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.

      Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      There is a 10 year old post in this forum on Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream. The information is somewhat outdated and the thread is closed to further comment, so here is a new one. Edy's And Dreyer's Grand Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - 1.5 Quart is labeled "Gluten Free". This is a different answer than years gone by. I don't know the answer for any other flavor at this moment. On 1 May, 2026, Edy's website says: "As a general rule, the gluten in Edy's and Dreyer's® frozen dessert products is present only in the added bakery products, such as cookies, cake or brownies. We always label the eight major food allergens on our package by their common name. We recommend to always check the label for the most current information before purchasing and/or consuming a product. The exception to this rule is our Slow Churned French Silk frozen dairy dessert, which contains gluten in the natural flavors." https://www.icecream.com/us/en/brands/edys-and-dreyers/faq It seems that Edy's and Dreyer's are more celiac-friendly than they were 10 years ago. Once I found enough information to make today's buying decision, I stopped researching.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes and goes randomly as before again.
