- List of Common Dairy Ingredients- great to print out and take with you to the grocery store
- List of Common Soy ingredients and "hidden" forms of soy- also a great printout
- This site also address the issue of "soybean oil and soy lecithin", specifically:
"Research shows that soy proteins are present in soybean oil and soy lecithin. However, it is not clear if there is enough soy protein in these ingredients to cause a reaction in most people with soy allergies. Some people are more sensitive to soy than others, so follow your doctor's advice about these ingredients."
- Our boys were sensitive to soybean oil and lecithin- therefore, the meal ideas on this site do not contain these ingredients.
- Kellymom.com- a fantastic breastfeeding site with lots of accurate information about MSPI
- Pam cooking spray has soy
- Prenatal vitamins can contain soy... double check yours to make sure it doesn't
- Deli meats often contain milk ingredients (boars head does not)
- Chewing gum and other mints often have soy (tic tacs do not)
- McDonald's french fries

I heard about your blog from Kelli Ingram. I had a dairy- and soy-free baby, too, and it looks like our new three-week-old might be heading in that direction.
Just FYI, we found a cooking spray made by Bakers and Chefs that is 100% Canola Oil (we got ours at Sam's Club). Also, you should probably double-check this, but I believe that Chick-fil-A fries all of their food in peanut oil, which makes their fries and nuggets soy-free.
I was wondering if you were able to find a soy-free brand of multi- or prenatal vitamins. I've brought home a couple now, only to find say buried in some obscure place among the ingredients.
Thanks for your posts! -Ginger (Kansas City, MO)
Sorry for the typo! I'm still a little sleep-deprived. :)
Hey Ginger! Thanks for stopping by our blog! That's awesome that you found a SDF cooking spray- our grocery stores around here only carry ones that have Soy Lecithin (which my boys are sensitive to) so, that's great that you have found a good alternative! I'm going to try to look for that! (We aren't members at Sams- if you find it online somewhere, pass the address along!)
As far as chickfila goes... this is a link to their allergen chart:
http://www.chick-fil-a.com/Food/Allergen
it's very user friendly in my opinion :) (just like everything else at Chickfila.. i love that place!)
According to that chart, the fries are dairy and soy free (yay! :) ), but their breaded things, such as nuggets and strips do contain DAIRY, so they would be a no go for DSF eating. (They indeed, do not contain soy, so if all you have to avoid is, SOY (not dairy too) then those would work. :)
I take a prescription prenatal, called CitraNatal Assure (here's a link: http://www.citranatal.com/Product/CitraNatal-Assure.aspx)
It does not contain dairy or soy according to the ingredients label. I also have an OTC "Womens One-A-Day Women's prenatal" that I've taken that does not contain soy.
Hope that helps! :) Thanks for saying hey! :)
