Soy- For Those Who Cant Tolerate

So I stay away from soy as much as possible. Not only because it causes me digestive problems, mostly bloating and gas, but also because the whole "soy is healthy" thing really angers me. Don't get me wrong, I am a person who used to drink soymilk everyday! - if only I knew I was killing myself! :lol: and then add in the whole thing with companies like Monsanto...yeah, I'm not even going to get started...

but my question is:

for those of you who cant tolerate soy or can only tolerate small amounts, is soybean oil just as bad as say soy licithin (sorry spelling) or soy protien for you? I'm not talking using it for frying, but just the amount that is found in almost everything it seems, like mayo, dressings, etc...

I've been buying wegmans tuna that is packed in nothing but water b/c all other tuna's are packed in vegatable broth AKA SOY- GGRR! well, a friend gave me some canned foods last week and in it was tuna-the stuff with nasty veggy broth. I thought, ok, well, I'll try it....OMG all I tasted when I ate it was soy!!!! so gross!!!!! and then my stomach blew up like a balloon and I woke up the next day with a puffy face and water retention. NOt to mention I was naucous the whole day I ate it :( its like PMS. everytime I have soy!!! I noticed that hellmans mayo is bothering me to....I normally dont eat this stuff, but on occasion when I make something for family, like today I made noodle salad to bring to my mom's tomarrow. I tried a little while making it and I feel like a soy reaction is coming on again, the only soy in it is the soybean oil in the mayo :(

do they sell mayo w/o soy??? I dont even buy mayo for myself unless I'm cooking for others....I'm on a whole food siet for the most part...

sorry...I'm rambling on....and on....I'm just frustrated with this world and its food that is all artificial, GMO.... and we are cultivating and harvesting grains and things we werent even designed to digest!!!!! UGH!!!!!! and its so hard to get away from it. you think you are doing something healthy by eating lotss of fruits and veggies, only to find out they are GMO or sprayed with crap, coated in whatever, and soaking up unnatural subtances from the environment they grow in thanks to everything being polluted. I wonder if anything is truly organic anymore? even if it says "organic"....

ok I'm done...I sware :)

I know. Soy and corn the worst! I think Spectrum makes a soy-free mayo (I think it's one of the Canolas). The only other ones I've seen are only available during passover.

After going to an allergist I found out I was allergic to corn, soy, and tomatoes. I've always hated soy. And corn. I've read things saying it's not good for anyone. And those corn syrup commercials saying it's not bad,...YES IT IS. Actual sugar is sooo much better for everyone. The problem is it's so cheap they use it instead. Then try to say it's not unhealthy and it comes from corn. That's bull because it's so processed it's barely even corn anymore.

Basically I also hate corn and soy.

I also have issues with soy. It seems that is in as much stuff as gluten is and it does make it hard. Hellmans has recently come out with a canola based mayo that isn't too bad.

For me the oil is a bad as the flour but I do seem to tolerate the lecithin without too much of an issue. Wegmans does have a soy free tuna, it is in a blue can with a label that reads 'Light Yellowfin Tuna in water' Low sodium no HVP, I also found Natural Sea tuna at my local health food store that is also just tuna and water and in addition Starkist makes a soy free tuna, although I can't always find it, that is just tuna and water also.

I can't do soybean oil either, it doesn't seem to affect me as much, but it still makes me feel kind of yuck... I've had to give up Chipotle because of it.

I seem to tolerate the lecithin pretty well, too. Seems like I remember even reading something about why people can tolerate soy lecithin when they cannot tolerate soy products, but I can't remember where or why. I'll have to see if I can find it one of these days.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      If black seed oil is working for his Afib, stick to it, but if not, I can say that ablation therapy is no big deal--my mother was out of the procedure in about 1 hour and went home that evening, and had zero negative effects from the treatment.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but...

PS - I would recommend that your husband get an Apple watch to monitor his Afib--there is an app and it will take readings 24/7 and give reports on how much of the time he's in it. Actual data like this should be what should guide his treatment.

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
