I found out today that some medication that I was taking had some "hidden dairy" in it. And, the bread I was eating also has dairy in it. UUGGH!!
I started getting crazy vigilant today when I fed my son about 4 hours after I had eaten, and he was SUPER fussy and just mad! Screaming his head off. I remembered I had a salad from Chick-Fil-A with chicken strips on it, no cheese and their balsamic dressing. This forced me to go to their website and make sure that their breaded chicken didn't have dairy in it. It does. So, now I am super frustrated and starting from square one again. And P.S., their bread is not dairy free either, so forget the chargrilled sandwich. Can I ever eat out safely again??
Go here and about 3/4 of the way down the page is a Hidden Dairy cheat sheet to print off and put on your fridge. Very helpful!!
Here is another list of supposed dairy free foods you can eat. This is one that I found through a friend, so definitely not from a doctor or anything like that. That's my only disclaimer. Use at your own risk!! It's in a word document, so I'm just copying and pasting...sorry it's LONG!!

...And the list goes on and on. If you cook, just substitute "safe" margarine for butter and "safe" milk for regular and voila!
The basic thing to remember is that you can have all fruits and veggies; most meat, poultry and fish preparations (obviously without cheese or cream sauces); not many sweet baked goods (muffins, cakes, etc.); some plain baked goods (bagels, wheat bread); few desserts (maybe some fruit-based). So concentrate on the fruits/veg. and you'll be fine.
Anything with a * has a "may contain traces of peanuts" warning.
Anything with a + in front of the item also does not contain soy.
And here’s a list of ingredients to AVOID while on a milk free diet:
