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.

I drink So Good soy milk, and its definitely gluten-free.

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.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
