I believe what I have is an intolerance to soy.. It gives me terrible gas and cramping. It's not uncommon to be sensitive to soy.

I don't know if it's an allergy--it didn't show up on my allergy tests a couple of years ago--but I think I definitely don't tolerate it...it's one of the things I'm exploring right now. Seems that every time I eat something or drink soymilk I feel really bad.

I eliminated it from my diet because it was causing stomach cramps, gas and bloating. I tried researching how it affects females (hormonally), but didn't find anything specific on the internet yet. I am still curious though. marcia

When I eat too much soy, it feels like someone has their hands around my neck choking me (yeah it's weird). My throat closes up. My skin also breaks out (acne) and gets really itchy. I also get all the gas and cramping and stomach pains everyone else is talking about. :(

Ditto on the gas and painful bloating.

I always assumed it's because soy products are made from beans that I had that reaction. Then my doctor was like duh, your body is trying to tell you something.

So now I avoid the soy.

It's a total bummer because I used to enjoy decaf soy lattes at Starbucks and now I pretty much can't drink anything there - caffeine bothers me too, so coffee is out, and I'm wary of herbal tea when I can't read the ingredients first.

At least I can still eat lots and lots of rice :P

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree, and hopefully your doctor will contact you soon about the next step, which will likely be an endoscopy to confirm your diagnosis. Do you have celiac disease symptoms?

      Have this rash forming on the back of my legs. Looking for relief outside of going to the doctor.

      By Kirbyqueen · Posted

      Still dealing with this rash on my legs. I've eliminated ringworm (through use of topical ointments). And I also know it's not shingles, as I've never had chickenpox before and I'm still fairly young. Through a lot of online research, I'm leaning more towards dermatitis herpetiformis, eczema, or psoriasis. I've actually got a doctor's appointment in May (finally got some insurance) and I'm going to bring it up then. I'm feeling really hopeful and excited to maybe be getting some relief soon.   Big thanks to everyone for the suggestions and positive thoughts!

      Trying to read my lab results

      By trents · Posted

      You have three celiac disease specific antibody tests that are positive: Endomysial  Antibody IGA (aka, EMA), tTG-IGA, and tTG_IGG. Furthermore, your Immunoglobulin A at 55 is low, meaning you are IGA deficient. This one is not an antibody test for celaic disease per se but a measure of "total IGA" levels and if low (yours is low) it can suppress the individual antibody scores and even cause false negatives. So, yes, it definitely looks like you have celiac disease.   Do not yet begin a gluten free diet as your physician may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining for confirmation of the antibody testing. This may help:

      Hi, I received my labs via email yesterday and have not heard back from my doctor yet. Can anyone tell me if these results indicate I have Celiac?      Endomysial Antibody IgAPositive  Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA6  H0-3 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 3 - Weak Positive 4 - 10 - Positive >10 - Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten-sensitive enteropathy. FImmunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum55  L87-352 (mg/dL) Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG183  H0-5 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 5 - Weak Positive 6 - 9 - Positive >9

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.
