Johanne's Journal, 04 September 2014

I went out today and bought pure sources of soy to test, starting tomorrow, and a few other necessary foods. While I was there, I bought 3 new winter shirts and a pair of cute, fleece pajama bottoms in a size just a smidge too small. How's that for confidence? LOL! The only reaction I seemed to have to milk was nasal and throat congestion. It was totally gone within 36 hours after the last glass. Still feeling so much better. Onward!

36 hours is long enough, so glad you are feeling better. Those pj bottoms will be too tight in no time. Hopefully they are belted.

Oh my goodness! I meant to type too loose. Oh yes, a draw string will keep them up.

Johanne-That's the way to go! It always seemed to me if you buy clothes that fit, you have a tendency to stay that size! If you buy it a little too big to make sure you are comfortable, you tend to grow into them! Filtering out the old and buying the new clothes too small gives you something to look forward to, plus you run out of clothes that fit so you give yourself no choice but to lose so you won't look crazy in your clothes! :-) Lovin' it!!! Try Almond or Silk milk! I love it! Glad you are feeling better!!! Meonadiet- You meant the pj's will be too loose right?

Coconut milk is another alternative to dairy. Glad the testing is going well so far.

Is that soy to consume? Since you're in the fiber arts, I never know. Forgive me. You must be careful with the soy, Johanne. It has serious health problems including plant estrogens, toxins, and antinutrients. The best way to have it is fermented, if you must. Google the dangers of soy or the truth about soy on the Internet. Definitely almond, hemp and coconut milk are great alternatives and really easy to make with just a blender and a cheesecloth.

I'm testing soy foods to see how I react. I bought dried edamame. It's only for two days. Believe me. I know I don't want soy. Unfortunately, it's almost impossible to escape it. For instance, the only chocolate I could find without it is Nestle dark chocolate morsels. There is almost nothing out there, even the "healthy" foods without some soy additive. I need to see how badly I react to it to see if I can ever eat out again! At home, I eat only single ingredient foods. Out of the house, I can find gluten free but have no idea what may be in other foods and food flavorings. The food Lobbies and FDA are trying to poison us all. Next, I test corn, which is as bad as soy and just as insidious! Thanks for looking out for me, Heather. Love you!

Bonnie, you are doing just great! I am so proud of you!! I have heard that raw milk won't have the allergic reaction that pasteurized milk has. I like my almond milk, though. I do use heavy cream or half n half in my coffee and that's about it. You are right about soy being put in most prepacked food items. Just eat fresh whole foods and don't ever eat out. Ha Ha! ( ... in a perfect world, right?) I am hearing now ... that fermented food and drink can be a source of allergies. It is the histamines in them that might cause a reaction. I just read an article on that yesterday. Geez!

The other thing with soy is that it almost always contains wheat. I never understood why. Almost like a preservative or something. Soy sauce has wheat (many tamari sauces don't), miso has wheat, most soy products do. So if you're gluten free, it's really tough. Really, Sandy, that's interesting. I hadn't heard that. Is that true in foods you ferment yourself? And I am proud of you too, BLS, you are indeed doing brilliantly. Love you too!

Heather, I found an organic, wheat free soy sauce. I think they use wheat in the fermentation of soy sauce to moderate the taste. The wheat free stuff is a bit stronger and a bit bitter. Sandy, I've been eating pickles, soy sauce and properly fermented sauerkraut with no apparent issues. I'll keep a watch over things as I add them. I added egg this morning. This experiment has been quite fun, actually. Thanks for all the support!

Is it San J? That's what I've used for over 20 years. I use the reduced sodium silver label. I really don't eat it alot, but it's hard to cook for a Korean without using it in cooking.

Yes, San-J. I don't use much either but every once in a while, I love it on my stir frys and rice.

They're the best, and they make pretty darned good rice crackers too. I like the black sesame ones. Yesterday I did a marinade for barbecued tofu served with kimchi pancake, for you-know-who. The marinade was half cup of tamari sauce, 1/4 cup of vinegar, a tsp of sugar (I use sucanat), 2 garlic cloves and a tbsp of red pepper paste (gochujang in the korean world).
