Dairy Intolerant? Try Rice and Easy Milk

I use soya or rice milk.

Gillian Mckeith says you should only use rice milk, because soya milk is bad for everyday use. Anyone know why?

i am intolerant too

thank you for that will try it like u always lookin for more things to try

I like rice milk, but I forget the make of it. They sell it in Holland and Barretts. I used to be lactose intolerant - sinus problems, and I still need to take it easy with milk products.

As a kinesiologist I do loads of food intolerance testing for clients. However what I really like to do is to find out why they have got food intolerances. They don't just appear out of thin air. If you ask yourself why is it that foods we have been eating for generations, and we ourselves have been brought up on, should suddenly start causing problems. The reason is what we have been doing to ourselves over the last 50 years or so.

For example we never before used so many chemicals, pesticides, hormones and medications and these can have the side effect of encouraging the yeasts inside the gut and killing off the friendly bacteria.

No wonder there is a proliferation of those yoghurt drinks. This is certainly one way of helping the insides to work better. There are other ways of course. I believe that there is no reason for people to have to suffer by cutting foods out of their diet permanently. This is to treat the symptom, but ignore the cause of the problem.

Your comments are very interesting....as I have a 11 year old who has colitis and although for many years we tried all the diets we still could not find the root cause of his problems....Since then my six year old is also showing the same symptoms...However we have gone down a different root with him and he is being referred to a dietitian in Jan 08. I have been wondering if to get him tested by a kinesiologist before his appointment?

ps Can you pick up if they are lacking in trace elements?

To my knowledge a kinesiologist can pick up on many many things especially if they have been trained in the 'food intolerances' side of kinesiology.

other alternatives

hello there everyone,

rice & soya milk r good but sometimes the children don't really dig it. my Sophie is 3 and she simply hates these sort of alternatives, so we started getting advice from [DLMURL="http://www.lactofree.co.uk/further-information-and-resources/"]Lactofree's lactose intolerant website[/DLMURL] and we've been testing out their recipes and it has worked really well so far.

Sophie instead to be VERY moody all the time, waking up at night and crying from colic... it was really tough. but now she is fine. sleeps the whole night (well, until 8am, but from 5am to 8am is a BIIIIIG change for us!).

even on her birthday we usually do lactofree goodies for her (which is mainly why I included the website above, so u can actually make some goodies for her that may not upset her digestive system), she loves it.

i'd say, go thru the website, it's got lots of information for parents and even people dieting. totally recomended.

ta ta! 🙂

just realised how old this thread is! oh, dear. hope someone subscribed to it. otherwise i just talked to my own hands. 😀

Hi Ralph

Thanks for that link. I am just about to qualify as a nutritionist and infor like this is good for clients.

Patchouli

Thanks for the link. As Patchouli says - definitely useful for clients. I have used rice milk, almond milk and quinoa milk - all of which I found acceptable. The quinoa milk has excellent protein content. I have also tried oat milk which I found very 'watery' and virtually no flavour and felt I may as well have used water. You can also make your own by soaking almonds, cashews, or coconut in boiling water and allow it to stand a few hours in the fridge, then whizzing it in the liquidiser with more water as necessary. This can then be seived to get any 'bits' out and the 'milk' used as normal. Nut and cereal milks are useful for those intolerant to casein - the main protein in milk.

A comment in the earlier part of this thread about the cause of food intolerances becoming so common is, I think, due mostly to the indiscriminate use of antibiotics in the last 50 years without understanding the consequences of killing off many of the essential gut bacteria, probably along with the proliferation of chemicals which are totally new in the environment and which our bodies may have problems coping with. The consequences of this can be devastating healthwise, leading not only to food intolerances but many bowel diseases, asthma, skin problems and auto-immune diseases among others.

Without a proper balance of our gut bacteria it is difficult for our bodies to function properly. Probiotics and prebiotics to feed these essential bacteria are becoming increasingly essential to support good health. Once rebalancing them has been achieved then many of the other health problems can subside as the body can then start to repair itself. If one is then careful to avoid absolutely those foods one has become intolerant to (an IgG reaction) for a couple of months - 6 months is probably better - then it is highly likely that the body 'forgets' the intolerance. This is dependant on avoiding the offending food, as the slightest bit (and in the case of gluten, dairy and eggs this is extremely difficult because they are hidden in most processed foods) can trigger the response again.

Allergy (an IgE reaction) is a more serious matter and if one is allergic to a food (eg peanuts) it must be avoided altogether.

it's good to know people still come to this thread. i'm glad i helped! 🙂

Did you noticed CarolineN that you posted at exactly 11.11??? Just thinking of a recent thread discussion on significance of 1111 🙂

I didn't notice at the time! Interesting though. Food intolerance is something I am very interested in - maybe the 11.11 situation has some significance?

And now you've posted at 5.55!! Are the Angels trying to tell you something today?;)

I bought some Rice milk a couple of weeks ago and it was really nice. Went shopping yesterday and couldn't find the same one so bought a different make - it's a bit watery. Wish I could remember what the first one was!:rolleyes:

Actually she posted at 6.55!!!!

I bought almond milk recently and used it to make porridge - yum yum
I have rice milk in the cupboard just waiting to be used. I'll report back how it is.

Oh no no no:034: it says 5.55 when I look. You're across the water Star_dust - must be an hour ahead!;)

:eek:Okay, what's going on? I checked the time of that post before I wrote the above and it WAS 5.55. It has now changed to 6.55 - HONEST, it did not say that a minute ago - really, I'm not going mad. Honest!!!!!!:022:

If you glance at it quickly it does look like a 5. Not to worry, though I would be worried if we were an hour ahead of UK here in Ireland!
