I'm researching soy-free(and all nut free)for my kiddo but I'm CF and am having a hard time figuring out how to do both unless I make separate stuff for us. What do you make/use to make for baking? I know Enjoylife choc. chips and Spectrum shortening are CF and SF but Earthbalance is a no-no. I already make plenty of fruit based snacks so would like other types of stuff. I know Namaste mixes are CF SF.

I don't suppose there is any soy-free soy sauce? :blink:

Tagging along on your topic here, I hope you don't mind, missy'smom.

I am interested in gluten-free and soy-free protein bar-type snacks to take in the car when we are in the U.S. I hear people talking about Lara bars all the time but would guess they probably have soy, as most do. Do any of you soy-intolerant-also folks have any recommendations for me? Something I could substitute for eating out?

Thanks for any help.

Lara Bars are gluten free and soy free! Some flavors taste better than others though.. you have to experiment with them all.

I am dairy and soy free and we don't have a problem in our house. My husband has no food issues whatsoever and loves the way we make our food. I cook everything gluten, dairy and soy free and we add stuff to his food once it's plated. So if we have pasta he'll add parmesean or if it's stir fry he'll add soy sauce. All of the condiments (soy sauce, ketchup, dressings, hot sauce, etc.) in the house are gluten-free so I don't have to worry about gluten CC when he uses them. Many of them have soy though so they are off limits for me.

BTW, I use a similar soy sauce substitute. Also, I use olive oil and Mother's margarine ( the gluten, dairy, soy and corn free one you can get only for passover). I believe there is a brand of Fleishman's margarine that is gluten-free, DF, SF that you can buy all year. For mixes and such, I recommend Namaste, Enjoy Life, and Cause you're Special.

I don't do nuts either so Lara Bars are off limits for me.

      Enegy level extremely low

      By Sicilygirl · Posted

      My iron is good I had it checked 3 times prior to being diagnosed with Celiac. My energy is better at night which is weird. I need it more during the day to function. This  has been hard to deal with emotionally, mentaly and pysically. Thank God that this website exists. Its helped me considerably since the doctor was of no help. Every body is different and I know that it will take me longer to heal I just have to stay positive and wait.  Also are you hungry ever?

      How to navigate living with dermatitis herpetiformis

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      We've got plenty Tiernan's over here across the Irish Sea! I think anything will irritate an open wound in the skin. My dermatologist suggested Aveno moisturiser and E45 Emollient shower cream when she thought it was Eczema. I'm sure they will help during a dermatitis herpetiformis outbreak, or be the least irritating. Rinsing off after exercise should give you some relief. Dapsone is an antibiotic and it does reduce the skin inflammation associated with dermatitis herpetiformis blisters as well as eliminating the itch. I don't think it affects the immune system like oral steroids though. My GP said it can affect the bone marrow ... I believe in terms of red blood cell production. It causes them to break apart prematurely. They measure the reticulocyte count (immature red blood cells) in your blood while on Dapsone to see it's effects. People with a G6PD deficiency are more susceptible to Dapsone side effects. Here's a leaflet from the British Association of Dermatologists explaining Dapsone in more detail ... https://www.skinhealthinfo.org.uk/condition/dapsone/ Your dermaotolgist would need to determine how long to be on Dapsone. I guess if the antibodies in the skin are reduced over time with a strict gluten-free diet, then the need for Dapsone is less likely when glutened. So, Knitty Kitty's advice on Niacin and all things dermatitis herpetiformis related is spot on.  Have you had the skin biopsy yet?

      Test result insight

      By disneyfamilyfive · Posted

      Good morning, I thought I’d quickly update this post.  A week or so after my test results were posted, my doctor’s nurse called to say 2 of 3 blood tests showed elevated numbers and referred to GI for further evaluation.  It took about 3 -4 weeks to get into a GI, it was over the holidays too, so I’m sure that pushed things out a bit.  Met with the GI who was great, really listened and said that even though the main celiac test was still in normal range, there are 2 tests that are not and in his experience not all 3 tests need to be positive to take the next steps.  He said after listening to all my symptoms, and looking through my recent medical history he felt that celiac was very likely.  5 days later I was in for an endoscopy (and colonoscopy just to cover all bases at once) and 6 days later the biopsy results came back as positive for celiac sprue.  GI of course said a strict gluten free diet, referred to GI registered Dietitian and come back in one year for a repeat endoscopy to determine healing. If symptoms don’t subside (or improve) after gluten free diet for a couple then return sooner.

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Matt13  I understand where you're coming from.  Seemed I was reacting to all sorts of foods there for a while, but a low histamine Paleo diet really helps.   We make histamine in our bodies as a useful  neurotransmitter (causing alertness), and also as a response in the immune system.  Histamine is made and released by Mast Cells.  Mast Cells can become hypersensitive to stimulus and release histamine easily, like having an itchy trigger finger.  Mast Cells need Thiamine Vitamin B 1 Benfotiamine in order to NOT release histamine.  Mast Cells that do not have sufficient Thiamine release histamine easily and at the slightest provocation.   Plants and other animals make histamine, too.  By removing high histamine foods from the diet, more histamine can be removed from the body.  We need Pyridoxine, Vitamin B 6, Vitamin C, Cobalamine, B12, and Thiamine B1 to make Diamine Oxidase, an enzyme that breaks down histamine.  If we don't make sufficient DAO ourselves, DAO supplements are available over-the-counter.   Removing Nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant and peppers) was very helpful.  Nightshades contain alkaloids that cause Leaky Gut Syndrome wherein large molecules of food can pass through the walls of the intestines into the bloodstream, traveling to other organs and structures where they promote inflammation.   After a few days on the low histamine Paleo diet, the Autoimmune Protocol diet, I started feeling better.  My diet was really restricted, but I felt so much better, I stuck with it.  Eating foods that were easy to digest and low in histamine allowed time for healing.  After a few weeks, I was ready to add one food at a time (two week period) back into my diet.  I had setbacks when I ran into a food my body didn't like, and had to go back to the start, but it was worth doing.  Celiac is a marathon, not a sprint.   Blood tests are not accurate measurements for various B vitamin deficiencies.  Vitamin levels in the bloodstream are different from the amount stored inside cells inside organs where they are utilized.  You can have symptoms of a deficiency yet have "normal" blood levels.  The best way to test for a B vitamin deficiency is to take it and look for health improvement.  B vitamins are easily excreted because they are water soluble.  Malabsorption in Celiac can affect all the vitamins and minerals our bodies need, not just one.  Do talk to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing while healing.
