Glutened By Soymilk!

So I am eating a bowl of cereal dry rightnow. Why you might ask? Because yesterday I learned that rice dream has barley in it. So I learned my lesson and looked at my box of soymilk this morning before pouring it in my cereal, and sure enough, malted barley. I'm frustrated! Thanks for the vent. Anyone have brands that they recommend of any kind of milk I can use in cereal and cooking? I am lactose intolerant as well.

Thank you!

I drink Silk soy milk like it's going out of style and I've never had a problem with it. This is from the Silk website:

What is a dairy allergy? Can I use Silk products if I am allergic to dairy?

Many people are allergic to milk (usually cow's milk) or milk products. Dairy allergies are different from lactose intolerance. A dairy allergy is an extreme sensitivity to the proteins in dairy products, while lactose intolerance is caused by a lack of lactase enzyme, which helps the body digest dairy products. Dairy allergies can range from mild indigestion to anaphylaxis, which is life threatening.

All Silk products are dairy free, lactose-free and casein-free. None of our ingredients come from animal products, by-products or derivatives.

For more information on food allergies, visit the following websites:

The Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network

Lactose.CO.UK

SoyNutrition.com

Are Silk products okay for people with wheat and gluten allergies?

Much like those folks with dairy allergies, there are people who have a hypersensitivity to wheat or wheat products

Silk is what Hubby and I both drink. It's more nutritious than regular cow's milk and tastes as good (or better). I'm not dairy intolerent, I just like it better. The chocolate tastes great but most of the time we just buy the plain. I can make chocolate milk if I want it.

And yes, the carton says it's gluten free.

My son drinks West Soy Rice Milk. It is rice milk, just made by the West Soy company. He likes it a lot and we can barely keep up with buying it he drinks so much. If we can't get that brand we buy the Whole Foods brand.

I drink 8th Continent Light Original soymilk - have for years and really like it. It's much lower in calories and fat than silk, even silk light, and I love the taste. Sadly, it has xanthan gum in it (from corn) but somehow it doesn't bother me so I keep drinking it. I guess if I start having unexplained problems, I'll have to switch. But until then...

Is anyone going to point out that Rice Dream isn't soymilk?

Anyway - gotta read those labels.

I used to drink Silk, but it really has a lot of extra ingredients. As part of an elimination trial I went to the unsweetened varieties - with only 2 ingred, water & soybeans.

Have since moved up to tolerate 3 ingred types, where 'brown rice syrup' is added as a sweetener, tho I use more of the unsweetened than any other.

Trader Joe's house brand costs only $1.29 per carton, much less than any other. They have Regular/Original, Unswt, Choc, Vanilla, ... maybe more.

Thanks, that should get me started on my way. I think my hubbie picked up Soydream for me, but looks like Silk is a good one to try! Just to clarify, I've been glutened by both ricemilk AND soymilk this week, but read the label of the soymilk this morning and decided to find a different brand based on the malted barley in it. So yea, I know, read the labels. Hopefully I can stop the rookie mistakes soon! :unsure:

:lol: She said she decided to check the ingredients in her soy milk after learning Rice Dream contained barley. Makes sense to me...

Anyway, I wanted to recommend hemp milk. Living Harvest Vanilla hemp milk is good on cereal. It's much thicker and creamier than rice, soy and almond milks.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I take both Benfotiamine and TTFD. You might want to start with the Benfotiamine for a few days and then add in the TTFD. You can look for NeuroMag (Magnesium Threonate). A magnesium glycinate is fine, too. Doctor's Best is a good brand. Don't take more than 300mg total per day of magnesium or it may have a laxative effect. Be sure...

      Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine has 100MG of Ben and 25 of Thia..... Do you think this is the one I should take or Objective Nutrients Thiamax (TTFD) which has 100MG Thiamine. How much magnesium should I look for? I take the womens 50+ multivitamin since consumerlabs stated and tested that it has the right amount of vitamins and not too much for...

      Glutened

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar. 2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo. .horrendous stomach pains, My hair was wet fro...

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax. Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day. Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep. The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I looked further into Thiamax Vitamin B1 by objective nutrients and read all the great reviews. I think I will give this a try. I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state...

How much magnesium should I look for? I take the womens 50+ multivitamin since consumerlabs stated and tested that it has the right amount of vitamins and not too much for men and doesn't have BHT which has shown to cause liver cancer in animals. I was never big with multivitamins as well as doctors I just read when I was first going gluten free to take a multi but I think I will stop them and work on trying the super B Thia and Ben, Mag.

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar.   2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo.  .horrendous stomach pains,  My hair was wet from sweat every part of my body was wet. What an awful experience, just had a bad headache today  fortunately.    Is their any products/pills anyone takes if they have realised they have just been glutened to make the symptoms a little less worse.  thanks

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day.  Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep.   The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride, another form of thiamine the body likes.  The Thiamine HCl just helps the Benfotiamine work better.   Read the label for how many milligrams are in them.  The Mega Benfotiamine is 250 mgs.  Another Benfothiamine has 100 mgs.  You might want to start with the 100 mg.    I like to take Thiamax in the morning with a B Complex at breakfast.  I take the Benfotiamine with another meal.  You can take your multivitamin with Benfotiamine at lunch.   Add a magnesium supplement, too.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make some important enzymes.  Life Extension makes Neuro-Mag, Magnesium Threonate, which is really beneficial.  (Don't take Magnesium Oxide.  It's not absorbed well, instead it pulls water into the digestive tract and is used to relieve constipation.)  I'm not a big fan of multivitamins because they don't always dissolve well in our intestines, and give people a false sense of security.  (There's videos on how to test how well your multivitamin dissolves.).  Multivitamins don't prevent deficiencies and aren't strong enough to correct deficiencies.   I'm happy you are trying Thiamax and Benfotiamine!  Keep us posted on your progress!  I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.

I will do further research but I appreciate the wonderful explanation you provided on Thiamine.
