Hi Kathleen. Carson can tolerate soy oils and soy lecithin. Lifesaver because so many foods have soy oil. Carson lives on the following: scrambled eggs, rice cereal, oatmeal, vandecamp fish sticks, beef hot dogs, hormel spag or hormel mac n beef, Golden Oreos, Kid’s choice white bread, potatoes, french fries (homemade in canola oil), hamburgers, homemade goulash, Smartie candies, raisins, ham, HyVee vegetarian vegetable soup, Dinty Moore beef stew, meatloaf (hamb, Campbell’s tom soup, eggs, saltine crackers, salt, pepper), corn, green beans, Tyson Chicken nuggets, tator tots (Orida I think), Spagetti with Hunts traditional, lazanya with Hunts traditional, Old El Paso taco seasoning, Jiffy muffin mixes, some Duncan Hines cake mixes, HyVee brownie mix. (Some of these things have soy oil or lecithin, but give it a try with Colton and see how he does. Once we knew Carson could handle the oil, it opened up a whole new world of food for him!)
Good luck!
I have a permanent list that is affixed to my refrigerator that I use when I go to the grocery store. I write down things Carson can have and I try to add a new thing or two each week that I find on the shelf. I try not to “search” for too many new things at one time. It really can be time consuming and with child in-tow, can make things so hectic. It is nice that “most” items have soy listed as an allergen after the list of ingredients. I have found some that don’t, but that is because the product was produced before 1/06 – scary that some items have that long of a shelf life!
I pray that when I get a really good list for Carson he will be able to tolerate milk and soy and I won’t need the list! Good luck to you! The food manufacturers also DO change the ingredients from time to time and don’t have a note on the box/pkg, so I always do a quick scan on the ingredient list b4 throwing it in my cart.
