We only have Silk soymilk organic,it's lactose free. I've heard from the health food store rice milk but I don't have time to drive clear across a city to get it.
geesh I thought taking him off of dairy and putting him on Soy milk was good.
This stuff is way to confusing!!
Use Rice Vanilla milk. MMM. Or Almond. There is even chocolate almond. The vanilla flavored ones are very sweet.
You can also use DariFree--a potato based milk, comes in a powder, so you can use for baking as well.

eta: I think your boys are adorable as well
Does anyone else find themselves making this diet harder than it needs to be?... I am so intimidated by it... ugh.
The reason you should try to eliminate soy as well, is that the proteins in soy are exrtemely simliar to those found in dairy and gluten. Most kids who have probs with G and C also usually have problems with soy as well. The first time we tried the diet a few months ago, we had our daughter on a soy formula and didn't see many changes in her. This time around we eliminated soy, and have already seen some positive changes after only almost 2 weeks. I am hopeful after a few more weeks that I'll have more positive news to share! BTW, your boys are adorable!
I would suggest that everyone put the words "Cinderella's Dark Side" into their search engine and read the well-written paper by Sally Fallon and Mary Enig, two PhDs who have researched the dangers of soy. The effects of soy on our developing children will absolutely blow your mind, I'm afraid. Talk about estrogen and "excitotoxin" overload. There is no food we consume that is richer in estrogens and glutamic acid (the parent protein in MSG) than soy.
You can also go to the site of the Weston A. Price Foundation and click on their "Soy Alert" link for further study. I think everyone will then be asking how in the world soy became known as health food.
I refer to soy as "the third plague" behind gluten and dairy and for very good reason. I could write a novel about soy in this post but the paper by Fallon and Enig pretty much says it all. The only thing they don't cover in depth is the role of soy protein in "excitotoxin"-related disorders such as epilepsy, pain syndromes and neurodegenerative disorders.
