Soy Intolerance Resources?

I am starting to believe that I have soy intolerance in addition to my celiac disease.  Other celiacs in these forums have mentioned that celiacs often develop soy intolerance, but I was wondering if anyone had any actual resources verifying this relationship.  I would also be interested in any resources for soy intolerance in adults (in general, regardless of celiac status).  Internet searches are not providing me with much information. The articles I've found all seem to focus on infants.

 

Thank you!

I have never found any Pub  Med articles that definitively link a soy intolerance to celiac disease. I have looked.

 

Most of the time, anecodotal evidence is the only source I have found. I do not tolerate soy for some reason (and a few other foods)

but I have not seen any celiac research that explains why. 

 

Dairy is often a secondary intolerance but it is often temporary and it can be resumed after a few months once lactase is produced in the villi once more.

 

Simply put, people may have additional food intolerances but there is no valid, peer-reviewed research that I know of that explains why soy--or any of those foods --are a problem. Some celiac doctors suggest a "leaky gut" is the culprit, but they also say that food intolerances may resolve in time.

 

I did read a good article about food intolerances and celiac written by Sheila Crowe, MD in the book Real Life with Celiac Disease by Melinda Dennis and Daniel Leffler.

I'm intolerant to soy, and while there is no research that shows a direct link from Celiac to other intolerances, it does seem to be quite common for people with Celiac to have other intolerances. I have read that it is possible (though I don't think proven) that for people who are intolerant soy might also cause villous atrophy, but I think the jury's still out on that.

 

Anyway, i've also been looking for good soy-free resources. There are some websites and stuff out there, but it is hard to find gluten-free and soy-free resources (because really, if there's a recipe for something without soy but with gluten, it's kind of useless). Avoiding soy is a lot more difficult than avoiding gluten a lot of the time. It's in the most random places. Tea! What the F is soy doing in tea! I avoid all forms of soy including soy lectin and oil, though I don't worry about "may contain soy" so much. It really limits your gluten-free options since you're like "yay! gluten-free cookies! .... damn, soy lectin in the chocolate chips...."

 

Soy sucks. SUUUUCKS!

If it helps, after 3.5 post-DX, I can now do some gluten-free soy sauce in dishes and soy lecithin in things like choc chips.

Maybe your intolerance will resolve, too! I am not an edamame or tofu fan anyway, so it is no big loss for me if I can't have big portions

of it.

I can eat teeny amounts of cheese (like fingernail sized amounts that I savour as long as I can) and some butter now without problems, but I still avoid soy like the plague. You give me hope, Irish!

Here is what I know about the healing process: patience, time and a plethora of unexpected "get backs"! :)

      Thank you for your response! I have considered starting a food diary in the past, I suppose this is as good a time as any to start.

      Chest pain from celiac

      By Betsy Crum · Posted

      I don't have health insurance so I have never had any testing done. I always thought if I stay away from gluten Ill be fine but I suppose that isn't enough anymore. I will look into getting an allergy test. Thank you for your input!

      Celiac Brand for Indian grocery

      I remember reading an article summarizing testing done by Gluten Free Watchdog on several brands of dried lentils. They were all heavily cross contaminated with wheat and the commentary was to the effect that dried lentils in general were the most heavily cross contaminated product category in their testing data base. So, I would definitely not use any dried lentil product that was not tested to be Gluten Free (<20ppm of gluten) or Certified Gluten Free (<10ppm of gluten).

      While spices, lentils, beans and chickpeas are naturally gluten-free, the main concern with any brand is cross-contamination during processing and packaging. Since Suraj doesn't appear to certify their products as gluten-free or use dedicated gluten-free facilities, there is some risk of trace gluten exposure, especially with their corn flour which could be milled on shared equipment with gluten-containing grains. For absolute safety, I'd recommend looking for brands that are certified gluten-free by organizations like GFCO - good options include McCormick for spices, TruRoots or Bob's Red Mill for lentils and beans, and Anthony's for corn flour. That said, if you need to use Suraj products, be...

      Is it common to develop a wheat allergy in addition to Celiac Disease?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Dapsone, commonly prescribed for dermatitis herpetiformis (the itchy gluten-related skin condition), comes with several potential side effects that patients should monitor. The most frequent issues include blood-related problems like hemolytic anemia (especially in those with G6PD deficiency, which is more common in certain ethnic groups) and methemoglobinemia that can cause fatigue, shortness of breath, or bluish skin. Many patients also experience headaches, nausea, dizziness, or skin sensitivity to sunlight. While these effects are often manageable, there are rare but serious risks including dapsone hypersensitivity syndrome (with fever, rash and organ inflammation), liver...
