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!

Terri

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:

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.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      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.

      Oral thrush question

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thank you @JulieRe so much for sharing this extra information. I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better and I hope it keeps moving in that direction. I feel I'm having so many lightbulb moments on this forum just interacting with others who have this condition. I also was diagnosed with gastric reflux maybe about 10 years ago. I was prescribed ranitidine for it several years back, which was working to reduce my gastric reflux symptoms but then the FDA took ranitidine off the shelves so I stopped taking it. I had a lot of ups and downs healthwise in and around that time (I suddenly gained 20 pounds, blood pressure went up, depression got worse, and I was diagnosed with OSA). At the time I attributed my change in symptoms to me taking on a new stressful job and didn't think much else about it. They did give me a replacement gastric reflux drug since ranitidine was off the shelves, but when I went on the CPAP for my OSA, the CPAP seemed to correct the gastric reflux problem so I haven't been on any gastric reflux drug treatment for years although I still do have to use a CPAP for my OSA. Anyway that's a long story but just to say… I always feel like I've had a sensitive stomach and had migraines my whole life (which I'm now attributing to having celiac and not knowing it) but I feel my health took a turn for much worse around 2019-2020 (and this decline started before I caught covid for the first time). So I am now wondering based on what you said, if that ranitidine i took could have contributed to the yeast overgrowth, and that the problem has just been worsening ever since. I have distinctly felt that I am dealing with something more than just stress and battling a more fundamental disease process here. I've basically been in and out of different doctor specialties for the past 5 years trying to figure out what's wrong with me. Finally being diagnosed with celiac one year ago, I thought I finally had THE answer but now as I'm still sick, I think it's one of a few answers and that maybe yeast overgrowth is another answer. For me as well, my vitamin deficiencies have persisted even after I went gluten-free (and my TTG antibody levels came down to measurably below the detectable limit on my last blood test). So this issue of not absorbing vitamins well is also something our cases have in common. I'm now working with a nutritionist and taking lots of vitamins and supplements to try and remedy that issue. I hope that you continue to see improvements in working with your naturopath on this. Keep us posted!

      I think I am gluten intolerant

      By ElenaM · Posted

      Hello everyone. I am Elena and am 38 years old. I suspect I have a gluten intolerance even if my celiac panel is ok. I have the following symptoms : facial flushing, Red dots not bumps în face, bloating abdominal distension, hair loss, depression anxiety even with meds and even bipolar. Fatigue extreme to the point of not being able to work. All of these after I eat gluten. Could I have non celiac gluten sensitivity? Thanks anyone else with these symptoms?

      Oral thrush question

      By JulieRe · Posted

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.
