B,
Slowly? Light mayo has more sweetener, so maybe that’s what you’re missing there. If you can take baby steps, go with full fat yogurt and sour cream and stuff like that first, and leave milk for last. Katie

Katie – Thank you so much for your amazing blog! I just found it yesterday and I’m already forwarding posts to my family.

B – I just read Katie’s response to a reader on another post who disliked the taste of whole milk after years on skim:

“Perhaps start with cooking with whole milk, whole milk yogurt (divine!) and other ways where you don’t have to drink it. I totally get that the creaminess/thickness is a mental hurdle to get over after years with skim; I was the same way. All I can say is that now I just love the creaminess and wouldn’t go back – so take baby steps! Katie”

I personally can’t imagine wanting to drink a big glass of milk…but I know when I’ve had to put whole milk on my cereal in the past, I added water. When I was growing up my mom transitioned us to skim milk by gradually working down from 2% to 1% then to skim…maybe you can do the same in reverse? – Jessica

how do you convert back to whole milk though? after drinking 2% for years after my parents switched to it, if I drink whole milk it tastes “off” (Same way with non-light mayo) – its one thing if I’m baking or cooking with it – but just to drink?

Avivah,
Thanks for adding the nuts – I didn’t think about that one but am eating a lot of nuts this month! Katie

Kate,
I would just cry if I had a nursing babe who was dairy sensitive – you are a saint for giving it all up!

I’m a big fan of the ol’ coconut oil (http://www.kitchenstewardship.com/2009/11/02/food-for-thought-whats-the-deal-with-coconut-oil/) as a great alternative, and some people can use ghee (http://www.kitchenstewardship.com/2009/11/06/how-to-make-ghee-clarified-butter/) for toast and sauteeing even with a dairy allergy.

Homemade mayo with olive oil can make some nice, creamy things that might make you think of dairy consistency!

Definitely check out the fat full fall series (http://www.kitchenstewardship.com/2009/09/22/a-fat-full-full-introduction) if you missed it!

re: low-temp past cream. That’s a great option if you can’t get raw milk – personally, I think the grassfed and organic parts of my farm milk are MUCH more important then the “raw” part, but that’s just my opinion.
I hope your son grows out of the sensitivity! Katie
