(orginal issue --> Open Original Shared Link

Okay well I was at the Kroger buying the lactose free milk to try and I was thristy, so I grabed a " Silk Alive Smoothie" And drank like a 13rd of it. tasted like flavored chalk... But I am gassy/etc just like I was the other day after drinking that milk+lactait pills+hersy's carmel syrup. :o

I tripple check the silk ingredinents.. nothing there supicius... unless SOY is my issue? I did not react to soy in the scratch tests. UGH why cant this be simple. :(

I didn't react to soy in the scratch test, either. But I can not tolerate soy. Makes me bloat, and gives me terrible cramping, gas and D. I can do soy oil and lecithan in relatively small amounts. I believe that's because the proteins are not in the oil. It's not unusual for us to become sensitive to other things once we're gluten-free for a while. Or, the additional intolerance becomes more evident once the gluten is out.

:( bummer

I'm intolerant to dairy, gluten and soy. For the longest time I insisted on drinking the occasional soy latte, but finally had to accept the fact that I just cannot do it.

It is my understanding that casein and soy protein can both cause gluten-like reactions due to their similarities in structure to gluten. You might drive yourself crazy trying to find some sort of test that will give you the answers.

It can't hurt to eliminate all three for atleast a little while and see if it makes a difference. Then reintroduce soy and dairy, one at a time, and you'll probably have your answer.

(sorry I know it's a pain - literally)

Sorry if you've mentioned this before, but how long have you been 100% gluten free? Maybe you just need more time to heal before you can tolerate certain foods. The enzymes that break down lactose, sucrose, and maltose and located in the villi and when the villi are damaged, lactose, sucrose, and maltose may not be broken down well if at all, causing problems. Silk would have a lot of sugar in it and obviously milk has lactose. Just something to consider.

Carrie,

I thought about that, but a recent endoscopy could not find any damage at all. So that should mean most of my little vila are okay. Does not mean no damage, of course, but even my iron levels are working back up so some signifigant healing must have been done.

The other thing is the villa are in the instestine, the reactions were imediate, so the milk/etc was still in the stomache.

This reaction is ALOT less then the cup of milk. I mean other a little pain and gass Im fine. Its litterly the only thing besides water I have had in hours though so it has to be the silk.

As for avioding soy for a while.. I almost never have soy to start with. I just plain do not like the taste of it. I do not realy look hard for it so I am sure some gets by occasionaly. I only tried the soy drink as to not contimate the milk test I wanted to try. heh so much for that plan!

I just dont know any more. I do have Alomnd Mlik and Rice Milk to use in my cearel at least. Almond taste better then soy, but little to nutty for me, hopeully the rice be better....

Since you did have an endoscopy and the villi appeared to be ok, I would guess that they are digesting lactose, sucrose, and maltose. You may have an intolerance or be allergic to soy. Have you considered getting an allergy blood test done? I had one allergy blood test about a month ago and it tested for about 30 different foods including soy, milk, wheat, eggs, nuts, ect.

I'm not sure if you can get these in the US, but they are soy, gluten, and dairy free.

You could make your own almond milk if you can tolerate nuts. There's a ton of recipes on the Internet just search for "nut milk recipe" and you should be able to find them. They're really easy to make too.

Scratch tests only tell part of the story. For reactions other than IgE, you need a blood test. What you are describing is indicative of an allergy, just not an anaphylactic one. Ask your doctor to do a blood test for allergies.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especia...

      nothing has changed

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can t...

      About Celiac Remission

      This idea comes up often, but it’s important to separate theory from what’s actually supported by evidence. In celiac disease, the immune system does not “forget” gluten in a permanent or reliable way, even after long periods of avoidance, and the celiac genes do not turn off. While antibody levels (like tTG IgA) can normalize on a strict gluten-free diet an...

      need help understanding testing result for Naked Nutrition Creatine please

      Gluten testing is normally reported in ppm (parts per million), which is equivalent to mg/kg, not micrograms by itself. A result of <0.025 mcg only becomes meaningful if you know the sample size tested (for example, mcg per gram or per kg). If that value represents <0.025 mcg per gram, that would equal <25 ppm, which is above the gluten-free threshold...

      Medications

      Medication sensitivity is very real for many people with celiac and other autoimmune conditions, and it’s frustrating when that’s brushed off. Even when a medication is technically gluten-free, fillers, dose changes, or how your nervous system reacts—especially with things like gabapentin—can cause paradoxical effects like feeling wired but exhausted.

The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can take 12–24 months (sometimes longer) for antibodies and the intestinal lining to fully heal, particularly in teens and young adults. Eating gluten again to “test” things isn’t recommended and won’t give you clear answers—it’s far more likely to cause harm than clarity. Weight not changing is also very common in celiac and doesn’t rule anything out. Please know that your frustration and sadness matter; this adjustment is hard, and feeling stuck can really affect mental health. You deserve support, and if you can, reaching out to a GI dietitian or mental health professional familiar with chronic illness could really help you through this phase. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people. According to this study: This article explores other causes of flattened villi:

A result of <0.025 mcg only becomes meaningful if you know the sample size tested (for example, mcg per gram or per kg). If that value represents <0.025 mcg per gram, that would equal <25 ppm, which is above the gluten-free threshold; if it’s <0.025 mcg per kilogram, it would be extremely low and well within GF limits. Without the denominator, the result is incomplete. It’s reasonable to follow up with the company and ask them to confirm the result in ppm using a validated method (like ELISA R5)—that’s the standard used to assess gluten safety.

Even when a medication is technically gluten-free, fillers, dose changes, or how your nervous system reacts—especially with things like gabapentin—can cause paradoxical effects like feeling wired but exhausted. The fact that it helped bloating suggests it may be affecting gut–nerve signaling, which makes sense in the context of SIBO, but that doesn’t mean the side effects should be ignored. You’re carrying a heavy load right now with ongoing skin, eye, and neurological uncertainty, and living in that kind of limbo is exhausting on its own. It’s understandable to feel overwhelmed and discouraged when systems and providers don’t meet you where you are—your experience is valid, and continuing to advocate for yourself, even when it’s hard, really does matter. 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/

      I am not aware of an air detector for gluten, but Nima Partners sells a device that can detect gluten in minutes in a small sample of a meal or food that you eat. They are also a sponsor here for full disclosure: https://nimanow.com
