Lactose, gluten and soy free

Toto

I have a soy allergy, a soya bean could kill me. However, I can have anything which has soy lecthin in but nothing with soy protein. Lecthin has the protein removed which I'm told is what causes most people's allergy/intolerance.

Zingy, I really think you should try and see another GP for advice. I saw my gp about 8 times feeling dreadful complaining of no energy, bowel problems nausea, joint pain, pins and needles etc I thought I was going mad I felt so ill. After my biopsy for coeliacs came back positive I was having problems with about 15 different foods. I kept a food diary and with support from a hospital dietition I managed to slowly introduce each food again. The cause of my food intolerances was my damaged villi and once this healed problem foods did not bother me. I suppose what I am saying is please try and get to the root of why you have food intolerances and make sure you are getting enough vitamins. I now have vitamin D defficiancy and am taking tablets from my gp for this. I am careful to eat non dairy vitamin d rich foods but coeliacs can have a problem with absorbing vit d so my consultant says.
A good gastro doctor will take you seriously and find out the root of your problem.

Don't forget goat's milk, another lactose free alternative that still has plenty of calcium and doesn't make me bloat or vomit.....

For Londonsurrey...

This is based on using a tin of chickpeas but if you cook them yourself it's about 400gms once boiled.

Drain on kitchen paper, toss in a bowl with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, if this doesn't coat them all then maybe add a little bit more. You can just add some sea salt or spices like garam masala or cumin (start with 1 teaspoon of spice and see how they are, don't want to overpower people's tastebuds. Spread out on a baking tray and put in a 220 C oven for about 30 - 40 mins (check they're not burning by 30 mins) They should be crispy and crunchy.
