carob, etc). I've always heard, been told, to only avoid the whole legume family if they react to 2 or 3 seperate legumes. So Evan has tested + for peas and soy and we're assuming peanut so we avoid them all. Green beans are actually our next trial though, he's never had them.

What an awsome list, thank you for posting it! I also want to let families know that Cybele Pascal, author of "The Whole Foods Allergy Cookbook" has a blog where she posts many MSPI recipes for free. I'd attach a URL, but I can't yet (need 4 more posts :) I'll post it soon though!

I get a lot of questions on why we use goat milk for Cooper and what the benefits would be to a child with milk (or soy) protein intolerance so I thought that I would write a bit about my experience.

Protein intolerances are caused when the body is unable to digest large proteins. The reason it is called MSPI is because Milk and Soy protein are both relatively large and can be very hard for infants and children to digest.

I have also found that there is generally a limit of how much dairy in a day that a child with MSPI can process and it is up to you to work out how much they can have. Some can have none, others can have yogurt, or cheese. Some can have anything but in small amounts through a day.

Why goat milk?

The proteins are smaller, it is made from a smaller animal than a cow, and feeds a smaller baby than a calf. I was once told that cow’s milk is for feeding a cow, that’s why so many kids have problems with it, as I don’t know many 1 year olds as big as a cow.

Whereas a goat is a smaller animal, the proteins are more digested and thus not causing the side effects of the intolerance. These are the main reasons why goat milk can be more tolerated.

Different protein. Goat milk protein forms a softer curd (the term given to the protein clumps that are formed by the action of your stomach acid on the protein), which makes the protein more easily and rapidly digestible. Theoretically, this more rapid transit through the stomach could be an advantage to infants and children who regurgitate cow's milk easily. Goat's milk may also have advantages when it comes to allergies. Goat's milk contains only trace amounts of an allergenic casein protein, alpha-S1, found in cow's milk. Goat's milk casein is more similar to human milk, yet cow's milk and goat's milk contain similar levels of the other allergenic protein, beta lactoglobulin. Scientific studies have not found a decreased incidence of allergy with goat's milk, but here is another situation where mothers' observations and scientific studies are at odds with one another. Some mothers are certain that their child tolerates goat's milk better than cow's milk, and mothers are more sensitive to children's reactions than scientific studies.

Less lactose. Goat's milk contains slightly lower levels of lactose (4.1 percent versus 4.7 percent in cow's milk), which may be a small advantage in lactose-intolerant persons.

Different fat. Goat's milk contains around ten grams of fat per eight ounces compared to 8 to 9 grams in whole cow's milk, and it's much easier to find low fat and non-fat varieties of cow's milk than it is to purchase low fat goat's milk. Unlike cow's milk, goat's milk does not contain agglutinin. As a result, the fat globules in goat's milk do not cluster together, making them easier to digest. Like cow's milk, goat's milk is low in essential fatty acids, because goats also have EFA-destroying bacteria in their ruminant stomachs. Yet, goat milk is reported to contain more of the essential fatty acids linoleic and arachnodonic acids, in addition to a higher proportion of short-chain and medium-chain fatty acids. These are easier for intestinal enzymes to digest.

Fresh tastes just like cow’s milk, so if available, fresh goat milk is better tolerated than long life goat milk.

So what does this mean?

If your child has a protein intolerance then it is likely that in time that they can have bits of dairy, starting with highly processed dairy items like yogurt and cheese or goat milk that is already a smaller protein.

Processing is what happens when something is made, the more something is processed the more it is broken down. In general this is not an ideal thing as it can break down all the nutrients and good stuff in a food. But in the case of milk with children with a milk intolerance this breaking down is good, it makes the particles smaller, easier to digest with no side effects.

