Cindy- hi, for milk sub. I use Dari-free which is a potato based milk

replacement. Others use rice bev. or soy, but my son is allergic to

both. The Dari-free to me is a thicker bev. and tastes not bad, I heard

many kids don't like it though. but LJ does and it sort of tastes like a

vanilla thick shake that was left out to defrost.

You said you took dairy away - what does your son drink?

You asked about starting this diet. Well you started with the first step

- remove the dairy. Also, that means cheeses, butters, etc. Once thats

accomplished you start with the gluten. I had my son allergy tested

first to make sure that I wasn't going to be giving him food that his

body would have problems with and this way the diet would be able to help

him with all these items removed also. Those are the only tests I did-

the allergy tests. A ggood book to get and read is " Special Diets for

Special Kids " by . It tells all about this diet, has recipes,

explains ways to replace items, etc. Its a good book - she mentions alot

about various tests and supplements, etc. , but I just skipped over all

that. Most do do the tests and use supps. - I just chose not too.

My son is a little over 1 year and 1 month on this diet and doing GREAT.

Good luck-

in New York (Long Island)
