I'm Giving Up Soy!

So, last week I had two pain free days!!! It was amazing to finally feel human! I stopped to think WHAT did I do differently??! All I could come up with is I didn't use my lip balm (Burts Bees) and a different eye pencil those days. My food had not changed. I stopped using both and I've had some good days. The balm has soy in it and some products I was eating (not often) included soy. I stopped all soy and my bloating is better everyday. The bloat got better after giving up corn, but not totally gone.

I'm kinda sad to see this go as well, but I am so happy to be free of pain! I have been in some type of pain everyday for 18 months, I feel like I have finally figured it all out!...for now ;)

Ladies that are soy free, any suggestions on replacing my lip balm and glosses. My new pretty pink lipgloss has vitamin E derived from soy. Thanks!

Check out Gluten Free Savonnerie's stuff. I got their shampoo, conditioner, hand soap, bar soap, lotion and lip balm. It's corn free, soy free, gluten free, dairy free.....among others. I will warn you that the lip balm is very bland and I don't quite care for the "taste" but I prefer it to being sick!

Welcome to the soy free club. Really, it's for the best. Soy is baaaaaad for you. :) And in my opinion way easier to cut out than corn. >rolls eyes<

By the way, mayonnaise is way easy to make with a blender (I couldn't find a mayo without soy in it) and I honestly can't think of anything else that I "miss" that has soy.

Yeah I soon realised my favourite lip balm from MAC has soy and traces of gluten in it and it was making me so ill! Within hours, I thought it was kinda a myth about make up and stuff but obviously not!

Yeah, if gluten is the root of all evil, soy is pretty hot on its heels!!!

Are you okay? This sounds like an allergic reaction. Have you taken any Benedryl or called the doctor??? Let us know what happens.

There is stock and stock cubes out there that are gluten and soy free. Pacific Brands is one brand. Or you can make your own and freeze it (you can make it strong and put it in the ice cube tray) :D

      I know it's after the holidays, but it would still be fun to do a cookie recipe exchange on this forum.

      No red meat

      I did talk to the nurse and she asked who told me no red meat. I explained the person who called with the results of my blood work. That was last week. She told me the doctor was on vacation and would be back this week and she would talk to him and have someone call me this week. I have not received a call yet. I will call them back Monday as a reminder...

      I shop a fair bit with Azure Standard.

      gluten free cookie recipes

      Peanut Butter cookies - on the crisp side.   approx 20 smallish cookies  1 C  plus 2 tblsp rounded. 'natural' peanut butter ( the kind you have to stir to blend the PB & oils)....  I know, it's a pain!! 1/2 c granulated sugar ....plus 2 tblsp dark brown sugar 1/4 c olive oil... plus 1 tblsp 1 large egg .....and 1 tsp vanilla 2 tsp cinnamon - optional but is yummy with the PB mix the above.  In another bowl mix the following dry ingredients: 1 cup brown rice flour  ( I use this  flour as it leaves no yucky after taste in my cookies & lb cakes..... and coffee cake, I buy it at the "Bulk Barn" here in Canada....... states side try health food stores??? I'm not sure where you can buy bulk food that also carries gluten free flours. 1/2 tsp baking soda.....1/4 tsp salt   (I use the pink sea salt) Mix well or sift, then mix with wet ingredients. heat oven to 350f, line baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll about 2 tblsp dough between your hands, place on cookie sheet and press down  with a fork.   The flatter the cookie the crispier it is.     Bake 13-14 min  When done leave on baking sheet till cool. Cheers, Florence

I buy some foods on your list from Rani. I've been happy with their products. https://ranibrand.com/ Azure and Rani often use terms that skirt around explicit "gluten free". I've contacted both of them and gained some comfort but it's always hard to be certain. FWIW, my IgA antibody levels are very low now, (after including their foods in my diet) so it appears I am being successful at avoiding gluten.
