8th Continent Soy Milk

This past week I bought some new products and now I don't know what is causing me to have some reactions. I think it may be 8th contient soy milk. Has anyone had a problem with this kind of soy milk?

I also bought new detergent Purell, and I bought some artichokes and olives thinking they were ok not flavored or anything just in a can. Would I need to worry about those? I have been so good lately and now I have an upset stomach and rash!!! Any ideas? I think I will limit trying so many new things all in the same week.

thanks

kayla

Hi Kayla,

I'm not sure about the 8th Continent Soymilk. I get the Silk brand, since it says right on it that it is free of gluten. I don't drink it anyhow, since I am allergic to soy, but my son who is just as sensitive to gluten as I am gets a stomachache from it. It may be that he is intolerant to soy as well, or it may be that there are traces of gluten in the soymilk. A company can say it is gluten free because gluten is not actually in the product, but some soymilks use barley during processing and they say the barley is filtered out so they don't put it on the label. But to a celiac this can still be enough to cause a reaction. I tried the Silk for my kids at the request of their doctor, but they don't like it well enough for me to buy it twice, expecially with the above information about it's gluten-free status.

You may be reaction to the soy milk AND the detergent. Try stopping both and then if you feel better, add one into your routine and see if it causes a reaction. If you are okay after a few days, then add the other.

God bless,

Mariann

      @cristiana, milk is also a good source of magnesium, another very important nutrient in nervous system/mood health.

      What should I expect from a UK restaurant advertising / offering "Gluten Free" food

      @cristiana, no, I'm asking if, when you eat out, do you actually experience symptoms of gluten exposure apart from any consideration of blood antibody test scores?

      Persistent isolated high DGP-IGG in child despite gluten-free diet

      Like you, I was a silent celiac. I was largely asymptomatic insofar as GI symptoms were concerned. The first real evidence, retrospectively, of having celiac disease was the development of mildly but persistently elevated liver enzymes which initially was discovered when I tried to donate blood at age 37. That was in about 1987. Of course, my PCP checked...

      Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water

      Initially I was going to re-post all of the threads that have people stating they drink or recommend RO water. There are just too many to post, so I'll recommend using the search feature here to find them all. There are currently 4 pages worth of posts with people mentioning or recommending RO water/filtration systems. Granted, some of the search results...

      Like you, I was a silent celiac. I was largely asymptomatic insofar as GI symptoms were concerned. The first real evidence, retrospectively, of having celiac disease was the development of mildly but persistently elevated liver enzymes which initially was discovered when I tried to donate blood at age 37. That was in about 1987. Of course, my PCP checked me for all the hepatitis varieties but cold not find any reason for the elevated liver enzymes. I was also slipping into mild anemia by the time I was in my late 40's and had developed some occasional loose stool and oily stool. My PCP had no clue. I was really concerned about the liver enzymes as they were steadily increasing though never got to alarming levels. My PCP threw his hands up and said during one office visit, "I don't know why your enzymes are elevated. Maybe that's just the way your are." Well, that was not a satisfactory answer. This was about year 2000 and it was not well known that one of the atypical symptoms of celiac disease is elevated liver enzymes. In fact, it happens in about 18% of celiacs. Finally, I booked an appointment with a GI doc who tested me right away for celiac disease and I was positive, both for blood work and biopsy. Within a few months of eliminating gluten my liver enzymes had normalized. But it took 13 years to get a diagnosis. And by that time I had developed osteopenia. Sorry for the long-winded story. My point is, celiac disease can be very slow in developing. By the time symptoms manifest themselves to the extent where they get your attention such that you seek testing, much damage can already be done to body systems. You and your son are very smart to be be pursuing this thing early in his life and let me encourage you, that whatever the next round of testing reveals, you continue to get testing done on a regular basis.

      Initially I was going to re-post all of the threads that have people stating they drink or recommend RO water.  There are just too many to post, so I'll recommend using the search feature here to find them all.  There are currently 4 pages worth of posts with people mentioning or recommending RO water/filtration systems.  Granted, some of the search results are from this thread. For me, it causes major issues with my stomach and as mentioned, there is no way I will ever intentionally drink it again.  As we know, everyone's body is different.  I am certainly not looking for a debate, but do highly advise anyone considering RO water to do their own research. Consider starting with this Google search:  Is reverse osmosis water safe to drink long term?
