| soya milk | Posted by Peter on 2008-05-11 (message id=3459 ) |

Only a very small number of children need to avoid cows milk for medical reasons. Cows milk is a very useful addition to the diet for children, It should be full fat milk, not skim or reduced fat.
For those children not able to take cows milk, goats milk should be tried. Soya milk causes problems to more children than does cows milk. It is also a source of phyto-oestrogens that interferes with the sexual development in boys and girls. I would not recommend it for children. See more of this discussion:soya milk

The symptoms you experience after starting a gf diet suggest that there is also somthing in the new diet that you need to avoid.
Often the main culprit is soya. This gets into a lot of manufactured gf foods, but a significant number of coeliacs react very badly to it. Also avoid all milk and milk products. I would suggest avoiding all manufactured foods, and make your meals from the plain ingredients - rice, potato, fresh meat, fish, fresh fruit and vegetables. Avoid any unknown oils. Use olive oil or corn oil. Avoid dried fruit that contains any added oil. Avoid chocolate that contains soya lecithin. Try this for 4 weeks and see if you note any improvement See more of this discussion:Re Fatigue

I suffered only occasional bouts of severe nausea before i was diagnosed coeliac.
once i changed my diet and excluded gluten, things got WORSE. fatigue, dizziness, more nausea, bloating, wind, constipation, diarrhea, moodiness, less cognitive ability, brain fog, etc. these all occurred in a seemingly random way. after almost a year of thinking i should put up with these things in the short term before i get better, i changed to a different gastroenterologist, who had me do some breathe tests which show i have an intolerance to both lactose and fructose. removing these from my diet during my second year of being gluten free meant that almost all the problems decreased. but sadly even with the special diet, i have been unable to overcome continuing fatigue, moodiness and depression. there is a big loss of confidence involved. as yet i have no doctor or medical practitioner who has been able to help me overcome the fatigue. i have been coeliac and gluten free for two years now and am not sure what to expect of the future See more of this discussion:Re Fatigue

Hi, Any chance you could let me have the american spelt bread recipe as I invested in some great cup measures before I left and find it quicker to use them if I can. I haven't found any recipes without yeast either so would like to try it.
Thanks. Tamsin See more of this discussion:Spelt Bread

Hi Deborah,
Have you joined the UK Coeliac Society? At a local level they operate through a number of volunteer groups who arrange meetings, events, etc. and can provide you with support and information. The Coeliac Society can put you in touch with Group organisers for your area. Besides prescription foods, there is now a wide range of gluten free foods available. A number of committed manufacturers have obtained the necessary licence from the UK Coeliac Society to depict the Cross Grain symbol on their packaging. Close to the symbol (above, or below, or at the side) you should be able to see their allocated Licence Number. Although the Cross Grain symbol shows that the foods are considered suitable for coeliacs it does NOT remove the need for manufacturers to show a product's list of ingredients. The Cross Grain symbol does, however, make it easier for busy shoppers and store staff to readily recognise gluten free products. You will find products available in supermarkets (e.g. Waitrose, Sainsbury, Tesco etc), delicatessens (more and more delicatessens are introducing a GF section), health food stores, some chemists, and on-line (e.g. Drossa, Droppa and Droppa etc. You might like to visit another message board where you may find lots of information and/or exchange ideas with others experiencing similar problems: http://members2.boardhost.com/glutenfree/ Good luck.
