Wht are other options for a toddler with what seems to be an allergy to milk and soy? What else can I give? He doesn’t get a bottle. I need something to be able to give him as a drink or with cereal or to make chocolate milk with. Is there a yogurt alternative? We tried the soy yogurt but that didn’t go over well either so that’s why I’m figuring the allergy is there too. I had an older child with the same thing around the same age and he outgrew it. But he didn’t have a problem with soy. This one is suffering so badly. He loves shoko and plain milk. Not to mention he is addicted to yogurt and will cry his eyes out for it. If t was up to him, he would only live off of yogurt.
So now what do I offer? Any ideas?

If the dairy allergy is lactose intolerance, try chewable lactase tablets. As for milk, that's easy. Try almond, rice, coconut, hazelnut, etc. milks.

There is lactose in soy? Isn’t it a protein allegory when kids are allergic to both? I maybe confusing it was th something else. I tried on him coconut and he wasn’t a fan. I’ll look to try the almond and hazelnut.
Can a toddler take those tablets? He’s only a year and a half.

No lactose in soy.
I took the tablets and drops as a toddler. Of course, that was forever ago. Just check the box in the pharmacy and see what ages it says.
I don't know a lot about allergies, but I'd assume you'd see a protein allergy in more than just dairy (or dairy-type) products. Soy is in a LOT of things, does he react to everything with soy? Has he been actually tested?

He hasn’t been tested. I see it seems to be based on amount he eats. He can drink a quarter cup of straight milk and be fine. But any more or any amount of yogurt or soy yogurt, effects him within 20 mins (pizza too). I don’t find it with any other products but off hand I can’t think of anything else that contains soy in it.

A lot of processed food has soy (chicken nuggets, hot dogs, etc). It's not just in the obvious places. Even Bissli has soy.

Vanilla coconut yogurt tastes better than soy. But be informed that it barely contains protein or calcium. It's a substitute for the taste, not for nutrition.

I would test him for allergies before giving almond milk unless you never noticed a reaction to tree nuts

I know about the coconut yogurt but I think that’s only in the states. I’ve never seen it in israel.
He’s not allergic to teee nuts because he’s had already.
Also a good point brought up - what can I do about the nutritional aspect? He doesnt take any vitamins, although I was doing probiotics for a while.

Almond milk is most similar in taste to regular milk
Btw- it’s not an allergy rather a food sensitivity ( it can be dangerous, even life threatening for an allergic person to eat food he’s allergic to)

Erm, how exactly do you know that? Someone with an allergy can have "non dangerous" reactions too. Although they can escalate and become dangerous suddenly.
