Rice milk can work as milk substitute but keep in mind it is dense in nutrients and you are better off buying a fortified brand. My son is on Soy and Rice milk but we only buy the fortified for the vitamins that are missing. Rice milk is very thin and some kids dislike the watery texture.
Good luck!

Hi,
You should plan a diet schedule in consultation with a nutrition specialist and pediatrician.
It would not be advisable to start any diets without medical advice.
Let us know about what the doctor advises and post us about how your son is doing.
Regards.
Thank you for your help. Unfortunately, he also is allergic to peanuts, wheat, oats, eggs, walnuts-everything he was tested for. Im thinking of placing him on a gluten free diet.

Hello Allison
Thats really sad ! More so because your son loves milk.
You are right, rice milk is available and is supposed to be low on allergens. Your pharmacist can help you get a brand. But before starting anything I would suggest you consult his pediatrician. Even your pediatrician can help you out.
There are other alternatives too like almond milk, barley milk, peanut milk, etc. Of all milks rice milk is lowest on allergens.
Ask your Pharmacist and pediatrician for locally available brands.
Best
