Soy

Hi everyone,

I seem to have problems with soy. I've read that a lot of people with gluten problems also have problems with soy. Does anyone know what the connection between the two are? I just don't understand why one would cause the other. I understand it as far as lactose goes because once you heal you can add it back. But soy isn't like that, is it? I just wonder if anyone knows what the connection is!

thanks!

I have had problems with soy. For me I think it was my vastly increased dependence on soy following my switch to the gluten-free life. I cut it out completely and can now handle small amounts. I've since learned to rotate my foods and pay careful attention to how I feel. I keep a food/symptom diary that helps me track all of this.

I think a lot of it depends on the state of your gut - if it's badly damaged the proteins in soy could be wreaking havoc along with other food proteins. Soy is also very estrogenic and not really all that good for you.

Does soy damage the villi too? Just curious. I think I'm going to keep a food log too.

Along with the grains, Soy is yet another food that has been genetically 'mucked about' with.

A friend of mine was saying today that she had a problem with Soy Milk. She took it to an alternative practitioner she goes to, for testing. He tested her against some 'pure' soy milk he had and she was fine, when he tested her against the soy milk she had brought she reacted. It was just bog-standard soy milk from Tescos.

How on earth we can find stuff that hasn't been interfered with is beyond me. Possibly the only way is to test different products until we find one that we can cope with, or ask the manufacturers what source their beans are from. It could even be chemicals that the beans have been sprayed with whilst growing that affects whether we react or not!

I am sure good beans from a good 'uninterfered with' source would be fine - at the end of the day they are just beans - it's what they do to them afterwards that is the problem!

Someone posts a link on the forum to illustrate how bad soy is - are you out there Great Bear?

      Gluten free thyroid medications

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The pharmaceutical industry (including BIG PHARMA! 😉) is very good about cleaning procedures before different drugs might be made using the same machinery. I don't believe cross contamination would be something to worry about, otherwise people with serious allergies, for example to antibiotics, would have serious issues with prescriptions drugs.

      Thanks for sharing that site! Do you know if that site has any information about manufacturing/possible cross contact on it? I can't find it. When I have called manufacturers, most of them say they can't guarantee no cross contact in manufacturing (except Lannett, Mylan and possible Amneal, which aren't available near me).

      Possible cross-contamination – concerned about symptoms

      By Dora77 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I have celiac disease and I’m asymptomatic, which makes things more stressful because I don’t know when I’ve been glutened. That’s why I try to be really careful with cross-contamination. For almost a year, I’ve been having yellow/orange floating stools consistently. I’m not sure if it’s related to gluten exposure or something else going on. I’ve been trying to identify any possible mistakes in my routine. Today, I made myself some gluten-free bread with cheese. Normally, I’m very careful: I use one hand to handle the cheese packaging (which could be contaminated, since it’s from the supermarket and was probably sitting on a checkout belt that had flour residue), and the other hand to touch my gluten-free bread and plate. But today I accidentally touched the bread with the same hand I used to grab the cheese pack from the fridge. The fridge handle might also have traces of gluten since I live in a shared household where gluten is used. I’m worried this mistake could have contaminated my bread. There were no visible crumbs or flour, but I know even trace amounts can be a problem. Has anyone had similar experiences or symptoms from this level of contact? Could this kind of exposure be enough to trigger symptoms or cause intestinal damage? Thanks for reading.

      Lubriderm-gluten-free?

      By Mswena · Posted

      So eight days in a row of gluten on top of gluten on top of gluten, I just had to resort to the EpiPen. I wish I could post a picture because you wouldn’t believe how enormous my gut is! It makes my head look like a pinhead.Ahhhgggsahhhhh!!!! I have discovered that I have to read the ingredients when I use a product up that I’ve been able to use without getting a reaction, because they can change the ingredients and bam my toothpaste now has gluten!!! my doctor told me gluten free means it has 20 ppm which someone with a severe a celiac as I’ve got that thing there kills me. I try to find certified gluten-free in everything. I can’t eat any oats unless it’s Bob’s red mill certified gluten-free. Good luck everybody this autoimmune disease is wicked wicked
