Re: Thank you Courtenay and !

The 365 brand, Whole Foods own, does not contain soy. I

know they have several canned tunas they assemble, so you might want

to double-check the ingredients. But, as far as I know their

tuna in water is soy-free. Also, Central Market in S.A. has

several brands (a little pricey) of tuna in olive oil that are good

and free of soy. But 365 is as cheap as regular grocery store

tuna.

I like mine with fresh yogurt, olives and curry powder.

Yum.

from whole foods is

the no soy?

Hey Betsy--

Water-packed tuna contains soy oil, which shouldn't bother you

unless you have a soy allergy.

Since you're mostly avoiding soy protein, watch out for fast food

meats, especially hamburgers, and chicken patties.

Tuna has soy??? Or is that oil-packed

tuna using soybean oil?

I've been using water-packed since it came out umpteen years ago.

Dear --

Every time you've been kind to me, or cheered me on, you've given

me a spoon. Your kindness really makes this board special.

Best wishes--

Courtenay.

The same goes for you too, Courtenay

-- if I ever have a few to spare,

I'm sending them your way! This whole conversation is kind of

funny

because I just ordered and received a complete silverware service

for

12 -- this includes teaspoons, soup spoons, and ice tea spoons, 12

of

each. You'd think I'd have plenty!? (The only problem is,

I'll have

to spread them out over 6 months ...)

Courtenay; I can't thank you enough for the many times you have

cheered me on as well. Thanks for always being there. And for recipe

ideas! Hmmmmm, tuna, yogurt, olives & curry ...

Yes, it can be so frustrating. But it's worth it when you eat the

right foods and you feel good and have a little more energy that day

and don't feel like you've been bulldozed. We had some people over

last night and they wanted to order pizza so I was wary of that, but

only had a couple of slices with salad and got a little tired, but

not too bad. So I think we don't have to avoid everything forever

(unless there is a serious allergy) and just have " yummy " stuff in

moderation ...

I had a hamburger, salad and tomato juice for breakfast today. I

never would have imagined I would enjoy that more than a bowl of

cereal or oatmeal, but I sure do ...

What about banana flavored pudding?

Yuuuummmm!! Hamburgers! This one is one that I have for breakfast

sometimes, my own homecooked one, of course. I was thinking banana pudding

because I can eat them cooked, just not raw. Trouble is, I ALSO like the

kind with the vanilla wafers in it and can easily eat the entire thing, if

I'm in the house with it by myself, lol.
