Question About Soy Allergy

I am allergic to soy, but if I consume soybean oil I do OK and don't have symptoms. Do I need to be worried about damaging the villi in my intestines if I don't have symptoms or become ill from the soybean oil. I do, however, get extremely sick from any of the other types of soy. Can anyone tell me should I be consuming the soybean oil?

It could be that the substance that causes the reactions is not present in the oil, but if you are concerned at all why not just change to a different oil, like olive or coconut or something?

As far as I know, you do not need to be concerned about soy ruining the villi of your intestines. Are you sure you're allergic to soy or just intolerant? Many celiacs are intolerant until their intestines heal.

But if you don't feel good eating soy, don't do it! Look for options. But soy does not contain the gluten protein that celiacs tend to have a negative reaction to.

Many who are intolerant of gluten also have problems with other grains and starches - corn and soy intolerances are very common (so also is dairy although the reaction to that is to the lactose). The oil contains no starch so that may be why you don't react to it.

Why not try cutting grains and starches in general for a while, and dairy too if you think you may be intolerant of that, and see whether it makes any difference? You can get plenty of mono-saccharide carbs from fresh fruit and veggies - after all there are a number of communities out there who manage to exist quite happily, and healthily, without any processed carbs!

      Salads the safe bet? Chick Fil A grilled chicken

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      It appears when ging out with friends to a restaurant that doesn't have Gluten free menu salads appear the safest bet worst case scenario. I also read CHick Fil a Grilled chicken is gluten free and you can ask for a gluten-free bun.

      What would a diagnosis tell me?

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      Thanks so the blood test will tell if I need to take endoscopy to check damage done? The villi grows back over time. I am on elimination diet and don't feel like eating gluten for 6 weeks to take the blood test since I have vacations planned with my family and would love to feel good for the summer then after I will go for it. Eating 10g of gluten for 6 weeks I know I will have the running to bathroom moments again and cant probably deal with it easier during that time frame. I didn't realize cross contamination and have been really watching. Since I wnet for physical my blood was fine as far as vitamins etc. So I think I don't have malabsorption of nutrients vitamins.  I have been taking a protein shake from Revive for years to increase protein, fiber vitamins nutrient intake so I feel that has been helping. Thanks for the insight. Do you feel different when taking gluten-free cross contaminated? I have read about some items claim gluten free but may bother you when out at restaurants especially so I am trying to see if I encounter a cross contamination or a gluten product that said gluten-free. Thanks

      Elimination diet think I may be Gluten tolerant next steps to get tested? Questions

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      Thanks I figured that much as a dietician won't be of much help. Since summer is coming and in 6-8 weeks I will be on vacation with my family I think I will maintain my gluten free diet and not get tested yet as it appears eliminating glute is helping me and for a test to say your right isn't going to hep me much. Does eating gluten vs. cross contamination do you feel any different? Reason I ask is to see if I ate something cross contaminated or that had gluten. I have been using FODMAP to track everything I eat which is an excellent app tracks your feeling, bowel movements etc. I remember I could go out and eat french toast without any issues then somedays eat regular oatmeal and maybe right after go to the bathroom or 2hrs later need to go. Since elimination gluten from oatmeal much better. however in 3 weeks that I eliminated gluten I had 2 instances of diarrhea and unsure if contributed to increase in fiber intake. I am also lactose but have eliminated dairy for yeas as well.

      @Jane07, welcome to the forum! Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Malabsorption of essential nutrients is common in Celiac Disease.  Supplementing with vitamins and minerals that are commonly low in the newly diagnosed can help immensely with recovery.   Vitamin D is frequently low.  Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system and calm it down.  The eight essential B vitamins help repair and maintain our body's health.  Magnesium, calcium, zinc and other minerals are necessary, too.  Vitamin C helps, as well.  Benfotiamine, A form of Thiamine, has been shown to promote intestinal healing. Are you still consuming dairy?  Eliminating dairy may bring some improvements.  Have you tried the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet?  Developed by a Celiac, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, the AIP diet can improve symptoms while healing.
