I created this blog to #1) track information about MSPI-friendly foods and #2) share with the online community what I have learned from raising two children with MSPI.
My boys have what I consider to be a more severe form of MSPI. They cannot tolerate any form of cow's milk or soy (including soy oil/soy lecithin), any nutrients derived from cow's milk, any traces of milk or soy, or the gums that are similar to soy (guar gum and arabic/acacia gum).
In the beginning of their diagnosis I really struggled to find foods that I could feed them, whether those foods be homemade or prepared. Because I was nursing my younger child, I also had to alter my diet so that it was free of all the foods my baby couldn't digest himself.
For this blog I plan to share our story more in-depth as well as go into detail on allergy labeling and "safe" brands.

I'm not surprised you feel the need to talk to others about this problem. Since you girls were milk intolerant (most of you) at least for a while I found out that I was on my own figuring out how to handle this at school and home. It required a doctor's note for you to be given orange juice instead of milk and still it was a struggle with the school.
