More About Milk Allergies

I have started my research, and I am completely flabbergasted - how do you feed a child who should no longer be relying on formula if you cannot give him milk???? In my research, I have learned that even soy milk can contain milk proteins, and that milk proteins can hide in the ingredient lists of many processed foods (like in his favorite Gerber graduates veggie crackers, or gok-goks as he calls them).

I have learned a few things so far...

• Milk allergies are not a reaction to lactose, which is the sugar in milk. They are a reaction to the proteins (one or more) in milk (thanks, Joel). So butter is not OK!
• Someone can react to one or more of the proteins in milk, and if whey is the only problem, then foods made with pasteurization and some of the harder cheeses may be OK.
• A milk allergy can lead to anaphylactic shock (but it's rare).
• A dietitian's help is recommended.

Does anyone know of some good resources - books, websites, magazines, etc. for helping parents deal with milk allergies? Most of the information I am finding is about diagnosis and symptoms.

I guess I have to throw away his favorite crackers)-:
