The new packaging of Vitalite dairy free spread has milk listed as a allergen.. Supermarkets should be recalling the product but please avoid giving in to your children if they are allergic to dairy!

About SoSo and Boo...
Soso and boo are my beautiful baby girls. I could not be prouder of them or more passionate about everything they do (as any parent would be).
Our journey with food began almost 3 years ago it has been long, complicated, joyus and is now entering a new phase of complete confusion.
What do you give a baby who can't tolerate food???
My girls have a condition called Eosinophillic gastrointestinal disease, (simply) it is an inflammatory bowel disease caused by food. There body reacts to most food causing behavioural symptoms, gastro inflammation, joint pain, vomiting, headaches and many more symptoms. I am lucky soso's condition can be managed by nalcrom (anti inflammatory)and exclusion diet. Unsafe foods are, dairy, soy, wheat, gluten, corn, oats, egg, tomatoes, peas, tuna, apple, mango, pineapple... I think that's it but it is forever changing.
Whilst SoSo has been stable for a few months the 1oz of oats milk we tried her on created a huge reaction so her diet is stripped back as before. That I can cope with...
Boo however is reacting to everything, we have stripped her and my diet back to rice, potato and meat for a week to clear her system in the hope her inflammation goes down and the reintroduction of food can begin.
The hardest thing for us is that we always thought boo would be the same as SoSo but never really considered her being worse or unsafe foods being different. It's been really hard for me to get my head round, I thought I had his condition down and we were doing great then the curve ball got thrown.
So my re-education about food has begun, I am going to have to get even more serious about providing the girls with the best nutritionally balanced diet I possible can no matter how limited it is,and be as creative as possible with those ingredients.
I hope you can take ideas from what I post, leave comments and suggestions to help me out too, I have had a really s**t but I'm going to be proactive and do my best.
