Does anyone know if the Silk Soymilk is okay? Since I'm now off casein, too, I haven't had a latte all week :blink: Now I know why I was so addicted ... it wasn't the coffee ... it was the milk!

It sure is!

Silk is made by White Wave and all flavors of their soy milk (and cream which I love!) are gluten-free!

It might be gluten free but SOY is very bad for CELIAC's.

have you read dangerous grains?

I use Silk all the time. I've not reacted, and they do indicate gluten free on their labeling.

I haven't read Dangerous Grains, just got done with Dr. Greens Celaic book...will read that one next!

As usual, what's harmful to one might be healthy for another. Soy can be dangerous to some, healthy or even beneficial for others.

NOT what the Celiac brains (the docs and those in the know) are saying.... all the newly published autoimmune disease books all say stay-away from soy. 5 - 6 years ago I drank plenty of Silkmilk not knowing what I was doing to my body.

I only say this because I CARE. I wish there was information that addressed SOY & celiac disease back 6 years ago when celiac disease attacked my body. I know the disease wouldn't have been so rapid on its progression, if I had avoided soy. I didn't see, feel, or know what my body was telling me. I must admit I didn't know how to "READ" my body, at tthe time. Now I know different.

PLEASE Read Dangerous Grains (it is the most important thing you can do in your recovery) and you will get a better understanding of celiac disease and the secondary food allergies (we will all end up getting them. It just a matter of time.) It will change the way you think about living with celiac disease and the important steps to take.

Think twice before drinking SILKMILK :wub: -- Be well!

I use Silk too. This is the funny tag line on their cartons: "Silk Soymilk is free of lactose, dairy, cholesterol, gluten, eggs, casein, peanuts, MSG and worries. You still have to pay for it though."

When I first started the diet a year ago I was slightly lactose intolerant, so Silk was just a "in the meantime" drink till my small intestine was up and running again. Now that I'm no longer LI (that cleared up after about three months) I find I can't go back to cow's milk! It tastes so bland next to Silk. I use it for cereal, coffee, even in simple baking like muffins and pancakes.

(Obviously I don't buy into the "Dangerous Grains" et al stuff.)

well, if soy is bad for celiacs, i'm screwed! it's my main protein! :D

silk, yes, casein free. natura brand soymilk is nice, too (also casein free), and almond breeze (also casein free). those three are household staples.

Thank you for the suggestions. I think I may buy the almond milk for home and get the soymilk when I want a latte ... don't want to start having problems with soy. It's never bothered me before, but I don't want to have it too often and become intolerant.

The majority of celiacs do not have a problem with soy, although there are a few who do. Similarly, there are a few who react badly to corn. Some of us can't tolerate casein. Eggs cause problems for some. Name a food, and if you look you can find a celiac with an intolerance or allergy (mine's shellfish). But that does not mean that all celiacs have intolerances to all foods. :o

the other funny tag on the top is "Shake well and Buy Often"

my sister drinks it, that is why it is in our house. i don't have soy (ver allergic to it) but we always have t.

They also make several good "yogurt" flavors. I've had their Key Lime, Strawberry Banana, Black Cherry, and blueberry. They were all quite tasty

my mom loves their yogurt. we buy her the plain and she mixes in flax seeds and fruit.

if you never had problems with soy before, you probably won't now. don't let that worry you. i consumed a lot of soy before i found out i could not longer have casein, so the transition was easy. if you're having more soy than normal, your bod is going to have to get used to it... so you might get bloated and whatnot, but it'll even out.

I'm really allergic to soy, but if I drank it I would choose the Silk brand because they are organic and do a lot to help heal the Earth.

....that sounded a lot like a commercial, didn't it? Sorry. :blink:

actually, i've never seen a soymilk that isn't organic.

      Histamine intolerance and supplements

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  After months of suspecting everything being gluten contaminated, I think it’s histamine intolerance mimicking some glutening symptoms. The biggest thing that settled it was my daughter’s neurological reaction fermented foods and probiotics general. I’ve tried this twice within a gap of six months. I do recognize now in addition to that avocado, spinach, oranges, and tomatoes absolutely make things worse.  I see a lot of ppl here having tested their DAO levels via blood test, but I can’t seem to get an allergist to even recognize the condition, let alone to test for it. Additionally, I was wondering if there was any correlation between nutritional deficiency and histamine intolerance, and if any of you have seen reduction in histamine issues post supplementing.  Thank you.

      Typical Diagnosis Route

      By AdelaW · Posted

      About a month ago I had a blood panel done for digestive issues and tested weak positive for celiac. My tTG IgG was a 6 with the range being 0-5 negative, 6-9 weak positive and 9+ positive(I have an IgA deficiency so they measured with IgG). Afterwards my doctor requested I have an endoscopy with a biopsy done and received results with symptoms in my small intestine such as DUODENAL MUCOSA WITH MODERATE VILLOUS BLUNTING, MODERATE CRYPT HYPERPLASIA AND INCREASED INTRAEPITHELIAL LYMPHOCYTES (MODERATE MUCOSAL LESION, and a final note stating "The findings are consistent with celiac disease in the proper clinical setting. Correlation with serological studies is recommended". I got these results 3 days after testing before my doctor contacted me and cut out gluten seeing I likely have celiac and feel much much better. However, I just met with my doctor and they informed I must get another celiac blood test done to confirm my diagnosis because my original blood test is so weak, despite the fact that my endoscopy showed strong indication of celiac, therefore I must reintroduce gluten into my diet and start feeling horrible again. And I am curious on whether or not this is a typical diagnosis route and if I should consider reintroducing gluten again to ensure or just assume I have celiac. And will I still be able to get an official diagnosis without another positive blood test and reintroduction of gluten?

      Dr. Reddy’s Sandoz sumatriptan gluten-free?

      By elizabethhousworth · Posted

      Fascinating. No ingredient in Dr. Reddy's Sumatriptan SUCC 100 mg has gluten, or should have gluten. But the doctor said ask the pharmacist. The pharmacist said call the manufacturer. And the manufacturer said "it contains gluten."

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      This is much later than these posts, but on April 29, 2025, I called Dr. Reddy's Labs about Sumatriptan SUCC 100 mg tablets and were told that they DO contain gluten.
