Are You Dying For Milk But Can't Have Lactose Or Soy?

So now that I am both intollerant to soy and lactose I thought I would never be able to have "milk" in my tea or cereal again. Until I found almond milk. It was great, especially if you enjoy the taste of soy milk. The brand I bought is Pacific Natural Foods, Vanilla Almond Milk. Its low fat and cholesterol free too and we all know how great almonds are for you. So if you can eat nuts but can't have soy or lactose definitely try some of this. If you have a Trader Joes nearby that's where I found mine in the same isle as soy milk and rice milk (which i thought would be safe until it said very clearly on the label: contains gluten!!!)

What about lactose free cow's milk? Or are you casein intolerant as well?

You know, I never thought about that. Like the Lactaid milk right? I should try that too. Thanks!

I'm casein intolerant and don't use much milk ... so if I buy almond milk, it generally goes bad and I end up throwing some of it away. I use Vance's Dari-free -- it's powdered, soy, gluten, casein-free! Tastes good, too. Thanks for the suggestion.

I use pacific's almond milk too. the vanilla is good for cereal. the original is better for substituting in recipes. Also, there is a rice milk (not rice dream) that does not have gluten in it. It's made by "Nature's Promise," which is an organic/natural line of foods that Stop n Shop sells. Im not sure if it's "organic" or just "natural" but it's in the special/ethnic/international foods aisle at the supermarket. Anyway, it's pretty good, too. Oh, and the lactaid has a yucky aftertaste. I used to use it years ago and then i found soy milk...hope that helps.

I find that the lactaid milk tastes different, but if you really, really want to have cereal with milk then it would do the trick. I don't often, but when I do I usually just take Lactaid Ultra with it.

I really like Stop n Shop's Nature's Promise brand. I will have to check out their rice milk and thanks for the substition tip, I will definitly have to try that. I sure that aren't the most reliable brand for organi foods but some of their stuff is pretty good. I don't know if you like tuna but the Nature's Promise canned tuna in water is really good. I have been cautious about eating canned albacore tuna because of the mercury scare. the canned tuna made by Nature's Promise is actually yellow tail tuna which is supposed to better for you in terms of the mercury levels.

I'm also soy and dairy free, and I recently discovered Whole Food's 365 Vanilla Rice Milk, and it's gluten-free and very yummy, so there's another option if you have a Whole Foods near you.

      Patiently Waiting to See Results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By trents · Posted

      You state in an earlier post that you don't have celiac disease. Here in this post you state you will "be doing another test". What will this test be looking for? What kind of celiac disease testing have you had done? If you have used a Entero Labs it sounds like you have had stool testing done for celiac disease which is not widely accepted as a valid celiac disease diagnostic testing method. Have you had blood antibody testing for celiac disease done and do you realize that for antibody testing to be valid you must have been eating generous amounts of gluten for a period of weeks/months?

      By Gigi2025 · Posted

      No, I've not been diagnosed as celiac.  Despite Entero Labs being relocated to Switzerland/Greece, I'll be doing another test. After eating wheat products in Greece for 4 weeks, there wasn't any reaction.  However, avoiding it here in the states.   Thanks everyone for your responses.
