(orginal issue --> Open Original Shared Link

Okay well I was at the Kroger buying the lactose free milk to try and I was thristy, so I grabed a " Silk Alive Smoothie" And drank like a 13rd of it. tasted like flavored chalk... But I am gassy/etc just like I was the other day after drinking that milk+lactait pills+hersy's carmel syrup. :o

I tripple check the silk ingredinents.. nothing there supicius... unless SOY is my issue? I did not react to soy in the scratch tests. UGH why cant this be simple. :(

I didn't react to soy in the scratch test, either. But I can not tolerate soy. Makes me bloat, and gives me terrible cramping, gas and D. I can do soy oil and lecithan in relatively small amounts. I believe that's because the proteins are not in the oil. It's not unusual for us to become sensitive to other things once we're gluten-free for a while. Or, the additional intolerance becomes more evident once the gluten is out.

:( bummer

I'm intolerant to dairy, gluten and soy. For the longest time I insisted on drinking the occasional soy latte, but finally had to accept the fact that I just cannot do it.

It is my understanding that casein and soy protein can both cause gluten-like reactions due to their similarities in structure to gluten. You might drive yourself crazy trying to find some sort of test that will give you the answers.

It can't hurt to eliminate all three for atleast a little while and see if it makes a difference. Then reintroduce soy and dairy, one at a time, and you'll probably have your answer.

(sorry I know it's a pain - literally)

Sorry if you've mentioned this before, but how long have you been 100% gluten free? Maybe you just need more time to heal before you can tolerate certain foods. The enzymes that break down lactose, sucrose, and maltose and located in the villi and when the villi are damaged, lactose, sucrose, and maltose may not be broken down well if at all, causing problems. Silk would have a lot of sugar in it and obviously milk has lactose. Just something to consider.

Carrie,

I thought about that, but a recent endoscopy could not find any damage at all. So that should mean most of my little vila are okay. Does not mean no damage, of course, but even my iron levels are working back up so some signifigant healing must have been done.

The other thing is the villa are in the instestine, the reactions were imediate, so the milk/etc was still in the stomache.

This reaction is ALOT less then the cup of milk. I mean other a little pain and gass Im fine. Its litterly the only thing besides water I have had in hours though so it has to be the silk.

As for avioding soy for a while.. I almost never have soy to start with. I just plain do not like the taste of it. I do not realy look hard for it so I am sure some gets by occasionaly. I only tried the soy drink as to not contimate the milk test I wanted to try. heh so much for that plan!

I just dont know any more. I do have Alomnd Mlik and Rice Milk to use in my cearel at least. Almond taste better then soy, but little to nutty for me, hopeully the rice be better....

Since you did have an endoscopy and the villi appeared to be ok, I would guess that they are digesting lactose, sucrose, and maltose. You may have an intolerance or be allergic to soy. Have you considered getting an allergy blood test done? I had one allergy blood test about a month ago and it tested for about 30 different foods including soy, milk, wheat, eggs, nuts, ect.

I'm not sure if you can get these in the US, but they are soy, gluten, and dairy free.

You could make your own almond milk if you can tolerate nuts. There's a ton of recipes on the Internet just search for "nut milk recipe" and you should be able to find them. They're really easy to make too.

Scratch tests only tell part of the story. For reactions other than IgE, you need a blood test. What you are describing is indicative of an allergy, just not an anaphylactic one. Ask your doctor to do a blood test for allergies.

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I've not heard of any issues with Primal Kitchen, but it certainly would be worth not using the brand for a while to see if this helps. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful:

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you are super sensitive you may want to look for only Certified Gluten-Free Products, as @trents mentioned.

      Gluten free/ non dairy , low calorie pudding

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm not sure about low calorie, as puddings are typically a dessert, but we do have this category: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/gluten-free-dessert-recipes-pastries-cakes-cookies-etc/gluten-free-pudding-recipes/ This one might work if you cut back on the sugar:

      We are off next week on our 9th RCCL cruise since our diagnoses.  I send an email to special_needs@rccl.com before every cruise letting them know that I am both dairy and gluten free and my husband is gluten free.   Unfortunately, with the new menus they introduced in 2023, they removed the gluten-free designation from each item on the menu.  Instead of having a dedicated person take gluten-free orders, it now falls to your regular wait staff.  Some have been great and some not so good.  We had a great cruise in May and hit it off with our head waiter.  She went the extra mile and ordered gluten free desserts that were not on the menu.  My problem arises from other food allergies.  I am allergic to dairy, beef, and several types of fish.  On those days my husband is a happy camper with a steak or salmon, veggies and a baked potato.  I end up not getting enough protein, so I bring protein bars.  I also bring snacks for the room. As long as the food is commercially prepared and unopened, you can bring it. Often the only dessert choices that are gluten free contain dairy, so I am out of luck.  But, if you are just gluten free, they have plenty of choices.  See the head chef in the Windjammer buffet and he will give you a tour of the gluten-free choices.  They usually have 2 gluten free desserts out at lunch and they are labeled gluten free. We have found that it works best to have assigned dining rather than anytime.  That way the waiters learn from the get go what our needs are, and we don't have to explain ourselves every night.  We also get a private table for 2.  I frankly got sick and tired of tablemates telling me a little bit of gluten would not hurt me.

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      Hi Trents-Thanks for reading and sharing insight.  We need all the help we can get and it's super appreciated.  She is currently dairy, soy and oat free and those have mostly been completely excluded from her diet since the diagnosis (we tried going back on dairy and oats at different times for a bit, didn't see a significant difference but have now cut out again just to be extra safe since her issues are so persistent.  We did cut eggs out for about 3 months and didn't notice significant difference there, either.  The only one we haven't specifically cut out completely for any portion of time is corn, however, we've kept it minimal in all of our diets for a long time.  She definitely goes 3-4 weeks without any corn products at times and still has issues, but I'm guessing that's not long enough to confirm that it isn't causing issues.   We could definitely try to go longer just to double check.  Thanks again!
