I'm a firm believer in coconut oil for...pretty much everything. Can you tolerate coconut?

^ Check out #42. Coconut oil has antifungal and antibacterial properties, and you get so many uses out of it. It costs about $10.00 a jar, but you can find it anywhere (Stop & Shop, etc) and there are so many uses for it. You can use it as a moisturizer, hand lotion, etc etc. No need to worry about gluten, soy, or any other allergens. One jar will last for a LONG time. I swear it's helped me with acne too.

Yep, coconut oil is good. If you have any warehouse club memberships, Sam's and Costco both carry it in a large container.

Besides coconut oil, I love Tea Tree Oil which has both anti-fungal and antibiotic properties.  Even covering with petroleum jelly would help heal a cut.  But I would go with the coconut oil.  Safe to eat, so it's safe on your skin.

No, there is soy in it, I have a bad reaction to it with in the hour, if not a few minutes. Advil, look at there ingredients. Soy is not listed in anywhere, but if you call they will let you know its in every pill they make. I notice drug companies dont have to label any form of the 8 main allergies in the products. Its forced on food manufactures, Im not sure why drug companies dont have to show if there is gluten or soy or corn in there products. I was getting panic attacks after taking chewable Bayer asprin, put me in the hospital. I told the manufacture and all they felt the need for is to send me all there coupons. Funny thing is, it all contains soy.

Most of all medicines have some form of soy in it, I'm finding out. I have to have my ibuprofen made in a compounding shop and pay about 1$ a pill because I cant find one commercially made ibuprofen without soy in it. All my pain meds have soy. My antibiotics has soy, It was helping me heal and making me sick in the process. I'm a mess right now, what should have taken a few days on the meds, took three weeks to heal, in the process killed of the good bacteria in my gut, I'm trying to use Pro-biotic, but all the pills have soy, so getting it from cultured yogurt has been fun, but the lactose makes me sick, and looking to eat fermented products, looks like I will have to make all that by scratch because every frekin manufacture uses soy.

 

any ideas?

Best thing ever happen to me is when I went through being Gluten free, most of my crappy symptoms went away, when I stopped soy , then the rest went away. this site rocks. Not all of you have what I have, I wish there was a site for people like me, but this is about as close as I can get. I pop in here when Im at my last straw and you guys are a great help, I will sure use the coconut oil. :D

Yes, love the stuff, no idea you could use that

Because something like Neosporin is unlikely to contain lactose or gluten , maybe the soy free bloggers/sites might have good suggestions.

Well called Neopsorin, that was an interesting call, the wax they use, they would not tell me if it contained anything let alone soy. they  could not tell what ingredients the wax was made from due to giving out the secrets, yea who needs to care if there is something in there that could be allergic to..(Natural Flavor) crap. It like pulling teeth with these guys. He said the wax was the only thing that was made from natural stuff, (you know like Soy or corn or other stuff, thinking in my mind), but could not tell what it was made from. uggg

I can't have soy or lactose either, so I understand your pain. Advil doesn't seem to bother me, but it is so rare that I need to take it now. I hardly get headaches anymore (I think it's because of my strict diet) and when I do take it I try to just take 2 and not take it multiple times a day. Are you taking Advil frequently?

I have soy issues and haven't had any issues with any of the above stated products. Maybe you are having an issue with another ingredient?

Perhaps you need to look at other possibilities. Wax from soy would be more expensive. They don't add things that cost more when they don't have to. It's not good business practice. As others have said there are many here with soy issues (including anaphylactic reactions to it) and there hasn't been an issue. Perhaps it's something else.

I talked directly with the manufacture on Advil, they said all the pills they manufacture has a form of soy in them. I was narrowing the things that bother me. Soy out of my life has made me feel so normal again. but anything with a little trace of any form of soy hits me like a brick

Gluten makes my gut hurt, ever since I pulled that out of my system, I no longer have painfull bowl pain before I got to go. That one thing I had most of my life. thought it was one of my intestines out of wack. After pulling gluten out, Lactose now makes me sick unless its been cooked. Cant drink it strait, makes me sick. Soy puts me in a bad place, strips something out of my cells because I dont have an allergic reaction that Im aware of, my entire body looses the ability to function correctly. Fog,sort term memory loss and feeling lost. just want to crawl into a hole and die.

Have you had any medical tests or clinical diagnosis?

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
