The soy-free vegan who eats meat and eggs

Yep, as of today, that's our boy.

This morning our wonderful GI doctor called me to tell us that allergy testing had come back showing allergy to dairy and soy. A lot of allergy.

To dairy and soy.

Anyone want to tell me how to nourish a toddler with no dairy?
Especially my not-quite-toddling toddler who, at this point, after weeks of worsening food aversions, pretty much only eats yogurt, string cheese, Pediasure, and Chex Mix (which needs soy protein, why? To make it a health snack?).

We are very relieved to have an answer and to have something to do. We are thankful it's not something that can't be fixed.

We are ready to move forward. We are eagerly anticipating the end of vomiting and the beginning of real weight gain.

It seems, however, that we have one more hurdle.

Formula identified by serial number isn't generally stocked of supermarket shelves.
In the interest of truth in advertising, I'd like to decode some of the marketing statements made on the web page linked above.

Statement: "100% non-allergenic free amino acids"
Interpretation: "tasty whole proteins broken down into sulfur flavored building blocks"

Statement: "$115 for a case of 27 boxes"
Interpretation: "You better hope insurance covers it because that's only a 9-day supply"

Statement: "Available in 3 great flavors"
Interpretation: "It's not Pediasure. It's not chocolate. Your 14 month old will sip, smile, shake his head, and cheerfully say bye-bye as he knocks the cup to the floor."

Suddenly Nathan has two "tasty" medicines to take morning and night, one at lunch time, and a fairly foul tasting beverage to nourish and hydrate himself with. He's definitely going to grow up thinking "fruit-flavored" is a curse word.

We'll adjust. Tomorrow we'll offer Nate some coconut milk yogurt and some vegan bunny cereal and hope he actually swallows some of it. And, of course, there's always mango.
