Soy Lecithin Test?

I had a big enough problem w/ soy that I haven't wanted to even TRY soy lecithin, tho I've heard of many for whom soy is off-limits & soy lecithin is fine, since it's not supposed to have any soy protein in it.

Yesterday I found a vitamin I wanted to take but rejected it due to soy lecithin.

My question is this:

Does anyone know of a Gluten-free Casein-free product w/ a LARGE amount of soy lecithin in it?

(I have seen that I can buy a bottle of the stuff, but I'd rather actually eat something)

I just don't want to do the test w/ something that has such a minute amount as to not cause a reaction, leading me to think it's ok, only to find out much later I should've stayed away from the lecithin.

Thanks!! :)

I suppose you could add a bunch of the granules to something, like a smoothie. But I wonder if there might be a difference in any reaction between the GMO and non-GMO variety.

Hi Tom--

I've never seen anything that has more than a very small amount of soy lecithin....it's always one of the very last ingredients I think because of what they use it for (emulsifying).

I think the only way to try a bunch of it would be to buy it separately. :)

I would have to agree with Patti, soy lecithin is usually used in products in a small quantity.

You can buy a package of soy lecithin granules in bulk at the health food store for around $1

Ahhhhhhhh yes!! Great idea. :)

That'll probably be the way to go.

I wonder what I'll put it in. A little when I make salad dressing comes to mind, tho I emulsify just fine already, thank you.

Maybe I can just test it straight.

Have you tried it yet? I'm curious how your experiment turned out!

So, are there many people that do OK with soya lechithin but can't handle soy? Hubby seems to have a problem, but I am wonderign what the difference is? Thanks!

I have tried soy lecithin and had a reaction to it. I have psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and coeliac. I started taking the soy lecithin as I thought it might help the psoriasis and my feet are burning and my toes are inflamed. I was also taking flax seed. Anyone have any information on these products as I don't think I have eaten anything else to cause this reaction. My psoriatic arthritis is normally stable as long as I stay completely gluten-free.

:huh:

I forgot to say I had stopped dairy and started taking soya milk without any bad reaction.

Well, there seems to be a few variables here. The advice of many is to try only one new thing at any given time, and wait several days to see how you feel. Any one of the things you've been trying recently might be a culprit. On the lecithin, I guess I'd suggest trying sunflower lecithin (unless you are allergic).

Also, make sure the soy milk is gluten-free. Some products say gluten-free even when there's a small amount present, so it's always a good idea to look over the label carefully, and also check the company website and/or email them.

Are you taking any supplements? I'm sure there are a number of things which can help with burning feet. Here's the first thing that came up on Google for burning feet:

Try using PAM cooking spray. I think soy lecithin is the second ingredient listed on the label.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream?

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/
