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! :(

      You may know this already, but in addition to what you've described, you may also want to get a genetic test. About 1/3 of people have one of the genetic markers that are necessary (but not sufficient) for getting celiac. If your son is one of the 2/3 of people that don't have the marker then it is almost certain he does not have celiac. (The genetic test won't tell you if he has celiac, it can only tell you whether or not he is susceptible to getting celiac.)

      That is really interesting, especially because it points to how the gut microbiome may still stay altered in celiac disease even after going gluten-free. The idea that a fiber like inulin could help feed beneficial bacteria and reduce inflammation is encouraging, although I imagine some people with celiac disease or other gut issues might still need to introduce it carefully depending on tolerance. It definitely feels like an area worth watching, because anything that could help support healing beyond just avoiding gluten would be valuable.

      @Irishgirl5, it does sound possible for those numbers to fluctuate a bit, especially when they are near the upper end of normal, but ongoing symptoms still make it understandable that you are concerned. The fact that his tissue transglutaminase immunoglobulin A is still technically in range does not always make the picture feel any clearer, especially with tummy pain, nausea, constipation, and diarrhea still going on. Anxiety can certainly add to gastrointestinal symptoms, but I can see why you would not want to assume that explains everything. It sounds like keeping an eye on things and being cautious with diet changes makes sense, especially if symptoms continue. Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      @Stegosaurus, that is really interesting, and it sounds like you have done a lot of careful digging into what might be driving your symptoms. The connection between dysbiosis, food reactions, and specific additives or sugars is clearly complicated, but your point about hidden ingredients and individual tolerance makes a lot of sense. It is also encouraging that you found something, like the fermented Florastor approach, that seems to help you tolerate certain foods better. Posts like this are helpful because they remind people that sometimes the reaction is not just about the obvious ingredient on the label.
