I read on the Delphi list that Westsoy NF vanilla soymilk has barley in it but that the gluten proteins dont get through? Is it gluten-free or not? Anyone getting sick from it? I think i am but i wanted to be sure if it was that.

Plain non-fat soy milk is gluten-free. However, the vanilla flavor is made with barley (with the gluten proteins from barley eliminated.

(Hain Celestial Group) (1-800-434-4246) (vp=9/14/04)

Read the label.  All products manufactured by the Hain Celestial Group will clearly list any gluten-containing ingredients

Errr..... I would say its not gluten-free. I dunno of any way Barely could be gluten-free??

If you are looking into Soymilk, I assume you have a milk/casien/lactose issue. If so, check out Soy Delicous "Ice Cream" It is made from Soy, and is batch tested for many allergens, including gluten milk, and nut. Between all of us freaks in my family we cannot have milk, eggs, gluten(celiac), wheat(Allergy not celiac), Peanuts(deadly) and tree nuts. This is the only soy ice cream that my entire family can safely enjoy!!It is delicous too!!!! Open Original Shared Link

Thanks Michael- i actually am not technically lactose intolerant but i find soy milk must easier to digest so i generally drink it over regular milk. And ever since i learned about the problems w/ Westsoy i have been drinking Silk- u are so right! i love it, especially since it lists that it is gluten free on the box :) Thanks for your suggestions- it must be tough to find food for your whole family to eat!!

Have you tried the Silk yogurt? I was eating dannon and just found out its not gluten-free so i was thinking of trying the Silk brand, since i love their milk so much!

Soy is not the miracle food it's touted as being. There is a lot of evidence to suggest soy is harmful to a human body. Please look into it more closely. I used to have dozens of mainstream articles in my favorites that I could reference... I purged my favorites a month or so back and only have this one article left. It's a billion dollar a year industry that has the finances to push it's dangerous product. Do not consume soy.

      There is a 10 year old post in this forum on Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream. The information is somewhat outdated and the thread is closed to further comment, so here is a new one. Edy's And Dreyer's Grand Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - 1.5 Quart is labeled "Gluten Free". This is a different answer than years gone by. I don't know the answer for any other flavor at this moment. On 1 May, 2026, Edy's website says: "As a general rule, the gluten in Edy's and Dreyer's® frozen dessert products is present only in the added bakery products, such as cookies, cake or brownies. We always label the eight major food allergens on our package by their common name. We recommend to always check the label for the most current information before purchasing and/or consuming a product. The exception to this rule is our Slow Churned French Silk frozen dairy dessert, which contains gluten in the natural flavors." https://www.icecream.com/us/en/brands/edys-and-dreyers/faq It seems that Edy's and Dreyer's are more celiac-friendly than they were 10 years ago. Once I found enough information to make today's buying decision, I stopped researching.

      probably not your situation @Mimiof2, but allow me to add one more to @trents list of celiac-mimics: "olmesartan-induced sprue-like enteropathy"

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes and goes randomly as before again.
