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.

      Hi,  My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
