New to a Soy Allergy...

So my almost 3 year old son was just diagnosed with a allergy to soy. Man, if you haven't read labels for stuff before, pay attention to how much stuff has soy in it! I feel for those of you who are dealing with wheat allergies!

Anyway, my question is, what brand of bread doesn't use soy flour? I started looking, and couldn't find one other than the kind that comes frozen and you have to bake yourself! As a working mom of twins, I don't have time/energy for that so I'm hoping for another alternative!

Thanks!

What can I do next?

My twins (now 14 months) have milk and soy allergies. I found a sprouted wheat bread at Trader Joe's that worked for us. There are a number of varieties and I can't remember what one has no soy in it.....The package is red. In general I was able to find some soy free snacks etc. there. They of course mostly weren't eating most things but they are still nursing and if I eat soy/dairy it effects them as well. That's actually how we found out, way back when they were exclusively breastfeeding. Anyhow....good luck I know it can be tough.

I'm not sure - have you looked at Ezekial bread in the frozen health food section? Just a thought...

I know this isn't what you want to hear but if i were you i would seriously consider baking my own bread. It sounds like a bread machine is the answer. Also be careful when reading labels if it says vegetable oil but doesn't state what type of vegetable as the soybean is a vegetable.

I'm a FT working mom. My daughter is allergic to milk--a common ingredient in grocery store bread. My solution was to buy a bread machine (from amazon.com). Seriously, it takes only 7-10 minutes to dump all the ingredients in; the bread machine does everything else.

The nice thing is that it allows me to offer her more than one type of bread (honey white, cinnamon raisin, cinnamon apple, wheat, French, etc.). So there's variety... And when I price compared specialty bread brand, it was almost $4-5 a loaf--and they didn't taste that great.

Depending on the brand of bread machine, you can use it to make more than just bread. Mine also makes pizza dough, pasta, cookies, and jam.

I would suggest going to a whole foods, trader joes or just a health food store in general. Alot of people are scared of soy now and what it does to estrogen levels in both sexes. I'm not but I know there is a big movement that direction.

Anyways, as someone pointed out below it won't be cheap somewhere around 5 dollars a loaf at best. Might want to reconsider not just buying a bread machine. I've used one and all you do is throw the ingredients in and walk away. Does everything else for you.
