Soy Lecithin ?

I know many people who can't have gluten also can't have other things (like soy, corn, dairy).  I have been trying to avoid soy lately.  I saw something online mentioning that even if you can't eat soy, that you can eat things with soy lecithin in it.  Anyone here not able to eat soy, but are okay with things that include soy lecithin? (I feel so confused today, I can't stand it, lol.)

YEP. Soy milk, soy protein, plain soy...I get really bad cramping, gas. Soy lecitin, in supplements, protein powders, or in food additives has never bothered me at all....and I am sensitive to the most random things.

Thanks so much for letting me know.  Okay, that is one ingredient I can handle then.  Yay! Now to remember what products had it that I can now eat.

Don't rejoice so fast.  One man's meat is another man's poison! 

Everyone's body reacts differently to certain things so tread carefully. 

I don't do soy, soy Lecitin, corn, high fructose corn syrup  etc.

If you are celiac,  look for organic foods that don't  contain alot of artificial preserves.

You have a good point there.  Ennis just seems to be very sensitive so I was thinking maybe there was indeed something to that article I read saying soy lecithin tends to not bother a lot of people.  But we all are different. I don't have celiac, but am gluten sensitive.  All of a sudden I started getting long term fever, stomach pain, stomach distention.  My stomach started getting better at one point, after I had given up gluten about two months or so.  And I was still eating some ingredients that have corn and soy.  I was looking back at my food journal and the best few weeks I had, we had cooked BBQ chicken with a gluten free sauce, but I believe it had corn syrup in it. And I ate some mayo a few times that had soy in it, and the magnesium I take has the soy lecithin.  But then I started adding more foods and started having trouble again.  Fiber seemed to make me bloat too, and my dr had given me a list for IBS, with foods to avoid, but then another dr told me they didn't think that was the issue, and it was all gluten, and in a few more months I should feel improvement.  It has been very confusing.

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      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/
