Sunbeam, I am the same with dairy and with soy and tofu - I've been having rice milk with chickpea as added protein and sometimes oat milk just to break things up. I eat a small amount of tofu but not much - maybe every two weeks or so. Eggs are great, thank god I'm not allergic to them. Every time I have dairy I get my rash back (all over stomach and back). Feel so much better not having it now and don't really miss it. I was a vego for 12 years and a vegan for 5 of them in my teens/twenties so it was OK. Having said that, I'm eating a lot of meat (mostly chicken and fish) so just a bit worried for you on how you'll go. I do agree that it would be good to get some help from a dietitian if you can. There is a great cookbook a friend loaned to me at the beginning of all this that would be perfect for you - it even has shopping lists and six weeks of recipes including breakfast, lunch and dinner. I'll find out the name and PM you.

Damprye, happy birthday for tomorrow x
