She has multiple allergies that we’re hoping she’ll outgrow, but for now we need to avoid
Dairy
Eggs (mixed with other ingredients is fine, like challah or pancakes)
Peanuts
Tree nuts
Sesame
Soy

She eats a lot of bread, cereal, certain fruits and veggies but she mostly likes carbs Wink

She likes chicken from the soup and very soft meat (like in cholent) but I don’t want her to eat the same things every day… I want more variety but she eats a lot of repetitive food. A meal is usually a carb and some fruit or vegetable.

I would love to give her cheese or yogurt but that’s out. She loved scrambled eggs but reacted immediately.

Looking for more sources of protein or just some different things. Experienced allergy moms, please help with easy and safe foods!

She’s 10 months old kah and chews very nicely with a couple of teeth.

Avocado, meat (meatballs, pulled beef, soft hamburger) turkey (uncured turkey breastfeeding deli), chicken, salmon, other fish (tuna, fish sticks), chick peas, make your own chumus (many commercial ones have techina), veggie burgers.

Coconut yogurt

Have you tried baked dairy? You said she can tolerate baked eggs. Have you spoken to your allergist? Eggs and dairy are the 2 food groups that some children who are allergic can tolerate when they're baked and this builds up a slow tolerance until later on they're able to tolerate it fresh.

Something to discuss with your allergist.

Depends on how high her numbers are.

She’s off all dairy after a bad reaction to dairy formula. We’re going to try again in a couple of months.

You should focus more on proteins than carbs and fruits. Make a pot of chicken soup with veggies and add a 1/4 cup barley or split peas. That's a whole meals she can eat for a couple days. She can have salmon and broccoli. Beef stew with sweet potato and carrots. Sloppy joes with beans for extra fiber. All this can be made on Sunday and keep some ok the fridge and other portions frozen for later in the week. She can have leftover choulent as well

Fruits can be snacks

Make sure your baby gets tested for chickpea and lentil and pea allergy because they have a similar protein structure to sesame. I thought my baby was fine with chickpea and not sesame but turned out he was anaphylactic to chickpeas too! Dr tested for lentil and levels came up even higher than chickpea. I'm lucky I didn't give him lentils yet..

Dr praegers makes two frozen littles that r good for allergies. Cauliflower broccoli fries that have beans so getting protein and veg and also there is a birthday cake different animal shapes that taste like a carrot cake and made from sweet potato beans and other veg. Also get from the heart eggless mayo. It's the best mayo with no eggs. I make veg kugels with it and tuna fish / patties

I forgot to mention chulent!!!! It's the best! Save it from shabbos for the next 3-4 days of the week.
Also make potato kugel without eggs. I use a bag of Yukon gold potatoes put in food processor on the blade that makes it like applesauce consistency. Add cup of flour and cup and half olive oil. Half tsp baking powder and tsp salt . Everyone loves it by us

Can you test for dairy earlier?
DD reacted when nursing when I had dairy and reacted to formula.
Didn't react at all to regular dairy.

Sweet potatoes are great, very nutritional.
I just cube and cook
