Soy beans and cross-contamination

My doctor suggested trying soy in its various forms as a way to increase my protein intake. I've found certified gluten free tofu and some other products that I will try beginning this week. I'm hoping it goes well, but I have noticed that the processed soy products (tofu, beverages, tempeh, etc) tend to be quite pricey.

I would like to try buying my own dried soy beans and eating them in a variety of ways. This seems to be the most effective way to do this. The problem here is that, from my understanding, there is a high risk of soy beans being cross-contaminated with wheat. (This is due to many farmers alternating wheat and soy crops in their land, and using the same equipment to harvest etc.)

I live in Canada and am having some difficulty tracking down soy beans that are certified gluten free. I suspect it is a bit easier in the US. Any advice/insight on soy beans and cross-contamination, or certified gluten-free brands that are available in Canada?

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thanks @Beverage for checking in!  I haven't changed the dogs' food yet.  I'm still working through some of the other issues that I need to remedy (transitioning to an anti-inflammatory diet, being sure to get only gluten-free certified items, and buying some new cookware for my kitchen).  Somewhere after that, I have on my list to try out the dogs on a new dog food, but I haven't gotten there yet.  In the meantime, though, I can definitely see that some of my worst days seem to follow when there's a possibility of gluten cross-contamination (I'm still working to cut waaay down on these instances) OR when I eat anything with dairy/ milk protein in it.  So I think I need to really get a better handle on my day-to-day eating habits to reduce all gluten cross-contamination into my food and also any dairy intake, and then at that point, I think I'll start moving over to the dog food thing.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      I don't think you have the URL/site address correct, as there is nothing at that site.

      Hello All I am traveling to Germany in October and will be in Berlin, Rothenburg ODT , Salzburg, Fussen and Munich.  I am also driving the northern part of the romantic road with stops in some of the smaller towns along the way.  I would really appreciate any recommendations for gluten-free friendly places, restaurants and any gluten-free beer gardens.  Thanks in advance, Laura
