How Do You Know If It's Soy?

How would you know if you're sensitive to soy if the only symptoms from celiac are the neurological ones?

Would you get a gluten reaction or would it be strictly in your stomach? I was told that if I was to have a reaction to dairy it would be with an upset stomach but I'm wondering about the soy now. If I get glutened....which I just did by licking an envelope...my head gets fuzzy and I get a headache. Since I haven't really felt that much better after being gluten free for 3 weeks (except for my goof up) I'm wondering about other things.

Different intolerance's can have completely different symptoms. Soy for me, is constipating, as is corn and rice. Gluten used to cause severe diarrhea, now it causes neurological symptoms. Red dye makes me break out. It's all trial and error.

Sorry that you have not been feeling well. Goof-ups can be frequent when you are learning to be gluten free. I wouldn't worry about other issues until you have been 100% gluten free for some time (with the exception to dairy, which is recommended to avoid)

Once you have totally eliminated gluten, then you can hear the voices of other in tolerances IF you have them. Like Deb says, everyone is different.

And, I have not seen any evidence that envelope glue contains gluten. I will have to research that one.

Hi,

I'm starting to think that I'm allergic to soy. I recently stayed for a few days with my brother and his family, they use soy milk that uses barley as a thickener therefore I could not have any for the time I was there. I found that I had much more energy off the soy. Not really sure about neurological vs stomach symptoms, for me it was an energy thing. Try keeping a food/symptoms diary.

Good luck

Three weeks off gluten is a really really short time. I wouldn't worry about additional intolerances until you've been gluten free for a while longer, maybe say three months or so. It just plain takes time to heal so you can expect ups and downs in the beginning.

      hi, i want to say thank you to you and @trents   . after 2 phone calls to my GI, her office called me back to tell me that a blood test was “unnecessary” and that we should “follow the gold standard” and since my biopsy did not indicate celiac, to follow the no dairy and sucraid diet. i luckily have expendable income and made an appt for the labcorp blood test that day. i just got my results back and it indicates celiac disease i think 😭   im honestly happy bc now i KNOW and i can go gluten free. and i am SO MAD at this doctor for dismissing me for a simple blood test that wouldn’t have cost her anything !!!!!!!!!!! im sorry, im so emotional right now, i have been sick my whole life and never knew why, i feel so much better already   my results from labcorp:   Celiac Ab tTG TIgA w/Rflx Test Current Result and Flag Previous Result and Date Units Reference Interval t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 01 28 High U/mL 0-3 Negative 0 - 3 Weak Positive 4 - 10 Positive >10 Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten sensitive enteropathy. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 01 245 mg/dL 87-352

      Thank you this really helped.

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong.   yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.

      One doctor suggested it, but then seemed irritated when I asked follow-up questions. Oh well—

      @GlorietaKaro, your respiratory reactions to gluten make me wonder if there might also be an allergic (anaphylaxis) component at work here.
