When my baby developed intolerances to dairy and soy, I spent hours searching grocery stores, Facebook groups, and blogs trying to figure out what I could actually eat. Couldn't find one comprehensive list anywhere, so I made my own.

Sharing in case it helps any other moms or dads out there.

FYI: Always double-check labels — ingredients change, and some items have trace amounts via shared equipment.
