I hadn't either - Catherine doesn't have it anyway I don't add it to any of her food and its not an ingredient in any of the stuff I buy for her, I check now.

I'm almost picking that it's the sugar which is actually in the cane or the least processed sugar that they would be talking about. I think normal highly processed white sugar will be fine.

GP wasn't the most helpful she does have eczema and seemed to think it was an age thing, she did say to stay away from diary easy enough to do with her diet, how do I eliminate it from mine?

switch to rice milk or soy milk, and use Olivani spread (it's the only dairy free spread) I always found Soy milk nicer than rice milk personally. It's in the same isle as coffee etc. And do the same switch if your a baker, and in mashed potatoes etc, you can't really tell the difference. Dairy free pikelets: 1tbsp Olive oil, 2 cups flour, then rice/soy milk to right consistancy. I cook like 2-3 batches up at one go, freeze in portions, a great snack on the go with Golden syrup, for me as well as kids! lol Love pikelets

I like soy milk so that's easy and will grab some olivani will be a good change for me from butter.

Thanks for the dairy free pikelets recipe 2crazykids. Im thinking of going dairy free Im not breastfeeding anymore but DS is intolerant so it would make life simpler for cooking/shopping if we all did until he grows out of it (hopefully hehe)
Also with the RAST tests if you do see a paed they will organise that but my understanding is it is not always very accurate at such a young age? We are having it at 1 year...

Can you use oliviani instead of butter in baking?

GP's can order RAST & skin prick tests.
Taking dairy out of things you make is easy, just switch to a dairy free spread instead of butter & use rice/soy/oat milk instead of cows milk.
Basically with foods you buy watch out for anything that contains dairy or has whey/casin products, the MFD database has a list of dairy free foods.
Or if in doubt ask, there are a few of us who are dairy free around here.

Awesome :) DH has bad exzema and we've never figured out why so maybe going dairy free could have other spinoffs, who knows

My advice if you don't want to go "milk" free on coffee or tea oat milk is definitely a nicer taste than soy.

Yep, olivani substitutes for butter in most baking.
A&C's mum, my brother was intolerant to sucrose (cane sugar) and fructose, and apparently it is pretty common. He did grow out of it though, fortunately.
Good luck C&J, it's so tricky to figure it out. Especially if, like DD, she's intolerant to more than one thing - when I went dairy free initially, I simultaneously upped my fruit intake and turns out fruit was just as bad so I saw no improvement. When I tried adding dairy back in though, she definitely got worse.

Food intolerances where to start?
