Thanks to everyone who responded to our question on the GF  status of soy
milk.  Following is a summary of your responses.

1)Silk, 8th continent, Trader Jo's, Pacific brand, Costco's  brand, Silk by
Whitewave are all GF.  Some manufacturers state this on the  label.

2) Despite that, some varieties and some brands use barley  malt in their soy
milk formulas and, therefore, are not GF.  One person  mentioned that rice
syrup often includes the malt ingredient.

3) Several of you mentioned that many celiacs are allergic to  soy milk and
other soy products.  They experience the same or similar  reaction to soy as
they do to gluten.

I apparently fall into the last category.  Although I  enjoyed soy milk, I
had many untoward reactions.  So I have stopped  drinking it -- substituting
Ensure -- and feel much better.

The old, but never overly used, adage of "please read the  label on any
product" applies to soy milk as well as all food items we ingest as  celiacs.

Thanks again for your many helpful responses.
