I've just started watching alittle boy. He's allergic to ALL milk products and Eggs. I never realized how much of the food out there is prepared with milk and eggs in them. My question is does anyone have to some receipes for cookies/cakes, meals where you can substitute these ings. I don't mind cooking from scratch. Just never had this arise before. Any help would be welcomed.
Thanks everyone.

What can I do next?

My son was lactose intolerant and allergic to eggs so bad that even if it had been cooked on the surface that had eggg on it he would have a reaction.
Check with Mom is Soy milk, Rice Milk are ok?
There is a powdered egg replacer you can find is some stores called ENER-G this works great -TIP: us an electric wisk to mix the powder and water as the direction say 1egg =###
If you follow any recipe with the use of say milk and this ener-g you should be fine BE AWARE Margerine and butter also have milk in it but there is vegan butter
Chocolate has Milk in it, I am not sure about dark chocolate I think that might be safe id you break it up and us that as chunks for cookies.
There are also Vegan cake mixes that support these allergies too, yes more expensive but safe.

My son is the same way. You can substitute soy milk or rice milk for milk. You can use dairy-free margarine for butter (Nucoa, Earth's Balance, Best Life are all good brands, but read the labels to be 100% sure. Look for words like whey, casein, caseinate in addition to milk, milkfat, milk solids, etc)

For eggs, you can use the following mixture to substitute for each egg in a recipe:
1.5 TBSP oil
1.5 TBSP water
1 tsp baking powder
mix all three together, then add to the recipe where you would normally add the eggs. Double for two eggs

With those, you can turn almost any regular recipe into an allergy friendly one. For cheese, Tofutti makes good sliced cheese and Follow Your Heart makes good cheese for melting (though neither is as good as the real thing, of course). Many brands of soy cheese still contain milk proteins, so make sure you're careful (the above mentioned brands are safe).

Two good cookbooks that I highly recommend:
http://www.amazon.com/Milk-Free-Egg-Free-Nut-Free-Allergy...

http://www.amazon.com/Food-Allergy-Mamas-Baking-Book/dp/1...

(note: the brownies in the first book come out very crumbly. I don't recommend them)

Ghiradelli brand semi sweet chocolate chips are dairy free.

Great blog (by author of the second cookbook): http://www.foodallergymama.com/

I guess you could buy some vegan cookbooks. As I understand it they don't use any products from animals....

answers from Richmond on

My 6 year old is allergic to milk and eggs (along with a mazillion other things), but hers aren't severe... she can't have a glass of milk or a hardboiled egg, but she can have some things with milk and egg in them. Like I can't make home made pancakes, but I can buy the frozen kind... weird, huh? It's trial and error with allergies... my daughter can tolerate some things she's allergic to pretty well, but some things make her eczema flare up pretty fast (like LETTUCE, WHO THE HECK IS ALLERGIC TO LETTUCE?!?!?!)

Again, like I said, it's trial and error. Your son may be like my daughter and can tolerate those things in different forms.
