Pacific Brand Almond Milk Isn't Soy Free Or Is It?

I've seen on this website people recommending Pacific brand for almond milk because it is gluten, casein, and soy free, but I see SOY LECHITIN in the ingredients list. And it even says on the container, a good soy alternative?! Huh!

I am looking for a almond milk that is free of all of it! Any thoughts?

Many people who can't tolerate soy (including true soy allergies) can tolerate soy lechitin. That's probably why its listed like that.

Hopefully someone else will pop in with a suggestion.

What about their rice milk? It is gluten-free, sf, df. We get it all the time. I can't have nuts, so we use Hemp Milk or Rice Milk (make sure it's NOT Rice Dream brand.)

Yes I think I may just switch to rice milk altogether just to play it safe. Thanks for your help.

I drink it all the time and have no problem with it and i react to a little bit of soy. I never ever double checked the ingredients, im going to go do that now.

My recollection (but it's been a few months since I looked at labels) is that the newer, unsweetened Pacific almond milk has soy lecithin, but the original plain and vanilla flavors don't. Their hazelnut milk definitely doesn't have soy lecithin. (Gonna go make myself a latte with some right now!)

I use Blue Diamond Almond Milk. It comes in sweetened or unsweetened versions, & is very mild & smooth. I even make hot rice cereal in it, & it works just great!

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
