I am wondering that as well.

I am pretty sure that it will probably be gluten-free but it might cause problems for those with soy problems as silk is known for its soy milk and it might be produced on the same lines.

It would be nice to have another brand available rather than just Blue Diamond.

I wonder if this one will have carageenan in it as well.

I made the chocolate pudding from their recipe page and it was really really good! I liked the taste of it but I didn't like the consistency, just too thick for me.

Here is the link to their recipe page. Like I said before I didn't care for the consistency of the almond milk for drinking or cereal (I prefer to make my own for this), but it was great for baking and cooking.

Try adding more almond milk to it and it will be thinner.

I guess this does sound confusing. I liked the pudding made with it. What I didn't like was to drink the silk almond milk or like it on cereal because of its thickness. It was great for the pudding.

I like the thickness for drinking and especially on cereal!

I had been using Vanilla flavored Silk brand soy milk with my gluten-free granola in the morning (email me if anyone wants the recipe). The cinnamon does a great job of masking the taste of the soy milk, which I cannot get used to. I tried the Silk brand vanilla flavored Almond milk and found that I don't merely tolerate the taste, I actually LIKE it.

Would love to go back to real milk, but one of my celiac experts thinks that I need to finish healing before I try milk again. I suspect, however that my casein problem is going to stay with me.

      Colonoscopy with large are of inflammation

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @growlinhard1! If eliminating gluten from your diet makes significant improvement in your symptoms then there are two possibilities. Either you have celiac disease (aka, gluten intolerance) or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, aka, gluten sensitivity). The difference is that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that creates inflammation and, over time, damages the lining of the small bowel which inhibits nutrient absorption whereas NCGS does not damage the lining of the small bowel. They share many of the same symptoms. At the end of the day, the antidote for both is to abstain from foods that contain wheat, barley or rye, the three gluten-containing grains. Some countries supply stipends and healthcare benefits for those with an official celiac diagnosis. If you live in the USA that does not apply. The main reasons for seeking an official celiac diagnosis are psychological and social. Many people have a hard time not falling off the gluten free bandwagon without an official diagnosis. They find it easy to rationalize it all away as being temporary or due to something else. When you have an official diagnosis, you tend to take gluten-free eating more seriously. Socially, family and friends are more likely to respect and attempt to comply with your need to eat gluten free if you have an official diagnosis of celiac disease. Your physician is more likely to take you seriously as well if you have an official diagnosis because there are typically other health problems that are spinoffs which develop from celiac disease in time. One autoimmune disease invites others. There are no tests for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. We do have specific tests for celiac disease. By the way, some experts believe that NCGS can transition into celiac disease. If your endoscopy/biopsy is only a month away, I would encourage you to stick it out and go back on gluten to get an official diagnosis. You still have time to get a valid test result if you start back on gluten now, 10g of gluten daily which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread.

      dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks while on strict gluten-free diet

      By BoiseNic · Posted

      I have the same problem. No matter what I eat, I seem to get a break out every 1 to 2 months. I do not do oats, citrus fruits, apples, onions and other foods also, as those cause reactions. The only time I have zero problems is when I fast. The only staple grain I have is quinoa, as that doesn't seem to cause me issues. I have linked mine to a microbiome imbalance. I am currently on month 3 of Skinesa. It's supposed to take 3 months before seeing results. I guess we'll see.

      Colonoscopy with large are of inflammation

      By growlinhard1 · Posted

      I'm having all the celiac sx ~ frequent gas and belching, major constipation which is new, feeling extremely full after eating a small amount and then feeling starving again in an hour or two, frequent urination, itchy skin, hair thinning, stomach bloating, unexplained weight loss of 15 pounds to date, major depressive episodes, irritability and feel weak and unwell all the time. I had a colonoscopy in January which showed a large fold with inflammation that was biopsies. The pathology came back as inflammation. At my gastroenterologist colonoscopy follow up visit, it was decided that I needed a egd with biopsy to see if I have ulcers or celiac. I should also say I have had psoriasis since I was 16 and I'm now 63. Since I have been scouring the internet looking for what may be happening, the doctor mentioning celiac and seeing how my symptoms match it so closely I decided to start cutting out gluten. My biopsy is in a month and if not eating gluten makes me start to feel better, why would I want to continue feeling soo terrible by eating it for a diagnosis? How would a diagnosis benefit me enough to prolong my absolute misery for another month? What does everyone think? Am I missing something?

      While not all Celiac react to Zein, the protein in corn, some Celiac do react to maize similarly as they react to gluten.  And I'm one of them.     Maize Prolamins Could Induce a Gluten-Like Cellular Immune Response in Some Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3820067/

      Not sure if this is Celiac or just a gluten-free intolerance

      By trents · Posted

      @Brook G, would you explain what you mean when you say, "I'm assuming that I'm probably extremely gluten intolerant because QUINOA gives me a gluten reaction." Quinoa is naturally gluten free. However, it is possible to have been cross contaminated with gluten-containing grains and the seed coat lectins can make some people (like me) quite ill if it is unwashed quinoa.
