I'm Also Allergic To Corn And Soy...help!

I've pretty much gotten corn, soy, tomatoes (also allergic to blah) and gluten out of my diet...But cosmetics and body lotions and washes and all that is almost harder. I have NO idea what to use. I thought I would check here and see if anyone could help before I start calling companies like crazy. I'm just afraid I will find nothing!! The problem is the soy and gluten combination is hard. And I a skin rash (kp I beleive) all over my arms, upper back and legs that will not go away.

Also, finding vitamins is a pain as well. Something without corn, soy, and gluten is always more expensive. Especially at GNC which is the only place I know that labels when it's not in it. Does anyone know any other place that makes finding vitamins a little easier?

Thanks :)

Would you mind sharing some of the food products that you consume? I have the same allergies that you have (plus a whole load of others, like eggs, dairy, certain animal proteins etc etc), and I have the hardest time finding products like milks, cereals, and things of the sort. I'd love to compare notes!

I hope I can help with the vitamins. I was told my nutritionist who also has celiac disease that NatureMade vitamins are gluten-free, and I even called and confirmed.

Also, I believe Dove is supposed to be gluten-free. You might want to check.

Good luck!

yeah. I have been ordering from the online gluten free store, but I also go to a lot of stores like trader joes and whole foods to find the same foods. I like to eat fruit bars. There's the George Delights fruit bars, and they have some at target. They are usually just fruit. And there's dried fruits. My favorites are the Sensible Snacks. I put a lot of fruit stuff like that in my purse so I always have a snack with me incase i'm with someone that wants to eat and I can't eat a lot or I get hungry. If I don't have it with me to eat I may get so hungry I eat something I know I shouldn't have.

I also like the Enjoy Life brand cookies and stuff. It's expensive, but I don't have a kitchen (I kind of share one but can't use it much) and that way I can have cookies. They keep away from the 8 main allergies including dairy and egg.

For actual meals I've pretty much been eating a lot of rice. I'll add steamed veggies and plain meat to it.

I eat A LOT of fruit. And I try to get a lot of veggies. I make sure that the fridge is filled with them.

The cereal I've started eating is Perky's Nutty Flax Gluten-Free Cereal. At first I thought it was terrible but I now actually like it.

I assume you use rice milk?? I eat SO MUCH rice. I used to eat rice milk and may go back because I think I might have a dairy problem. Rice cakes, actual rice, rice milk...lots of rice. I also like potatoes but try to not eat them so much because I eat so much rice already and it makes me really thirsty and I can't combine the two.

Sorry this is so randomly written and long. Do you cook? Do you have any recipes you like?

Here's a link to a mainstream grocery shopping guide - they have a couple different ones, this one is Gluten-Casein-Soy Free.

Open Original Shared Link

I have the gluten-free one, don't know how I ever got along without it.

For skin/hair products etc., you might search this forum for the word Neutrogena. I recently saw a posting of a huge list of their stuff that is gluten-free. You could always call or email them as well. There's more safe stuff out there than you realize, so don't panic.

I've found it hard to find something that also doesn't have soy. Everyone seems to be putting soy in everything, even beauty products. What a pain.

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      Issues before diagnosis

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac...

      Celiac Disease Patients Face Higher Risk of Systemic Lupus

      What kind of practitioner did the blood test? Was this a medical doctor, a naturopathic doctor, a GI doc? I would certainly follow up with them and ask why they advised you not to eat red meat. I mean, it could be something like they, themselves, are a vegetarian and give that advice to everyone. Have you had an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel...

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees. People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits. Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease. Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of...

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      I found out the age of 68 that I am a celiac. When I was 16, I had my gallbladder removed when I was 24 I was put on a medication because I was told I had fibromyalgia.   going to Doctor’s over many years, not one of them thought to check me out for celiac disease. I am aware that it only started being tested by bloodwork I believe in the late 90s, but still I’m kind of confused why my gallbladder my joint pain flatulent that I complained of constantly was totally ignored. Is it not something that is taught to our medical system? It wasn’t a Doctor Who asked for the test to be done. I asked for it because of something I had read and my test came back positive. My number was quite high.Are there other people out here that had this kind of problems and they were ignored?

      Welcome to celiac.com, @EndlessSummer! Do you react to all vegetables or just specific kinds or families of them? What you describe with green beans sounds like it has an anaphylaxis component. Like you, walnuts are a problem for me. They will often give me a scratchy throat so I try to avoid them. Does it matter if the vegies are raw or will-cooked in how you react to them?