Some things to know


If you are allergic to cows milk, then it is more than likely that your child is allergic to goats milk as the allergens are similar. If you wish to try goat milk, and your child is allergic to milk, please check with your doctor.The reason is there is cross-reactivity among milk proteins obtained from cows, goats and sheep. Only the whey fraction in the goat's milk differs from that in the cow's milk. Goat's milk is tolerated by only 40% of children who are allergic to cow's milk.
Lactose intolerance is not the same as milk protein intolerance and is generally misdiagnosed in children when it is the milk protein that is the intolerance.
Do not use goat’s milk on infant under 12 months, unless authorized by a pediatrician. It is not a formula and does not contain all the essential elements that normal formula or breast milk would. Do not start using it until your child has been cleared to use cow’s milk.
If your child is intolerant to cow’s milk, it is likely that your child can handle goat’s milk, and highly processed milk products. These would include yogurt, cheese, cakes, biscuits (not shortbread or butter based ones though) anything that you have cooked with a little milk (cooking will break down proteins) in it, like an omelette will probably be OK, but macaroni and cheese would not (large amounts instead of small amounts).
Things we avoid still: cows milk, cream, sour cream, butter and we limit ice cream to hardly ever.
But remember all children are different and it is up to you to work out the level of intolerance the child has, and also what you can allow, elimination diets work well in seeing which type and how much their body can tolerate.Determining the difference between allergy and intolerance including symptoms

An intolerance is an adverse reaction to a food that does not involve the immune system. Reactions can be immediate or delayed up to 20 hours (sometimes longer) after a food is eaten.

A food allergy is an abnormal immune system response to the introduction of a food an ordinarily harmless substance into the body. A reaction can occur within minutes, or a few hours after the food is ingested.

Symptoms of intolerance are sometimes vague and can include a combination of the following: headache, fatigue and irritability, gastrointestinal problems such as bloating and wind, diarrhea, nausea and indigestion, aggravation of eczema or asthma, and joint pain. Food intolerances can sometimes mimic symptoms of other medical conditions - it is important to get checked out by a doctor to eliminate other problems first.

Allergy symptoms may include hives, swelling around the mouth, diarrhea, vomiting, stuffy nose and hay fever symptoms, eczema (a skin rash) and anaphylaxis (a potentially life-threatening reaction that affects the whole body). Most reactions are quick.

What is a dairy elimination diet?

An elimination diet (or challenge) is used to discover which foods may be causing intolerances or allergies. For a milk/dairy elimination you need to eliminate all milk (and soy) proteins for a period of at least 2 weeks, till you notice an improvement in the intolerance symptoms listed above.
If you need to do a total elimination diet as you think that you have more than MSPI going on, then you should discuss this with your doctor.

How to work out your child’s intolerance limit

Once you have eliminated dairy, you may want to find out the intolerance limit, what you need to do is reintroduce dairy slowly. You would start with the least likely to react which is generally yogurt (more processed smaller proteins). So on day one you may want to give a tsp of it, and note any reactions over a day or two, then give another tsp or two and again notice any difference. Then you could introduce it a couple of times a day, until you can gauge how they are doing on a larger amount.

You may find that they will not tolerate the tsp, then keep the child off dairy for a couple of months and then re-try it. If they tolerate the yogurt over a week or two, then you would know of an approximate limit they can have. This is the first step.

Then you could have a couple of days off and then introduce cheese in a similar fashion as above, do this gradually increasing it. If they are doing well you could add in a little yogurt and see the limit of both they could take.

Once yogurt and cheese is tolerated, you could also add in things that contain milk in them, like boxed foods with small amounts of dairy, like fruit bars, biscuits, cakes, snacks etc…again do it over a couple of weeks, and then see what reactions to them are had.

Once you have a good gauge on this, you could try butter, cream or milk. I classify these all together because the amount of processing is similar in these, the proteins are going to be the largest here. These are more than likely the ones that you will have problems with. I personally would try the goats milk when you are at this stage, in about 1oz goat milk, 5oz hypoallergenic formula or rice milk, and see how it goes over a couple of days, writing down any reactions. Then you could slowly increase it over a week or two and see how it goes.

If you just want to try goat milk as a cows milk substitute then you could also try the goat milk before the yogurt if you want to start somewhere. In my experience if you want to introduce dairy and you start with milk, the trial will be unsuccessful, because you are starting with the hardest and least likely to be tolerated dairy product.

