Besides the fact that any kind of unfermented soy is toxic and very unhealthy, a lot of people with celiac disease can't tolerate it at all. Lots of us get pretty much the same symptoms from soy as from gluten.

Both soy and dairy have also shown to cause villi damage.

I guess you'll have to find another milk substitute. Two better ones than soy milk are rice milk (not Rice Dream, it has barley malt) or almond milk. I use rice milk with my cereal and like it fine.

I am in the early days of healing, and have also been having problems with soy (and dairy, but for some reason soy seems to be the main offender!) How long have you been gluten free? I have been told that it is very common to find your body reacts to various other foods in the first few months of recovery. Try cutting out soy for now, and reintroducing it once some time has passed...:-)

What about Lactaid milk?? Does that hurt your tummy?

First cold pressed unsweetened coconut milk is great too and great for the digestion and candida.
You can find it in the Asain isle of the grocery store.

I use a Rice Dream just fine. Not sure about all the details right now as I just used one and need to get another. It was the organic one found in the grocery isle. No problems for me at all. I guess not all of them have gluten. I chose this one because it was gluten free, organic and had the least ingredients of any and was sugar free. Well, yes, rice is sugar, but you know what I mean.

I miss my soymilk. Gave it up because of the soy and carrageenan.

I haven't done almond milk yet because I can't find any without carrageenan.

What you really mean is, you use a rice milk, but not the Rice Dream brand. I use the President's Choice Organic rice milk, which not only tastes better than Rice Dream, but is cheaper as well. And it doesn't have gluten.

Nope..I meant Rice Dream..just got back from the store and it's organic Rice Dream. Says Gluten Free on the back. I understand all the rules about labeling and laws and what requires 'Gluten Free' and some people saying that Rice Dream has gluten in it because they are allowed to say it doesn't because of the small amount.
I guess it bothers some and not others. This one doesn't bother me at all.
I read on a couple other forums where some others said the organic Rice Dream was fine for them too.

Okay, I misunderstood you then. Yes, it has barley malt. They are now declaring it gluten-free, because the gluten is below 20ppm. But obviously, it really isn't 100% gluten-free.

I just found here today that in Europe (where the 20ppm originated) they would not call it gluten-free, but would rather say, "Suitable for a gluten-free diet". If they say 'Gluten Free', it is 100% gluten-free.

I wished they would do the same thing in America, it would make things easier. Here in Canada the Rice Dream doesn't say it is gluten-free, because here they can't say that if it isn't 100% gluten-free.

Personally, because there are several kinds of rice milk, I would choose one that is 100% gluten-free above one that isn't. Because who knows, over time it may do damage, even if you don't have obvious reactions. But of course, it is a matter of individual choice.
