Are You Dying For Milk But Can't Have Lactose Or Soy?

So now that I am both intollerant to soy and lactose I thought I would never be able to have "milk" in my tea or cereal again. Until I found almond milk. It was great, especially if you enjoy the taste of soy milk. The brand I bought is Pacific Natural Foods, Vanilla Almond Milk. Its low fat and cholesterol free too and we all know how great almonds are for you. So if you can eat nuts but can't have soy or lactose definitely try some of this. If you have a Trader Joes nearby that's where I found mine in the same isle as soy milk and rice milk (which i thought would be safe until it said very clearly on the label: contains gluten!!!)

What about lactose free cow's milk? Or are you casein intolerant as well?

You know, I never thought about that. Like the Lactaid milk right? I should try that too. Thanks!

I'm casein intolerant and don't use much milk ... so if I buy almond milk, it generally goes bad and I end up throwing some of it away. I use Vance's Dari-free -- it's powdered, soy, gluten, casein-free! Tastes good, too. Thanks for the suggestion.

I use pacific's almond milk too. the vanilla is good for cereal. the original is better for substituting in recipes. Also, there is a rice milk (not rice dream) that does not have gluten in it. It's made by "Nature's Promise," which is an organic/natural line of foods that Stop n Shop sells. Im not sure if it's "organic" or just "natural" but it's in the special/ethnic/international foods aisle at the supermarket. Anyway, it's pretty good, too. Oh, and the lactaid has a yucky aftertaste. I used to use it years ago and then i found soy milk...hope that helps.

I find that the lactaid milk tastes different, but if you really, really want to have cereal with milk then it would do the trick. I don't often, but when I do I usually just take Lactaid Ultra with it.

I really like Stop n Shop's Nature's Promise brand. I will have to check out their rice milk and thanks for the substition tip, I will definitly have to try that. I sure that aren't the most reliable brand for organi foods but some of their stuff is pretty good. I don't know if you like tuna but the Nature's Promise canned tuna in water is really good. I have been cautious about eating canned albacore tuna because of the mercury scare. the canned tuna made by Nature's Promise is actually yellow tail tuna which is supposed to better for you in terms of the mercury levels.

I'm also soy and dairy free, and I recently discovered Whole Food's 365 Vanilla Rice Milk, and it's gluten-free and very yummy, so there's another option if you have a Whole Foods near you.

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm not a gastro doctor, but it seems reasonable to conclude that they would be able to spot any cancer-related issues during the endoscopy, at least in the areas that were checked.

      Sorry cut out. Scott! Thanks You are really the master of this things! Thanks! One more question please, i did 2 EGD. In first EGD there was taken 2 samples from duodenum where they found MARSH 3b. In second EGD after 1year (i described in first post of this topic) they have taken multiple Samples from duodenum and jejunum and everything is ok (other than some of the samples is not readable but the explanation is very small and short, villi form good samples is OK and  they only found inflammation in lamina propria. Sorry, I am little overwhelm by this and scared so dr.google almost every-time frightens me. Would my GI and histology expert doctor see if there were like something serious like small bowel cancer or neoplasms(especially in histology)?

      It's quite common for the mucosa to appear normal during an endoscopy in patients with celiac disease, especially in cases of Marsh 3a or 3b histological changes. Studies have shown that the "naked eye" assessment of the small intestine during endoscopy often misses the subtle changes associated with early or less severe villous atrophy. This is why multiple biopsies from different parts of the duodenum, including the bulb, are essential for a reliable diagnosis. Visual clues like scalloping, nodularity, or atrophy may not always be visible, particularly in patients with less advanced disease. In fact, research indicates that histology can reveal significant findings even when the mucosa looks normal on endoscopy, reinforcing the need for biopsy as the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease. For anyone preparing to have an endoscopy, it's important to ensure that your gastroenterologist takes multiple biopsies from various areas to increase the likelihood of an accurate diagnosis.

      Thanks Scott! One more question how many of celiac had normal mucosa on naked eye (i mean endoscopy) but histology was postive like marsh 3 a or b?
