milk substitute

[Guest guest]

Can someone recommend a good milk substitute that is gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free? I found out that the rice milk I had given my girls had trace amounts of gluten. So we switched to a gluten-free brand. Then the DAN! took the girls off of soy. The new rice milk had soy. Then we finally found an almond milk that my daughters love that is GFCFSF. HOWEVER, my PDD daughter has recently started acting very odd, stimming has returned, echolalia, etc. So really this is two questions - could the almond milk be causing this behavior (it's the only thing diet-wise that I have changed recently), and if so, can someone recommend an alternative - preferably organic and fortified. This diet is not easy!!!- Kirk-To: mb12 valtrex From: bellbaby@...Date: Wed, 24 Nov 2010 13:15:17 -0500Subject: Re: Re: in despair, at a loss

Almond is high phenol/salicylate and high oxalate. I stay away from them now (one of my fav foods!)

Lucy,

He actually started a mild cough before i switch to the almond. when he continue coughing after 2 days i stopped the almond and its been over a week now and he's still coughing.

He's had an allergy test done and almond is class 1 compared to soy which was class 4.

But he's really acting weird, I dont know if its the househelp that has this negative effect on him cos he wont let her do anything for him, which previously wasnt like that. or is he traumatised from too much medicine cos he's been medicated (herbal not drugs) for 2 weeks. I dont know the answer myself, i can only try my hardest to eliminate each possibility one at a time.

But thank you very much for your kind advice.

Rgrds,

Fanny
