Dairy-free household

So, as a little background, as any of you know, we are a BIG dairy household.  Just about anthing and everything we eat has some sort of dairy in it.  My family could easily go through 8 gallons of milk a week, not to mention 2-3 lbs of cheese, plus butter, sour cream, youghrt, etc.  Anyway, both of my boys have very dry, itchy, ezema-ie skin.  My oldest son has never reacted to the skin alergy testing, nor has he every responded to any alergy-type medication.

On a whim the other day, I decided to give my turd-butt some of the allergy medication.  Needless to say, he actually responds to it.  The problem is, we would prefer not to give him mediciation.  So, the typicall top thing that kids are alergic to is dairy, egg, tomato stuff.  Which leads to the title of this post.  I have decided for 2 weeks for our house to abstain from dairy to see where it leaves my two boys.

Do you have any idea how difficult it is to find food (that we eat) that has not dairy in it??!?!!?  Oh- and, soy milk gives pre-pubescent boys boobs, so we're going to avoid that.  Soy milk has MUCH higher levels of estrogen in it than cow's milk, and has been proven to give little boys increased breast tissue.  Anyway, in order to prevent that, we went with rice milk.  We'll see how that goes. 

So, as a result, the next two weeks of meals are going to be either a little different, or quite boring.  We'll see.  I'm REALLY not sure what I am going to do if this actually works.  Cry maybe??  Make a lot of phone calls to my friend Tish, who gets to pleasure of having a dairy free house as well as MANY other alergens?  Something, anyway...
