Thank you four your help, info, and support. I never realized that dairy is in almost everything. Soy isn’t an option as they think she might be allergic to it as well. It’s just making me eat more fresh foods. I have found some substitutes that I like almost just has well. Dark Chocolate Almond Milk, Yum! I appreciated the links. Very helpful. Thank you also Jenn. – little sister

my daughter just turned 11 and that was the hardest birthday ever. I didn’t realize it would be this hard. I don’t necessarily feel older…..but i was very sad…and it takes a lot to get me sad!

I just had my first “Holy Cow, I’m OLD!” moment last Saturday. I walked into my cousin’s house where there was a bunch of cute younger guys sitting around watching a sports game when one of them turned out to be my 16 year old nephew who in his deep manly voice said, “Hey Auntie C.” Then this man who is taller than me (and used to be my little nephew) gave me a hug and I realized that these guys were NOT thinking “Who’s the hot chick?” but rather “Who’s the old lady?” Not one of my finer moments.

Hi Jenn- I found those sites above by just googling. There seems to be a wealth of info out there as dairy intolerance is so prevalent.

Re. aging. Hmm. Where to start? Honestly, I’ll just be cheesy and use a chiche: You are as old as you feel. Yes, you can do physical things to make yourself look as young as possible and I’m all for that as you know. But the mental part is unchangeable by anyone but you.

Personally, I do not see you in any way as old. For goodness sakes, you happen to be one of the coolest moms I know. I would have died to have you as a mom. You are energetic and adventuresome and competitive (in a good way) and you dress cool and you’re pretty. Seriously girl, what are you thinking?

Put it this way. I hang out with 24 yr olds who feel that I am somewhat their equal. I hang out with 70 yr olds who feel the same. That’s because the 24 yr olds and 70 yr olds all feel about 27 and that’s what I feel Make sense?

My advice: don’t fight it. If you feel older, that’s totally fine! If you feel younger, great. Whatever you feel, that’s what you are.

And I’m sending you hugs re. your mom- I need to email you to get an update.

Oh gosh, my heart goes out to your sister. It’s hard to give up dairy. I had to do that for a period of time when nursing Baby Boy and it was rough on me but really for him, it’s worth it. Unfortunately, I don’t know much of anything about lactose intolerance.

About getting older mentally, even though I’m in my 30s, I do feel as if I’m getting older. I look at things in a different way then when in the 20s. I guess it’s best to roll w/ it. I know. My advice sucks.

Many autism websites have resources for dairy/casein-free recipes, cookbooks, websites, etc. There’s a great cookbok called “The ADD/Autism Cookbook” which has lots of good dairy-free stuff. You might also try “Cooking for Isiah.”. And my personal favorite, the cookbook from Babycakes NYC. All the recipes are gluten, dairy, and refined sugar-free and taste yummy!
It’s funny, lately I’ve been feeling EXACTLY the way you describe! I find that yoga, tai chi and other centering exercises, added to my regular workouts, help a lot, as does reading about self-empowerment. Yes, some of it’s a bit cheesy, but it works.

Just educate yourself on the disadvantages of having a soy rich diet in children. Yes it’s a great milk alternative, but…. just evaluate for yourself.

Secondly, on this whole milk thing, just because a baby (you didn’t list the age of the child mentioned) is per say lactose intolerant, doesn’t necessarly mean REAL RAW milk intolerant. Most of the time what the baby is allergic to is only found in heavily processed milk and milk products. Our daiy industry approved by the FDA allows some pretty nasty stuff to be done to our commericially available products.

My baby, age 22 months, has multiple chemical sensitivity and lactose is one of them. However, when I pulled her off everything commericially made, and found a supply of raw milk, which I made into baby formula, (there are many many good recipes out there), there was no problem.

Now I don’t know about her specifically so of course I am not giving advice, I am simply sharing my own experience.

After what I found out about the dairy industry I will never again touch commercially produced milk and milk products! Same goes for most commercially produced vegitables and meats.

I am a proud momma who’s baby is plastic free, diaper free (ec method) soy free, and grocery store free and lovin it!

Once you learn substitutions, (egg replacer), (milk alternatives such as nut milks etc)
Karina can always be counted on for gluten free, and most of the time dairy free (if not use substitues) AMAZING food!!!
