My doctor says I should be taking fish oil. The problem is, I can't find any without soy. Do any of you take it and have you found any soy free?

Is it the vitamin E source that you're worried about? The Open Original Shared Link fish oil doesn't list any soy. Same thing with Carlson Labs. But I don't think you're going to find fish oil w/o vitamin E... (It's the preservative they tend to use...)

Thank you Tarnalberry--It's not the Vitamin E at all. I can't have soy and I have not found a fish oil capsule that doesn't have soy too. I have found gluten free ones, yet they contain soy.

Is cod liver oil the same thing? Do you take it in place of the Omega 3's? My doctor's office is absolutely useless with these questions. Thanks!

New question Jerseyangel. I was just reading in Carlson's site and Dr. Mercola even says their cod liver oil is the best. Do you take the capsules and how much do you take?

The Carlson's one is the same that I've got - I have the liquid, because I'm supposed to take 6-8g per day!!! (inflammation)

They, and Spectrum, don't list their oils as soy free, because of the vit E, I believe.

The cod liver oil is fine for omega-3's. If you're looking for anti-inflammatory purposes, there's supposed to be a 2:1 EPA:DHA ratio, but I've found it hard to get *quite* that far over.

(BTW, I broke one of the big bottles (glass) in a store... the stuff makes your skin very soft when it's all over you. :P Too bad it's so pricey and makes you smell like lemon flavored fish. :D)

Country Life (based in Long Island!) has fish and I believe Omega 3 oils as well that do not contain soy (or preservatives, etc...).

My hubby's cardio doc recommended that he take a brand called SuperEPA 2000 by Advanced Nutritional Technology Inc. (their website: Open Original Shared Link. When my doc suggested I take fish oil, I started taking the same stuff. We buy it through a website called LivingHeart.com (Open Original Shared Link).

It lists ingredients as Fish Oil, Vitamin E, Gelatin and Purified Water. It says it has no preservatives, sugar, starch or colors added and it's cholesterol free. It doesn't list soy but it doesn't say it's soy free either. It doesn't say it's gluten-free either but my hubby called them for me. It's pricey enough that if I were soy reactive, I'd want to know it is soy free before I bought any. I'll send an email to my Living Heart contact and ask her.

BTW -- my hubby took cod liver oil for years until his doc told him it was a probable cause for him having osteopenia before age 45. Apparently, too much vitamin A is bad for your bones.

Also BTW -- my doc warned me to make sure I got lab grade fish oil because of possible mercury contamination.

I received the email back today. There is no soy in this product. I see the link didn't come through but we get it from www.livingheart.com under the "Living Heart Store" link.

I eat sardines for breakfast. Definitely not everyone's idea of a great way to start the day, but no soy. :P

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      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.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      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.):
