    I have read that but I have never actually found the one that is soy free and dairy free. My stores carry the other ones. For baking I mostly use coconut oil or palm oil shortening now. If I want toast I spread with peanut butter, apple butter or jam.

    That is my thought as well. Just eat well washed and cooked veggies and it shouldn't be a problem. The latest news says beansprouts are suspected: Open Original Shared Link

    That BLA sounds yummy! I will have to try it sometime (with turkey bacon since I'm allergic to pork ). I have never been a big fan of mayo anyway. I love avocados! I was getting Smart Balance mayo to experiment with making dairy free/soy free creamy dressings but recently I noticed Smart Balalnce has changed their ingredients to include soy. It used...

    Anyone have a good one? I used to make one with cream of chicken soup, well obviously that is out of the question. I have made several good varieties of shepherd's pie but I would really like a good pot pie crust and filling recipe that is free of gluten, milk and soy.

    I think you either need a second opinion from a different dr or you should just try the diet. What kind of dr says you just need to "live with" diarhea?!?! Not a very good one.

    They are somewhat dry but not that bad. They are the only gluten-free buns I have ever seen in my stores however. I see them as a step up from using either gluten-free bread (which my ketchup and pickles soak through and don't really work) or using rice cakes. I keep hoping to find the new Udi's buns but I have not seen them yet. Actually, I prefer to...

    I was wondering about that! Gotta wonder what's in the stuff. Anyway, thank you everyone for the words of advice and encouragement. We haven't found just the right house yet but when we do at least I know I can do SOME things safely like painting.

    Thank you! One of my stores carries Schar hamburger buns so I bet they could get the crackers if I asked.

    Peter may know more about this, but my understanding is that the laws were made to protect people with severe food allergies. Those people may not react with anaphylactic reactions to highly refined oils because the proteins are supposedly filtered out in the refining process. Despite the technical absence of protein, it's unsettlign IMO that they would...

    Thank you Peter. That's what I would be concerned about. I know that in the past I have bought tuna that had "vegetable broth" listed and the broth had soybean oil but did not say soy on the package. I had a reaction to that little bit of "highly refined oil" so I am very leary of undisclosed vegetable ingredients.

    nutsonline.com offers many varieties of gluten-free nuts and other products like dried fruit. Here is what they say on their website about how they make sure their nuts are gluten-free: 1.We analyzed our ingredient lists, vetted our suppliers, and got facility certificates ensuring non-contamination, whether it be an ingredient or a production aid. ...

    Okay so I found the ingredients of their crackers on their website: Maize starch, tapioca starch, lupin proteins, vegetable oil, glucose syrup, sugar, carob seed flour, salt, leavening agents (E503,E450, E500), thickener: pectin, emulsifier:E472e. Interesting.....The first thing that hit me is that I have never heard of lupin. Searching for it brought...

    Thanks Irish I will check them out!

    I did not know that, thanks for clarifying. I just knew my job had to allow me time off when I first started to get sick and had allow me to return without penalty. I did work for a large company, but I was part time. I still say Coolclimates should consider taking time off since she has said it is a gluten landmine there and her antibodies are still high...

    Yum! I have not seen their cookies in my area but I eat their choco-boom bars (along with the other bars) and use the chocolate chips in baking. It's one of the few things I can share with my nut and egg allergic niece.

    Yet they did a colonscopy? That doesn't make sense. I think your dr really doesn't know about celiac disease. Once you get a copy of the test results you might consider taking them to another dr that would be willing to do an endoscopy. Another dr that knows more might even diagnose you based on the blood test and a positive response to the diet, depending...

    I have yet to find a gluten-free cracker that is also free of soy, dairy and my other allergens (I tried some Asian rice crackers that were seasoned with something made from mushrooms and they made me break out in hives). If anyone knows of a gluten free, dairy free, soy free cracker let me know. I can't think of the name of the mushroom flavoring ingredient...

    Yep. I used to cheat on my soy free diet with chocolate but I can't do that anymore since I became allergic to milk. I have since found Enjoy Life chocolate chips which don't have any soy or any milk. There are also some safe brownie mixes and brownie recipes. Betty Crocker Chocolate cake mixe has soy however and many, many other gluten-free processed...

    Welcome! First, get a copy of the blood tests so you can find out exactly which ones they did and what they said. If you post them here some knowledgable people can help you interpret. Some drs do not interpret the results correctly becuase they are not very familiar with celiac disease. Second, if the first blood tests were indicative of celiac then...

    But her kitchen is not gluten-free, is it? Would she be stirring the cupcake batter with a wooden spoon used hundreds of times before on regular wheat flour baked goods? Would she be using her mixer which may have bits of batter/flour up in the mechanism that will rattle loose as she mixes the gluten-free mix up? Will she use plastic mixing bowls that...

    Your job could very well be keeping your antibodies high. I know it may be hard to do financially but perhaps you could take a month off from work and get your antibodies retested at the end of the month to see if there is a difference? By law your boss would have to let you have sick time and still return to your job (under FMLA). No part time job is worth...

    I gave up soy because I read that it could be connected to thyroid conditions and hypothyroidism runs in my family. My thyroid right now is borderline for hypo. Once I gave it up, I tried it again a few months later in different forms to test if I had any reaction. My main symptom from soy is fatigue so I am convinced it affects my thyroid. Also if I...
