Hi guys
We are SO new to this. My little 11m boy cannot have soy, milk, eggs, tomatoes. This includes raw, cooked or derivatives. I need to find a SPREAD to use on toast/bread and baking. I also need to find a flippin bread!! I have a few recipes but the marge I've been using has Soy emulsifiers in it and can't find one without

Nuttlex, www.safe.org.nz I think is the website. On a whole we don't use a spread.

Can he have wheat? If so, buy a breadmaker & make your own. If he can't try a special bread shop. Breadworks in PN make a rice bread that has next to nothing in it.

When my daughter had a dairy and soy free diet we used a spread from Naturally Organic. I think it was an Omega spread. It wasn't cheap but lasted ages.

According to our allergy specialist, most people who are allergic to soy can still have soy lecithin as it doesn't contain any soy protein. Both my kids are allergic to soy. DD is exclusively on neocate, but DS is fine with soy lecithin. SOy lecithin is in A LOT of foods so this makes life easier.

Otherwise avocado makes a good butter substitute and oil can be used in many baking recipes as a substitute.

OK so he started getting dark circles under his eyes and while we wait to see the dietitian (I've been calling and reminding them to put us in asap!), I decided to try get some really nutrient rich food into him. WELL! I gave him hummus which we thought was a fab idea, he had an allergic reaction! It took us a while to figure it out and only after googling "chickpeas" did we realise it's a legume close to soy! A mild to moderate reaction, spewing, crying for hours, very bad eczema on the brink of infection after 12hrs :( I took him to the GP and of course they don't know much about allergies and diagnosed it as a virus, because of his runny nose. (Which only came after he had the hummus). So alas I will wait for the dietitian and I see the pead in 3 weeks again. Nothing I could do but give his antihistamines and pamol.
I found some bread which was real expensive but he does love it and doesn't "throw it over the highchair" lol he must know how much it cost !
I will def do some baking once he settles down and I can get a minute. This allergy stuff takes up the entire day.
Allergy tests in 2 weeks (woohoo....and not woohoo at the same time)

I use to buy an organic bread from new world that was totally soy free, sorry can't remember the name of it, was the only organic bread they stocked though and was always just round with the rest of the bread. Also rice bread is ok (just check packet to be sure, as I'm sure you would anyway :))they were the only two I ever found. I even asked at a few bakeries but they all had soy in. I had read as well that the lecithin is suppose to be ok even for allergic people but I wanted to avoid it all just in case.

If you bake you can use 1/4 cup oil as an egg replacement, you don't even notice the difference and rice milk in place of normal milk. I use to bake this way and hubby never even noticed me make the switch. Oh and if you search for dairy free recipes you will find heaps where you don't require butter/spreads.

For sandwiches etc I just use to not use spread, he never noticed, cos he's never had any To use in sandwiches it was only really jam, mushed banana and some homemade spreads I would make out of pureed pumpkin/kumara etc.

Fingers crossed for the tests

As you've had a reaction to chickpeas don't get the protein rice milk. There is chickpeas in there. We went to oatmilk as it's the same as the normal rice milk & much nicer flavour.

I think the simplest idea would be to bake your own bread, it's certainly way cheaper.

Re the dark circles, this came through on an email list I am on "Usually in an atopic child, the darkness under the eyes are referred to as "Allergic Shiners" - the dark circles seen when the person is lacking quality sleep due to allergy symptoms, or problems breathing properly during sleep. It usually builds up over time, and goes away when they have a good night."

Wow that's amazing re the rice milk. And that's good about the eyes, I was a bit worried!
I never thought about using puree as a spread, that's a really good idea. He is feeling better 2day but rash is still bad, I might take him back to the doc, I'll wait a little and see...just bathed him in tea tree and put his creams on.

Not all rice milk has chickpeas in, just the ones that say added protein.

The hummus reaction might be a sesame seed allergy which my daughter has. We found out about the allergy when we first gave her hummus.
