I recently read that soy might be related to infertility. Any knowledge is much appreciated. Since going gluten-free, I have also gone lactose/casein free and intake a lot of soy milk. Thank you!!

Hi!

I recently read a book about soy and fertility and I'm convinced that soy is not good for you at all. I wish I could cite the section, but I got the book at the library a month ago. The book is called THE MOOD CURE, by Julia Ross, M.A.. Ross cited research about vegetarian child-bearing aged women who once they became vegetarian, their period stopped. What it comes down to, is that their consumption of soy was increased and it was effecting their progesterone and estrogen levels.

In the U.S., we are told that soy is the wonder food, but we consume too much of it. The average Asian woman consumes only 2 tablespoons a day compared to the ounces that we consume here...soy milk, tofu, and as ingredients in processed food.

Yes, I am a big believer that soy does adjust your female hormone levels and eventually put them out of whack.

Like I stated before, I wish I could cite the text, but I am going from memory. I'm sure somebody out there will counter this reply.

Sorry that this is only a little bit of help.

Kim

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.

      If you were just diagnosed I can say that if you go 100% gluten-free should should see dramatic improvement of your symptoms over the next few months, but the hard part is to stay gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      From the article I linked above: DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG (Deamidated Gliadin Peptide) Blood Tests for Celiac Disease These tests measure the levels of antibodies in the blood, but specifically targets deamidated gliadin peptides, which are a type of gluten protein that can trigger an immune response in people with celiac disease. The test is not always included in adults, but should be in cases with IgA deficiency.  I'm not sure if this is a grammatical error or not but in the context, two tests are being spoken of together so it could be intended to say, "These tests". I'll ask Scott about that.
