Anyone Have Trouble With Amy's Tofu Scrambler?

I ate this yesterday first thing in the am and shortly after felt the signs of being glutened. Today I still feel yucky! My only other possiblity could this be a reaction to the soy? I drink soy milk every once in a while with out a problem. Just curious! This is the first time since being gluten-free that I have felt this bad!

Ooh sorry you got sick - I know people have been glutened by Amy's.

This is just a random observation - I've noticed that a large majority of the time, when people talk about getting glutened by a pre-packaged gluten-free item, that item almost always contains soy. Maybe that's just a coincidence. I notice for example, that people have problems with Van's Waffles. Well there's soy flour in Van's Waffles. Soy in the form of flour always, without a doubt, makes me feel "glutened". Maybe that's just me though.

Hmmm - Sorry that doesn't help you much, but I do think it could have been the soy. Hope you feel better. :)

Random Observation #2:

Everytime someone on this board says, "Have you ever gotten sick by...." If I've eaten that food, then a huge YES has always welled up inside of me. Bob's Hot & Tasty Cereal, Van's Waffles, Amy's Tofu Scramble, those are just a few. I've wondered if if was cross-contamination or the soy causing a similar reaction. I think I've read that soy is similar enough in its protein structure that it may cause a similar reaction. I know that I can't drink Soy Milk, but sometimes soy ingredients don't seem to bother me.

Yes, Becky, I've had a reaction to Amy's Tofu Scramble. Like Mango I've wondered. I dunno :unsure:

      Help!  My 5 year old daughter just stopped eating dairy and gluten due to her EoE and Celiac.  Her favorite candy in the world is tootsie rolls.  I did some research, and it sounds like these are the only options for finding something similar, but I can't find them anywhere to actually purchase.  Have they been discontinued??  Does anyone have another recommendation for a gluten-free/DF tootsie roll option?

      I wonder how long it usually takes and if it is dose dependent as well... or if some ppl have a more pronounced reaction to gluten than others   thanks again for all the great info

      Wow KK, thank you so much for all your attached info. I had a very quick scan but will read more in depth later.  The one concerning corticosteroid use is very interesting. That would relate to secondary adrenal insufficiency I think , ie AI caused by steroids such as taken long term for eg asthma. I have primary autoimmune AI, my adrenals are atrophied, no chance if recovery there. But I am in touch with some secondaries, so something to bear in mind. .  Niacin B3 Very interesting too. Must have a good read about that.  Im sure lots of questions will arise as I progress with dermatitis herpetiformis. In the mean time, thanks for your help.

      Welcome to the forum, @suek54, I have Dermatitis Herpetiformis, too.  I found taking Niacin B3 very helpful in clearing my skin from blisters as well as improving the itchies-without-rash (peripheral neuropathy).  Niacin has been used since the 1950's to improve dermatitis herpetiformis.   I try to balance my iodine intake (which will cause flairs) with Selenium which improves thyroid function.   Interesting Reading: Dermatitis herpetiformis effectively treated with heparin, tetracycline and nicotinamide https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10844495/   Experience with selenium used to recover adrenocortical function in patients taking glucocorticosteroids long https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24437222/   Two Cases of Dermatitis Herpetiformis Successfully Treated with Tetracycline and Niacinamide https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30390734/   Steroid-Resistant Rash With Neuropsychiatric Deterioration and Weight Loss: A Modern-Day Case of Pellagra https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12532421/#:~:text=Figure 2.,(right panel) upper limbs.&text=The distribution of the rash,patient's substantial response to treatment.   Nicotinic acid therapy of dermatitis herpetiformis (1950) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15412276/

      Thank you all for your advice and the dermatitis herpetiformis article. The latter made me realise I had stopped taking my antihistamine, which I will restart today. The Dapsone has cleared the rash entirely but I still get quite a bit itching, absolutely nothing to see though. I know its notoriously hard to clear and its still relatively early days for me.  The iodine issue is very interesting. I do eat quite a bit of salt because I have Addison's disease and sodium retention is an issue. I also have autoimmune hypothyroidism, not sure how a low iodine diet would play into that? Because of my Addison's I am totally steroid dependent, I take steroids 4 x daily and cannot mount any defence against inflammation. I need to increase my meds for that. Now that I know what is wrong I can do just that if Im having a bad day. Life is very sweet, just so damn complicated sometimes! Hey ho, onwards. Thank you again for your advice.
