Lotions.

One thing that alot of people may not realize is that you have to read every ingredients list on anything that goes in or on Char's body. Surprisingly there are quite a few lotions and soaps that use milk, soy, or tree nut oils in them (almond is very popular). Please read the labels to double check. I will put together a list of the stuff I use once I gather them all.

Earth Balance.

I was happy to see that earth balance makes a soy free formula that uses pea protien instead. I will bake with the regular vegan earth balance but still have not put it directly on her food due to the soy.

Same goes for veganaise. I ate it while I nursed her and she got it indirectly. I still have not given it directly to her because of the soy.

One of these days I will find the courage to food challenge her to some soy.

Rita's Waterice.

Here is a link to Rita's allergy information. Charlotte can have every flavor of water ice except chocolate chocolate chip. And she can NOT have any of the cream ices.

Babycakes.

An amazing cookbook. You still have to double check the ingredients because they may contain tree nuts or gluten.

Sunbutter.

Meal Ideas.


Any rice pasta is good.


Applefate Farms has hotdogs that don't have casein or soy.




Snackfoods.


Rice dream milk is good. I get the enriched original, vanilla, and chocolate.
Cherrybrook kitchen has great packaged bake goods. Just use the earth balance and egg replacer. Some cheapo icings (like superfresh) are dairy free.



Snackfoods.

Original flavor is safe.


Rice dream on the gluten free cones and some jimmies is her favorite summer treat.


Not all pirates booty is safe bc some has chedder and some has soy flour. But these corn sticks are good.

Some veggie chips claim that they may contain peanuts or tree nuts. This brand in the chip shape is safe. The sticks claim they may have traces of nuts.


All enjoy life cookies are safe. Enjoy life is a safe brand free of all top 8 allergens. Just check their priducts for sesame.


Most tortilla chips are safe. Mostly corn and salt. Some of the flavored ones like lime chips have dairy.

This corn cereal is good. She will eat it with her rice milk and flax meal. Double check it isn't the peanut flavored one.


Snackfoods.


Most marshmellow brands should be okay but double check.

Plain potato chips should be safe as long as they are not cooked in peanut oil.

Rice chex (plain, the chocolate and other flavors have peanut flavoring.)

Not all semi sweets are vegan but the trader joes are.

The Glutino pretzels are safe, but not the flavored ones or sesame. Sesame is a no.



EnviroKids are safe but look out for the peanut flavored ones.
