Fairly New Celiac And More Intolerances

I have been gluten-free for 8 weeks, also have an allergy to nightshades.

I was thinking dairy was causing a bit of tummy problems as after I had cheese one day my tummy didnt feel the best, but that may have not been the cause.

I went soy, just over a week ago and this week my skin is awful I have been breaking out in an awful pimple rash on my face and my head is killing me, feel quite brain fogged my tummy has been fine, could this be the Soy? Now I just don't know what to do any suggestions? I feel so limited with foods I can eat and I don't really know if it was the dairy or soy or even both. Its hard to find things that are gluten, dairy and soy and nightshade free.

My GP said my blood test didn't show any allergies but I know that some food is still bothering me.

I am tired have a headache and feeling sorry for myself and not sure what to eat. I eat gluten free biscuits etc more than I should just because they are handy in the kitchen and I have not felt up to cooking.

I am tempted to go to the advanced allergy elimination to check it out. Even if it doesnt work I have more of an idea what allergies are present.

Thanks

Lisa :)

It could well be the soy, Lisa. It is a fairly common additional intolerance. I found a lot of gluten-free processed foods have soy as a substitute; things like cookies, sausages, etc., and now you are substituting soy for dairy apparently. I had enormous problems with soy after going gluten free, now can't even eat chocolate because of the soy lecithin.

If I were you I would cut out the soy and switch to almond or hemp milk (or a gluten free rice milk if that floats your boat). I know it is hard, believe me, to find things free of all these things you mention; mostly you have to concoct your own.

Your idea of doing the advanced elimination diet sounds good if you can do it; it is the surest way of finding out what is bothering you if you haven't already figured it out.

Thanks for the reply,

What are some foods that contain soy, I am so new to this. Soy was something I never thought about till now.

Soy is as insidious as gluten in the number of places it can hide and its different guises. To start with, soy flour is often used in gluten free products. Soy bean oil is used in lots of dressings and processed foods. Hydrolyzed vegetable protein is soy. Here is a list of other names for soy:

Edamame

Kinako

Kouridofu

Miso

Mono-diglyceride

Natto

Nimame

Okara

Soya, soja, soybean, soyabeans

Soy protein (isolate/concentrate), vegetable protein

Tempeh

Textured soy flour (TSF), textured soy protein (TSP), textured vegetable protein (TVP)

Tofu (soybean curds)

Yuba

You would probably also want to avoid MSG and don't forget soya lecithin.

Enjoy Life chocolate chips are soy and gluten free if you are a chocolate lover like me.

When I first went gluten free I was so busy looking for gluten on the labels I neglected to look for soy and got into a lot of trouble because I had mostly (but not fanatically) avoided soy up to that time. I broke out in this ginormous, itchy redness all over my neck, chest and back and scratched for weeks until the good folks here suggested it might be soy. Yep, it was. May not be for you, but it's worth a try. Good luck.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      My only proof

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      Anyone experimented with Taurine supplementation either via electrolyte powders or otherwise? Thanks