Why I decided to use Goat Milk with Cooper

I breastfed Cooper till he was 12 months and two weeks, in that time if needed I topped him up with an over the counter hypoallergenic formula. At the time I did not know that this was probably the best thing for him for top ups. We just used the one the hospital suggested and followed through with it. And again it was no more than a couple of bottles a week, I really did not see any problems, Cooper from about 10 weeks on was the most totally placid and happy child.

At 6 months we introduced foods and following my mums advice would add cows milk to foods and cereal in small amounts, again no problem, he ate yogurt and cheese also fine. So the decision to put him on cow’s milk post breastfeeding was not even thought twice about. At this stage Cooper was down to 3 milk feeds a day. I would put a quarter milk, then half then three quarters milk, then full milk.

Within two weeks not a lot happened in him, no really bad BM’s, no diarrhea but he got eczema I am not talking a few patches, but from his neck to his bum was rough red eczema, I again did not put two and two together, and was at the health nurse and said he had the eczema and put together the milk and told us to try goat milk. I had no idea at that time why but I did and the eczema went away within a week was totally clear.

So like I said I had no idea why it was so good, but I did some research about it. And this is what I have found. Protein intolerances are caused when the body is unable to digest large proteins, the reason it is called Milk and Soy Protein Intolerance is because if one is intolerant to Milk Protein it is generally the same for Soy as these proteins are also large.

Now intolerances can cause so many different types of reactions and also could be 2-3 days later till you see the effect so you may find that you can’t pinpoint it. There is also with most children a limit of how much in a day that is, and it is up to you to work out how much they can have. Some can have none, others can have yogurt, or cheese. Some can have anything but in small amounts through a day.

Finally, given this information, why is Parker on rice milk?

Well our story with Parker is almost identical to Coopers, excepts I stopped breastfeeding at 9months, I tried about 4 formulas and he would not drink it, so I tried cows milk, and exact same reaction, one back full of eczema, it was bizarre, as a last attempt I switched him to goats milk and again the rash cleared in a week.

Parker was solid and liquid averted by this time, and getting bottles into him was a non event, but he always took the first one of the day, and this was like sucking down a fire in his throat, so still to this day this is the only milk drink that he has. We were having a lot of other intolerance problems at this time, he was having rashes on his face and an unexplained leg rash, as well as he started his jerks then. So we eliminated milk, soy, gluten, eggs and we saw improvement. We also saw the kineseologist and eliminated his intolerance’s to the above things, the rashes etc… subsided. So I slowly re introduced him to all the no no foods, and we had a good reaction to all.

We did try to reintroduce goat milk and he had a small reaction but I am sure that he would have tolerated it again, if we persevered but at the time we were going away and rice milk is a lot more readily available than goats milk. So since then I have just stuck to the rice milk. I have plans after winter to put him back on the goat milk as it is always easier to find in Spring/Summer months.

Rach, just wondering what he has for calcium as rice milk has next to none in it? i hope he tolerates the goats milk when you try it next....best of luck!:hug:

I use a calcium enriched rice milk- Aussie Organic Calcium Enriched, plus he has tums for reflux anyway which have quite a lot of calcium.

aha! good old "aussie" organic.....that would be a winner cause its aussie!! glad to hear that, my nephew has rice milk for a metabolic disease where he cant have protein so thats why i asked as they have alot of probs with calcium with him....

Nic it has to be specified calcium enriched on the box, but they do have them.I *think* the allergist said 120mg calcium per 100ml.

Rachel, thank you for this fantastic post. I really appreciate that you are getting this information out to our MSPI crowd! You deserve a standing ovation!

Earth's Best has a shortbread type cookie called Letter of the Day Cookies that are M/S free. So good!

I purchased barbara's organic wild puff cereal, fruit punch.. my son is mspi.. When I got the cereal ingredients say mixed tocopherols (soy) for freshness.. Can he have these? I'm confused.. Is it soy oil, and not protein?

I"m sorry I missed this, Mary. I was away when you posted. :oops:

Okay, I don't recall the mixed tocopherols being on the box I checked when we bought this...so it's either new or I missed it. :oops: :oops:

I'll have to look that one up. I do know that *most* kids with soy protein intolerance don't do well with soy proteins, but are okay with soy fats. Not entirely sure if the tocopherols are fat- or protein-derivatives.

Will check and post here again.
