The no soy statement is true for Warfarin only. With the advent of other blood thinners like Xarelto, for instance, only grapefruit is to be avoided. Eliquis has no food restrictions with taking it.
You might check out OWYN drinks. My mother was able to tolerate these when she was having trouble with other drinks. She has gastroparesis and during a bad flare could tolerate almost nothing, though right now she can tolerate a bit more. If you seach on the Internet you might try "plant-based" and then check the sweeteners. https://liveowyn.com/blog/lactose-intolerance-and-whey-sensitivity/
Consult with a registered dietitian familiar with allergies. You said pea protein was a problem, but in the hospital we found medical supplements with pea protein were liked and well tolerated by the patients. When using alternative "milks" remember that you are not getting the same amount of protein. Some are very low in protein.
I have some experience here because of kids with intolerances.
it is getting harder to find certain “boutique” supplements in my opinion. Many small companies are being purchased by private equity, and many of my favorite products, some of which I have used for 20 years, are disappearing. My Alive! Ultra Shake, a pea-protein based nutritional shake, that worked so well for my family, is just gone now after the company’s purchase. You would have had several good choices five years ago; not so much anymore.
I really like hemp hemp protein because of the excellent amino acid profile and the mild taste. Comparatively, anyway. Pea protein is popular and might be something to try. We are defaulting to protein powder in smoothies, plus a good multi-vitamin (Rainbow Light is what I am using right now).
Good luck—as companies fail after covid, and sell to private equity, the ingredients get cheaper and not as customer friendly, I am afraid.
I would consult a nutritionist; ask MD for a consult appointment if this is available to you. Many supplements that are medical are different from over the counter, or you may seek help in making your OWN nutritious concoctions, dependent on time you have. Best of luck.
I never thought about "medical" supplements. I have three kinds of protein powders I can tolerate and I do add those to food. I just thought it might be "fun" to have a pourable version once-in-a-while to put on cereal. Guess I'll continue to stir in my own powder. You are one of my favorite "answer people" on this forum. I asked you last year if you might be related to any of the Deer family from Menominee, WI and I believe you said, "No," but I think of them when I see your name.
Like many other things I think it is a matter or reading all the tiny print on the bottles and weeding out what you can and can't have. You might want to spend some time with Google and search the individual ones you need/want. I am sure there are many that will say that "we" probably do not need most of the supplements that "we" take daily. I did a quick search using "gluten free, dairy free supplements" and quite a few came up but looking at some of them I think soy might be used because it is dairy free. But that was a very quick search, It might be worth a trip to a "specialty" store like Vitamin World if you have one and talk to someone that knows the stock they have. Good luck in your search.
Thanks for your ideas. My best bet so far has been hemp protein powder which can be used to make a drink, but I usually just add it dry to my meal. Most of the "dairy free" ate soy or whey based, and I habe to avoid both. It gets quite amusing when mote and more foods have to be avoided! Thank for giving my question some thought and Happy Valentine's Day!
