Turkey Time

After hearing a friend tell a story of how her son's body healed itself of a milk allergy, my passion for removing soy from our diets has reemerged.  Daily considerations about diet and additives have led me to research soy-fed chickens and turkeys.  Yes, it's true, soy-fed chickens and turkeys do contain soy in their eggs and body tissues.  To test the water, so to speak, I removed eggs and egg products from my son's diet for a week.  Then, I sent him to school with an extra delicious cupcake.  That day, when I picked up the soy boy from school, I found a note from the teacher.  It read, "The cupcake may have been too much."  This was enough for me to consider the role of eggs and soy.  I am on a hunt now for soyless eggs, and I will post one turkey farmer claiming to use coconut based turkey feed.

We've Discovered a Soyless Mayonnaise

This summer is going to be great, simply based upon the menu.  With mayo back on  shopping list, we can make so many delicious summer salads  Spectrum Organics carries this mayonnaise and other similar products in the whole foods market of Wegmans.  It is organic too. http://www.spectrumorganics.com

Variety = Satiaity

Straight from the International Market of Wegmans comes another soyless and dairy-free chocolate chip.  I've tasted, and I am tasting more.  The texture is closer to a dark chocolate than milk chocolate.  They are tasty, and they are regular-sized chocolate chips.

Kashi Does Pizza Right!!! Another Soyless Joy!!!!

Added Antifungals in Shredded Cheese

Still missing something that is triggering an allergy... When I looked at the shredded cheeses, I noticed this ingredient: Natamycin.

I'll be shredding my own cheese, thank you.

High Tyramine?

Tyramine is a monomine compound that naturally occurs in foods. More prominently,tyramine is associated with migraines. Since Parmesan cheese is to blame for many rashes, I wanted to research chemical similarities between soy and aged cheese. At this point in my research, the link is tyramine. I am open to criticism or comments on this topic. Enlighten me.

A Whole New World, Literally

We do most of our shopping from fresh foods and the perimeter of the market. The basics such as cheese, milk, eggs, produce, and meat make up our basic shopping list. However, I decided to look into some kosher foods, after learning that many do not contain soy. After spending an hour in the global market, I noticed that each ethnic food group contains one or two new items for us to try, but by far the kosher foods present a huge find!

Another blessing of Passover!

Getting All On Board

Since we have evolved in our knowledge of soy in relation to allergies, it would be a great expectation for others to have the same knowledge or dedication. However, there really should be Food Allergies 101 for caregivers. Signing off as:

Hebrew National (Not a Simple Beef Frank)

In the summer, we attended a family reunion which ended in vomiting. It appears that hydrolyzed soy protein is natural. Here's the culprit.

Peace in Our Home

For the first holiday since our little Soyless started eating solids, we had peace in our home. After some reflection, I found a few places such as church and family gatherings where soy may slip into his diet unknowingly. I learned to pack treats for church, and warn everyone that nothing, absolutely nothing goes into Soyless's mouth without my approval. The result was soy-free cookie Christmas treats and all family dinners, but one hosted here. What a beautiful relaxing holiday! The complete elimination proved effective. Our son was a better listener, went to bed on schedule, and managed to only have a few mischievous events.
