Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
friendly reminder Lecithin is Soy and in all your chocolates, snacks, brownies, .. next time you hurting somewhere think back what you ate that day or week
There are other kinds of lecithin other than soy lecithin. It will list the type on the package, but I agree that most of it is soy lecithin. There are so many items I could eat if they would only remove the soy.
My husband could not find any chocolates or cookies without soy lecithin, not even the betty crockers brownies mix or in one of those section. He got so pissed be bought flour and bake his one cookie a day LOL
These are in my cabinet, probably found them online at Walmart, stores don't have things I can eat on the shelves. Nestle Simply Delicious chocolate morsels
or these chocolate chips
and King Arthur Ultimate Fudge Brownie Mix
When I'm in stores hunting for anything I can actually eat, I fantasize about everything that I can't eat disappearing off the shelves, and only things I can eat are left. Think it would be a very small number of items. Can't have gluten, dairy, or soy.
For soy-free mayo, it's easy to make your own with olive oil if using a stick blender. I've also found some at Winn Dixie, Sir Kensington's and a friend found a paleo mayo by Hellman's that seems to be one I can eat. She doesn't remember where she bought it.
I do better online than in actual stores.
