Dairy / Soya Free - 'Go To' Food Recommendations

DS (2.11) was on nutramigen as a baby due to suspected cmpa. Went through the milk ladder at age 1 and all fine. Absolutely fine in fact - drinking lots of cows milk and pooping regularly.

Fast forward a year or so ago (age 2.2m?) and he became very constipated - 9 months later and various GP referrals have put us back to dieticians whilst we wait on a v.long gastro waiting list. Dieticians have suggested 4 week trial of going dairy / soya free again to see if that helps. I'm dubious but will obviously give it a go (DS currently only poos every 5-6 days despite being on stool softener and laxatives).

So - we've done the diet before, but I've forgotten (blanked) most of it. Off to shops today to buy oatly, coconut yoghurts etc etc - but does anyone else have any 'must have' (tasty) diary / soya free recommendations? Crumpets were good last time, as were potato waffles... what else should I get?

Coconut oil might help get the bowels moving. (Not sure on quantities.)

You can make flat bread very easily using chick pea flour and water, roughly 50:50. Add salt, black pepper and some flavourful seeds such as nigella and cumin. I usually mix the flour with buckwheat flour for consistency and vitamins. (I believe it's wf but not gf - worth checking though.)

Anyway, I mix it all in a big jar and shake - can easily store what's not used in the fridge. I fry it like a pancake, with coconut oil. It seems to taste best when cooked quite well, almost burnt.

Serve with homemade soup for dipping or spread with houmous or whatever and roll.

Just had a look for the recipe I usually use but can't find it. this recipe looks ok though Smile

Just wanted to add to the go to list, Aldi have started doing bags of pea snacks they look like bags of crisps but are made with peas. I know they are DD but not sure about sf.
