Soy beans and cross-contamination

My doctor suggested trying soy in its various forms as a way to increase my protein intake. I've found certified gluten free tofu and some other products that I will try beginning this week. I'm hoping it goes well, but I have noticed that the processed soy products (tofu, beverages, tempeh, etc) tend to be quite pricey.

I would like to try buying my own dried soy beans and eating them in a variety of ways. This seems to be the most effective way to do this. The problem here is that, from my understanding, there is a high risk of soy beans being cross-contaminated with wheat. (This is due to many farmers alternating wheat and soy crops in their land, and using the same equipment to harvest etc.)

I live in Canada and am having some difficulty tracking down soy beans that are certified gluten free. I suspect it is a bit easier in the US. Any advice/insight on soy beans and cross-contamination, or certified gluten-free brands that are available in Canada?

      Meniers and celiac are they related

      Thanks Kitty for your guidance. I will do the test to see if I have nutrients deficiencies and at the same time re organize my diet to see if that helps with my vertigo and other symptoms.

      Yes, Vitamin D is frequently low in Celiac Disease and Meniere's both.  Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace test to check for thiamine insufficiency.  Diuretics can cause excess thiamine loss.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that improves intestinal health.  Thiamine in the form TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide) helped improve my Meniere's syndrome.

      Kitty, to correct the anemia I got IV iron and B complex for 30 days. Then my next step will be test for nutritional deficiencies.

      Welcome to the forum, @nataliallano, There's a dozen or so vitamins and about as many minerals that our bodies need to live and thrive.  Our vitamins and minerals can become depleted in Celiac Disease due to malabsorption and inflammation, so we need to eat a nutritionally dense diet, and keep inflammation to a minimum.

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      No, not if you've got an official diagnosis already.   Let's continue our conversation on this thread... Thanks
