hard to find food items

my daughter has allergies to milk, eggs, soy, all nuts, oats, lactose and cassein. I was wondering if anyone out there knew of any type of butter and or shortening I could use for baking and general cooking? I found an egg replacer called “energ egg replacer”. I haven’t tried it yet because I’m having a local Whole Foods order it for me but its seems basically allergy free for my childs type of allergies. But butter and shortening I cannot find anything!! Please help if you can. Thanks.

My DD is allergic to Milk, Eggs and Peanuts/Tree Nuts too.
If your DD can have soy oil/lecithin you can try Fleischmann’s Light margarine in the tubs with the blue lids and Fleischmann’s Unsalted Sticks (for baking). Other Fleischmann’s margarine products have dairy in them. Depending on the area you live in, you may have trouble finding them but they are out there!
We don’t need to avoid soy, so if you need to avoid the oil too I am not sure what other options are out there for you.

Spectrum Palm Shortening is a direct sub for Crisco. You can use this in place of butter/margarine for baked goods, except for “fruit” crisp topping. (you need butter/margarine for a good flavor)

I have heard wonderful things about EnerG egg replacer but do not use it myself. Many food allergic people use this without reactions.

Let us know if you need anymore help!

thank you but my daughter can’t tolerate any soy at all, and i will definitely look into that spectrum palm shortening.

Just checked on another food allergy website I am a part of. Most if not all Kosher-for-Passover margarine is dairy and soy free. It is usually cottonseed based. Mother’s is the only brand I know of and you can only get it during Passover. Something to look for and stock up on in the spring. I have read that the sticks freeze well and many people buy cases to freeze to use through out the year.

I did find a recipe for soy free margarine in the recipe section on this site. I’m going to give it a try.
