Eating disorders

Aly has pretty bad allergies so her doctor had her tested for food allergies. It came back that she was allergic to milk and peanuts. She is not just lactose intolerant like we had thought, but instead is actually allergic to milk. So this means she can't have any diary products at all. Can we say, yuck?! It is SOOO difficult to feed her now that she is eating table food. There is diary in almost everything we eat! So tonight, while the rest of us had meatloaf, peas, and YUMMY garlic mashed potatoes...



(forgot to take a pic before, so I only got an after of Jackson's plate)

My poor baby girl had to resort to eating:

I know it's all natural, but I still feel bad that while the rest of us are eating home cooked foods (probably not as healthy though!) she is eating a boxed dinner. Between Jacks and Aly's food issues, I must have the only set of siblings this young with eating disorders....Does anybody else have to be a short order cook to family members with food allergies??? Any suggestions?
