Guest guest Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Okay, folks, I know that some of you are soy free. Looks like I'm going to have to do a trial run and see if it helps me with some lingering health issues. But I love my tofu, so I need some help! What do you eat more of now that you are soy free? What are some of your favourite soy-free substitutes for soy-ful products? I am going to ramp up mushrooms and fungi for stir fries and stuff. Probably increase my nut and avocado intake for " creamy " stuff. Where were you surprised to find soy lurking? We are already free of most processed junk, and have done corn-free, but I can see I'm going to have to either make my own salad dressings or find some " safe " ones to buy. Any suggestions?

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 We eat a large variety of nuts, seeds and pulses, so I rarely miss it. Instead of soy sauce, we use a mixture of balsamic vinegar, sweetener and salt. It works very well. I usually make my own dressings. Deborah Okay, folks, I know that some of you are soy free.

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 What's your favorite kind of salad dressing you currently buy? I bet we can figure out an easy way to make it for you. MimicCreme is great in lieu of soy milk, soy creamer, etc. MimicCreme is cashew-based. Coconut milk yogurt and coconut milk ice cream are both delicious. I still miss tofu.

Any suggestions? ====== Are you a member of Fuhrman's site? the creamy cashew dressing is awesome. I sub the soy milk with water and a tablespoon of chia seeds. LMK if you want my recipe I sub home made nut or hemp milks for soy milk I often use pureed chickpeas instead of tofu. In mousse type things cashew cream and avocados work. good luck. soy lurks everywhere, especially in the dark choc I like to give ot my kid once in a while. It's also in many almond milks Shez -- Giving you the latest news and information about homeschooling http://www.examiner.com/x-10127-Norfolk-Homeschooling-Examiner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Tonight we ate out. I had stir fried veggies with rice, no sauce, no tofu :-( So that was good. But DS didn't finish one of his veg tacos, and I ate it, and then thought afterwards that the refried beans or spicy rice might have had soy in them. Arrgh. What do you buy when you have to eat out?

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Beans, rice, potatoes, or if at a Thai place, rice noodles. Tex-Mex and Thai are my preferred choice, as it's easiest with them to go vegan and GF. the other night I had spinach enchiladas with salsa verde, which I enjoyed. Indian also has some good choices, but more dairy items. College towns are usually the best for vegan food. I like McDougall's approach- find new favorites instead of trying to make substitutions, as they'll never be as 'good' as the originals. And for Thanksgiving, I'm making a new item of my own creation- a sweet-potato shepherd's pie on a polenta crust. Sunday's sweet potatoes were too soft for twice-bakeds, so at the last minute I mixed in my stir-fried veggies and served a 'potato bake.' Also plan on trying the apple-cranberry cake from Karina's blog. Daniel Polk -------------- Original message ---------------------- pdw <pdworkman > > Tonight we ate out.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Have you heard of nufu tofu? It's made from peanuts so it's soy free. I seen it advertized in the back of vegetarian times magazine but I haven't checked it out yet so I don't know if there are any other allergens or how good it is. My computer is freezing up again so I can't really look it up as my phone doesn't display websites well & it's more of a hassle than it's worth. Thought you might want to look it up & check it out since you like tofu it might be an option for you. Good luck! pdw <pdworkman Tuesday, November 24, 2009 11:08 PM Re: Soy free?

It was tough when we were just celiacs with dairy allergies who were vegetarian. Now that I am also allergic to soy and eggs, eating out is tough. soy lecithin hides in all sorts of things. Most non-dairy milks contain it. almost all vegan chocolates contain soy lecithin. I only eat at small, owner operated restaurants where I can be sure of the ingredients. Frankly I find it much easier not to eat out. when I eat out I tend to eat salads with my own dressings or steamed veg with my own dressings.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 I checked my favourite chocolate bars last night. One of them uses soy lecithin, but the other uses canola lecithin!

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 This is really interesting ! I can't eat peanuts either, but the thought has me excited because I used to make my own homemade soy tofu. It isn't hard. It makes me wonder if I could make a tofu from some other kind of bean, because I can eat several. Has anyone else experiment, or up to experimenting with me? I am very curious!

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Ok everyone, take a look at what Wikipedia has to say about Burmese Tofu. I had never heard of it, even though I lived in Thailand for quite a while. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burmese_tofu They make a tofu out rice, or yellow split peas or chickpea flour. I wonder if we could come up with some recipes. I want to taste some! Anyone want to start a business and get it out on the market?

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 I'd just like to share a fairly recent eating out experiance which has really turned me off to the whole idea of trusting other people with my food! Salad should be a safe choice, especially when you have your own dressings and the salad doesn't come with croutons or cheese normally & the place has a gluten free menu! You would think it's a safe bet! Wrong!!! I ordered my salad, emphasizing no bread or cheese of any kind explaining my allergies with the gluten free menu in hand! I got my salad and it looks good, no obvious signs of anything problemsome so I started eating it. Got about half way threw it and found a rather large crumb of bread! I stopped eating of course but looked threw it to see if there was more. It looked as if they put the salad on top a plate of breadcrumbs! I also found a rather large chunck of cheese! I know I had eaten some breadcrumbs because I was sick for days! The manager appoligized, took the cost of the check & suposedly gave me a fresh salad to take home for later, free of charge. When I got home I decided to give my dog some salad and discovered breadcrumbs all threw it! It had to have been the same salad or these people are just wrong in the head somehow! I wrote to a lawyer over this insident because I feel that any place that has a gluten free menu should educate the staff and take extra precautions to ensure that special diet orders are prepared carefully and with caution so that people don't get sick. I probably would have just forgot about it had ~ not come home to discove they had given me another bread salad! That was the straw that broke the camels back! I think for too long we have been too polite about things like this! We need to stand up and say no we are not just sweeping it under the carpet again! This is a serious issue and more and more people are dealing with food allergies & intollerances! If a place claimes to be accomidating they need to take extra precautions to ensure that food is safe! Don't ever be embarrised to speak up when you eat out! Maybe we can sue enough places to make enough money to start our own allergen free restaraunt. lol Sherene Silverberg <sherene Wednesday, November 25, 2009 8:10 AM Re: Re: Soy free?

It was tough when we were just celiacs with dairy allergies who were vegetarian. Now that I am also allergic to soy and eggs, eating out is tough. soy lecithin hides in all sorts of things. Most non-dairy milks contain it. almost all vegan chocolates contain soy lecithin. I only eat at small, owner operated restaurants where I can be sure of the ingredients. Frankly I find it much easier not to eat out. when I eat out I tend to eat salads with my own dressings or steamed veg with my own dressings.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Earth Balance has a soy free buttery spread in a tub that is vegan and very good.

I like to look to traditional international cuisines in particular. I also try to replace processed foods with whole food alternatives, simple, and easier to make sure that they don't contain hidden ingredients. I am, for example, planning on replacing tofu in stir-fries or rice dishes with a variety of mushrooms. Portabellas can also stand in for burgers, of course, though there are also plenty of recipes for bean burgers, falafels, etc. that provide good options. I still have to try carrot dogs one of these days. I'm terrible with anything that has to marinate, I'm too impatient and don't plan ahead enough. Oh, and using avocado or (safe) hummus instead of mayo - easier than trying to find a vegan and soy free commercial mayo!
