Soy Allergy?

I finally got tested for Celiac disease a couple weeks ago after a false positive on the Biocard test. They came back negative. My next step was the allergist because my fast heart rate after eating was getting absurd and the stomach cramps were back. So the allergist did a whole slew of skin prick tests. I came up positive for being allergic to oranges, cantaloupe, watermelon, lettuce, onion, beef, lamb, and soy. I don't have any actual reactions to any of these except cantaloupe and watermelon which I have avoided for years. The soy is the one that stuck out to me. Does anyone happen to know anything about soy allergies and maybe "non-typical" symptoms (if they exist)? Could they mimic the celiac symptoms I thought I was having (diarrhea, weight loss, tachycardia, bloating, etc.)? I've never had any symptoms that suggest a soy allergy, yet the skin test came back really positive with a large welt.

I can't speak to actual allergic reactions but I know when I eat soy it sits in my stomach like lead and just makes me feel icky - almost on the verge of nauseous.  So it wouldn't surprise me if it would cause intestinal symptoms in someone allergic to it.

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
