I've heard a lot of bad things about soya, its something I'd like to take a deeper look into, when I have time. I loved the rice dream, it was so yummy the chocolate was awesome! But the diapers I changed, ugh, well I won't go into detail. I've never heard of oat milk? But there's a bit of discussion on whether oats are gluten free. Gluten free is pricey. Ya dairy free is actually cheaper for us too. A loaf of bread is $5 and that's a tiny loaf at that. I have been making the kids bread just because Tristan's on an antiyeast protocol right now. I haven't sat down and compared costs but I'm sure its cheaper, I'm able to load it veggies too! Mmmmm potato pancakes, I'll have to give that a try. I'll take a look for Doves Farms, I love to hear of great brands! Kelly you are my dairy free diva!!

I find that its no more expensive so long as you don't try to go like for like, so we hardly every buy vegan "cheese" as most of it yukky (!) and also its highly highly processed stuff! We have been trying lots of diffrent milks and one tip I think is very good is that if one brand of milk disagrees with you try another brand. I didn't want to have the kids on lots of soya and they don't like he taste anyway so if I use soya milk I use it in tea and coffee and in cooking because it is the cheaper of the dairy free milks. For the kids drinks they get rice dream with calcium and vitamins and for hot chocolate we use organic oat milk just because it make s GREAT hot chocolate!!! I can imagine the gluten free part is expensive (we don't find dairy free any more expensive at all really) as the gluten free cereals and breads I've seen are stupid prices!! Do you have a bread maker?? Because then you could make your own bread?? Or how about quietly "weaning" the kids off bread as a staple and introducing more crackers (I don't knwo which..sorry!) or potato pancakes for lunch with sandwich fillings? Anyway...good luck...I'm shopping tomorrow so I shall have a gander at what gluten free stuff they have. Do you get Doves Farms flours over there?? They are a UK firm and I've used their gluten free flours before includingthe bread one and it was really nice! x I’m pretty good on the dairy free!!
