Amy's brand frozen foods has a bunch of non-dairy stuff, and Morningstar fake chicken things are yummy. I feel for you, though. What a bummer. What about tofu and other soy products?

Thanks for the warning, Melissa, but now I'm REALLY depressed. And I have nothing left to eat. Thank god I bought potatos at the grocery store. Mmmm. Dry potatos. *sniff* I think goat is allowed, but I've never liked goat cheese. Does the milk have a similar tang to it? Sadly, Anna, Lactaid products still contain milk protein.

I highly recommend rice dream, both the milk and the ice cream. Beware that products that are lactose-free are not necessarily free of milk protein, which is supposedly the culprit in these infant allergies. There are some breads that don't have milk protein in them, but most do, so you have to be careful. I'm looking on the bright side: I just got back into my favorite Lucky jeans yesterday, I'm sure in part by the restrictive diet.
