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.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
