I can't take soy! My stomach reacts very poorly to soy (and to dairy and meats as well--fish is tolerable). Are there other substitues for dairy and meat I can try (I also keep Kosher--so shell fish is out). HELP!

Have you tried rice milk products? Can you tolerate chicken? Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are usually pretty safe. Although, I don't know if they're Kosher...sorry

Thanks so much for getting back to me! I will try rice milk products today and let you know how it goes! You can get Kosher chicken--that was a great help too! How do you prepare it--do you boil it/bake it? Any cooking suggestions? Thakns Mags2003!!!

Just make sure the rice milk products are low fat. Almost forgot that part!
Check out the recipe exchange. There's lots of great chicken recipes over there. But, basically you can bake it, boil it, grill it, etc. - all but fry. Pan fry with a non stick pan & cooking spray is okay. If you have any recipes of your own that you have questions on, just post & someone will be able to help! 
Good luck & have fun cooking! Let us know how you make out!

Ruchie - Welcome to the boards! I can't remember anyone keeping Kosher since my Mom used to talk about her life at home with her Mom and Dad. Boy, you sure deserve a medal for being able to do it.
I'm Jewish also and so is Zaftig1 (you can tell by her name). Are you fromm the East Coast or out of USA?
The suggestions about rice milk and chicken are good. There is also Almond Milk. Chicken is such a versatile meat. There's a recipe on the Recipe Exchange for Lemon Chicken that I'm going to try today for supper. I'll post and let everyone know how it turned out.
Again, welcome and if you find any "safe" Jewish/Kosher foods, let me and Zaftig1 know for sure.

Ruchie - you have to check the cartons. If you're near a Trader Joe's they carry almost all of the dairy milk alternatives. I just checked my pantry and I don't have any almond milk.

I am allergic to all soy and dairy products, so I rely on rice substitutes. Be careful with the rice cheeses and ice creams because they have milk protein in them which can cause a reaction in some people. I can handle rice milk without a problem, but the almond milk has a soy product in it. There are no rice meat substitutes out there that I know of, but I stick with chicken as my meat and I have found that I don't miss the other meat dishes. Good luck!

You can eat chicken with your allergy? My friend is allergic to soy and can not eat chicken because they feed them with soy. She mostly eats lean pork.

I just went out and bought rice milk (they didn't have almond milk at the store) so I'm going to try it later today and I'll let you know how it goes!
Thanks so much for all your help Sharon!!!
