Wow! That's a tall order. Does dairy include eggs or just milk products? Dairy products are used so widely in foods that I can only think how difficult it is to avoid them in foods.

I once worked at a place that had a lot of vegan staff and had several vegan dishes with them. Most of the foods were okay, but the pasta sorta fell apart. The noodles would look good when they first arrived, but as they were scooped out became shorter and shorter until they were about 1 inch long. I came to the conclusion that egg is needed to bind the flour together and keep the noodles in one piece.

Vegans usually substitute tofu for the protein, and that's out too. Is it unusual to be allergic to both daiy and soy? I ask because I think soy milk is used by vegetarians to replace cow milk.

I'll keep my eye out for sources of dairy free recipes for you.
