Bakery for Milk Allergy Sufferers in Lebanon County
It’s called Incredible Edibles and according to the Lebanon Daily News it’s a new bakery that is ready to satisfy the sweet tooth of those with milk allergies.
Traditionally, bakery products often contain milk products which make baked goods off-limits for milk allergy sufferers. Jil Desso and Julie Georgelis, whose son - 7-year-old Nicholas Georgelis - is allergic to dairy products, started the home baking business near Palmyra, PA, in an effort to make sure that they didn’t have to say “no” to young Nicholas every time he went out and saw something sweet.
Using all-natural and organic ingredients, Julie Georgelis has been experimenting with different recipes and uses soy milk, soy shortening and soy butter. Soy-free or gluten-free good can be made on request.
“Making gluten-free items “is one of our biggest challenges,” Desso told the Lebanon News Daily, “because that involves changes in texture and taste.”
The bakery is state-licensed and looks to have a broad range of potential clients. Milk allergies affect children primarily according to Wikipedia and gluten allergies apparently affects adults.
Julie Georgelis will be happy when Nicholas turns 15 which she says is the age when children with milk allergies generally lose their allergic reactions to milk proteins.
