My DD is 11mths and severely intolerant to all dairy products and soy too

Does anyone know of any bread you can buy that doesn't have soy flour in it as all the ones I've looked at seem to have it in.

TIA

You shouldn't need milk powder for breadmaker recipe.

Trick is to have breadmaker our on counter and all stuff easy to hand and eventually you get so fast at loading it up it stops seeming like a chore.

Kids love breadmaker bread best here too, though we do buy shop bread too. (Did someone say M&S for soya free? Pretty sure some is.)

hows things simpson?

Am a bit worried about DD TBH as she has had very runny poos for the last couple of days and I think it might be the oat milk...

Have you ever heard of that causing a problem?

But i guess it could be normal teething runny poo (sorry TMI)

She hasn't had any bread for 2 days so I don't think its that...although she had some toast this evening and she was soooo excited she was grabbing it out of my hand and stuffing it in her mouth

Simpson, I find teething poos have a smell all their own (kind of yeasty and 'high', if that makes any sense).

I heartily recommend Rice Dream + (the calcium fortified one) as it tastes good, has the calcium and is gluten-free.

The dietitian got me to keep a 3-day food diary, including things like portion size, method of cooking, how much was eaten, and then she used that to work out his nutrient intake. Apparently she got it wrong the first time and he is not lacking in calcium (so the Rice Dream + is good!), but he is low on iron and calories. She said not to worry about the calories as he is growing OK. (He's small, but well proportioned.)

Here is the bread recipe I developed when dd was dairy and soya-free. Add the ingredients in the order your bread maker booklet suggests. I do it like this:

1 cup + 70mls extra of water
2 tablespoons sugar (any sort)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
4 tablespoons Rice Dream +
4 tablespoons oil (sunflower or olive work equally well)
3 cups white bread flour
1 cup brown/wholemeal bread flour (you could use 4 cups white and omit the brown, if you prefer)
1 1/4 teaspoons dried yeast (I use Dove's Farm yeast)

You can also add sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, linseed, etc. though probably not for your dd as she is still so young.

Select the 'white bread, 2lb loaf' option (menu 1 on my machine) and press 'Start'.

I find baking gluten-free loaves a bit of a faff, so I buy ds's bread, but the Glebe Farm packet mix is good and much better if you follow the instructions for 'baking by hand' and not in the machine.

HTH!

PS I'm with you on the 'am I paranoid?' thing. I worry about that, a lot! ((Hugs))

Thanks Ruby.

Well it can't be teething poo as it has been going on for a couple of weeks now (not every day though) about 30mins after breakfast she does a poo and it is horrid with bits of food in it from her tea the night before (sorry TMI)

Going to start a food diary I think as we are seeing dietician on 12th Feb so will be good to take.

Have left a message for her pead to call back and see what he says but he is a wanker most unhelpful which is a whole different story

Tried her with oat milk with added calcium and that gave her very runny poo but will try the rice dream.

TBH I just want to know what she can definately eat and what she can't iyswim.

Surely there must be some tests that they can do??

Hi,
There are many specialist breads out there for different allergies. I got the Linseed Bread from Fayrefood in Hampshire which is very tasty although it does contain eggs.
They have also made me a selection of gluten and wheat free cakes which were very tasty for a party(apart from the polenta one which I didn't like).
I know they do lots of different breads including Pea flour and rice lour but I haven't tried them so I can't say what they are like.
The Flax bread is gorgeous but very high in fibre so need to start gradually with it but it is my favourite and nutty without the nuts. My only contact details I can find is [email protected] but I can't find the paperwork. I shall investigate further to see what I can find out

hobnob57 · 18/02/2011 14:15

I'm sorry I've only cscan-read this thread (about to dash out for nursery run) but wanted to add my support. I'm on my second intolerant child and this one's list is much longer: dairy, wheat/gluten, soy, egg, nuts.

She got a month of increasingly runny poos after being prescirbed Abidec vitamin drops before I got my magnifying glass out and looked at the label to find they contain peanut oil ShockAngry

Tesco finest multiseed bread is soy-free (or at least it was).

There are no tests for anything that is a delayed reaction-type allergy, such as gastro symptoms. My consultant says a food diary and food challenges are the most accurate tests by far.

It makes you feel over protective, paranoid and exasperated. And is very tiring. Hence why we are doing family meals based around about 5 or recipes ATM. No energy or interest in thinking up new ones... but the girls are healthy and happy Smile

Hi, just found this thread and hope you don't mind me joining in! DD saw the dietician and was diagnosed with milk protein intolerance a few months ago, we were warned it would probably get worse once I stopped breast feeding her and there was a 60% chance also intolerant to soy. Tried her on soy for the first time two weeks ago (which coincided with us changing our normal bread because Kingsmill was on special offer) and there have been dreadful runny poos ever since.

Have discovered that almost all sliced bread has soy flour in, even the two independent supposedly healthy bakeries here use soy flour and bread improver containing soy. However, ASDA own brand bakers own wholemeal doesn't have soy (and this is the bread we always used to have).

Anyone know what the rules are on instore bakery breads/cakes etc? Do they have to declare that they do contain soy or nuts if they are in there? Or is there some sort of exemption? The ASDA ones just say 'may contain nuts and other allergens' which isn't very helpful!

simpson · 22/04/2011 22:19

cannot believe i started this thread so long ago, time flies Blush

DD (now 3) seems to tolerate M&S finest white loaf (dairy/soya free) fine and when she has stayed at my mum's she has got a loaf from waitrose for her.

She also tolerates tescos own crumpets too Smile

However she has now developed an intolerance to oats and barley Sad which makes breakfast difficult Sad

She is being referred to chelsea & westminster hosp for possible gut biopsy although I am not sure whether she will need to eat the foods she is intolerant to for it to work iyswim, which I am very reluctant to do

hannabelle - do you mean bakeries within a supermarket?? As they will usually tell you whats in them.

My DD is fine with things that say they have been made in a factory that handles dairy/soya as long as its not in the actual product iyswim.

Sorry I know this is an old thread but wanted to add in case it helps anyone who has also been searching like I have. My 16 week old DD has CMPA and I have also worked out she reacts to soya. I'm breastfeeding so have had to cut dairy and soya out my diet. Asda do a sliced bread called Jacksons in a white, a brown and a seeded loaf, £1.45, no dairy or soya flour and only the brown contains barley Smile HTH

Cantwineitherway1 · 04/02/2018 20:26

I havent read all the replies, but the lidl basics 40 ish pence bread (white, medium sliced) here only has wheat. Its the only white bread ive found!

thechease · 05/02/2018 11:38

Jacksons sold in Waitrose, also the wholemeal duchy in Waitrose and I just discovered yesterday in Tesco - Tesco Multiseed Farmhouse Batch Bread and Tesco Finest Super Seeded Bread. All are really nice too.
