Soy Problems, Dry Eyes, etc.?

I haven't been officially diagnosed with celiacs, but I don't think I need any kind of test to tell me I have intestinal damage due to foods.  I really watch my intake of dairy, gluten, wheat, (and now, soy).  After 2 years I'm still uncertain about the gluten, since I rarely mess up on that one and it's usually coupled with an ingredient of soy or dairy, leaving me not knowing for sure.  This last episode felt like I had lost a few years of my life.  I had been eating some beef jerky that I had made with gluten free soy. I must have been exhausted because I ate a granola bar with dairy and wheat in it, and I NEVER just eat something without thinking.  I think it was the soy though, because I've had other episodes of a soy and gluten contamination.  Anyways, it happened so fast.  Within 2 minutes, I my upper stomach and intestines (just under my sternum) was in so much pain.  It was hard and swollen.  I started sweating profusely and my back radiates intense pain.   I tried sitting up in a bathroom stall but I couldn't control the pain.  I was so out of my mind with pain I laid on the floor in the bathroom on a nasty dirty concrete floor at a sports arena and someone found me.  I passed out during that time.  I came to on my own and dragged myself to the toilet where I made myself throw it all up and started getting some immediate relief.  I've never passed out before from the pain.  Is there anyone out there that has symptoms like this for soy?  I also have eczema across my eyes and in my ears.  Not sure if it's related too.

I had the same symptoms from gluten.  This is exactly what would happen to me before I was diagnosed with celiac. I was living by myself at the time and would pass out in the living room,  bathroom,  kitchen, etc from the pain.  I would break out in an intense hot cold sweat and be doubled over in so much pain that I would hyperventilate and pass out.  It happened to me at work too,  right before I grabbed a trash can and threw up in it right in front of my boss! :(

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      A lot to think about here. Does anyone have any recommendations for third party laboratories that will do full panel celiac screens private pay in the U.S.?
