Soy Milk

Help, I am having reactions to some soy milk and found out the Silk uses barley in their process. I also cannot tolerate any rice so my choices seem to be limited. Went to Eden website and they claim their unsweetened soy to be gluten-free. Can't find any answers on West Soy website, which is the brand my health food store carries.

Hi ljeanh.

I'm not sure on what brand of soy milk to suggest to you, we do not drink it. I have heard of many people reacting to soy products in general, not just the milk. I'm sure there are some who have their favorites and hopefully they will respond.

We personally like almond milk. I buy the unsweetened unflavored one so I can cook with it too. Vanilla mashed potatoes are not good. :P

I also choose either almond or hemp milk. No soy for me.

Where did you read that Silk uses barley? They've made it pretty clear that they don't use any gluten ingredients in either their products or their plants.

There are a lot of threads in the forum about Silk Soy milks like this one:

Personally, I avoid soy because I don't like what it can do to a person's body

I am not sure where you got the information that Silk soy milk uses barley in their processing of the product but that is incorrect. They do not. In fact, none of the ingredients in their products contain anything of concern for a Celiac, plus, they are going to start testing for gluten in the near future. I am not sure why as they use nothing in their processes which contain gluten but it's a good step to make completely sure there isn't.

I am also an extremely sensitive Celiac, with no sensitivity to soy products, and if there were any amount of gluten in their product, I would react. In fact, I drink soy milk everyday so I would be in the hospital by now if that were true.

I was thinking about this and I'm wondering if you're confusing Silk with Rice Dream rice milk which bills itself as gluten-free but uses barley in the process.

I have spoken to customer service representatives of Silk a few times now and they have assured me each time that there is no gluten in any of their products, processing, or on their equipment. They don't deal with any gluten products at all. :)

I believe you are probably thinking of Rice Dream Rice Milk, as Shopgirl mentioned.

You may wish to try So Delicious Coconut Milk Beverages. They're the only dairy-free "milk" I use, and they're really good. They also make coconut milk yogurt and coconut milk kefir. Both contain prebiotics and probiotics, which are very important for our digestive health.

      My only proof

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      Gluten related ??

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/
