Dairy free life

When my daughter was almost 5 months old we found out that she has a serious allergy to milk products.Because I was and still am breastfeeding her I have to live my live like I have the allergy as well. 

At first this was not easy, because I found out that so many food products contain milk products and some of the milk products have a name that I had never heard of before. To be sure not to eat any milk products I have started to make most of my own bread and cake, which is no so bad because I love baking :) Here is one of my favorite cake, I have mixed the recipe up from other recipes and put into it what I like dark chocolate and cinnamon - and it is totally dairy free.

Here is list I have one my refrigerator and have given a copy to the grandmothers:
Allergy for milk and all milk products list of words that can be used in food about milkproducts.

• Mjólk, milk, mælk, melk, mjölk

• Mjólkurduft, powder milk, mælkepulver, melkpulver

• Þurrmjólk, dry milk

• Undanrennuduft, skimmed milk powder

 Other word that can be named in the list of ingredients:

• Butter, carmel flavor, casein, caseinate, cheese, cream, curds, lactalbumin, milk

• „high protein flavor“ lactose, „natural flavoring“, rennet casein, solids, sour cream,

• Whey and yogurt.

Life without dairy doesn´t have to be so bad - you just have to be willing to try other things and make experiments with new ingredients :)

Enjoy your day!
