My mother recently discovered she is also intolerant to soy. I am doing an elimination diet and am quite sure I am intolerant to it as well. I think my issues with milk is because my intestines are just too damaged. I plan to try to add it back in towards the end of my diet. I'm on halt right now due to having to take antibiotics. I have a nasty bronchial infection.

I am doing well on it. If you want to read about my experience with it so far, it's in the other intolerances and leaky gut issues area.

I have to take a vitamin D/Calcium supplement...also a multivitamin that is free from allergens. I also am taking a pro/prebiotic and an enzyme to help replace the good bacteria in my intestines.

What do you do now? I would suggest an elimination diet as I am doing. You can easily find out what is bothering you. Long process, but well worth it. I'm sure other's on here can give you some really good advice. I just wanted to share my two cents.

to replace soy milk in your cereal you could do almond, hazelnut, hemp, or coconut milk. Some brands have added the calcium and vitamin but I also take a vitamin supplement. Pacific is a good brand. Once I eliminated the soy, I rarely have stomach issues now. So maybe you've found a new answer as well. :)

If you are newly gluten free, sometimes both dairy and soy will bother you until your intestines have had time to heal.

IMO soy barely even counts as food. I don't personally believe its good for anyone, especially not celiacs or gluten intolerant people. I stay far away from all soy. It's bad news.

I had always been leary of soy, and now I think of it as mouse poison, reserving rat poison for gluten.

Soy may be deeply ingrained in our food supply but we really should not be eating so much of it and especially not unfermented. Soy is meant to be eaten fermented, or if non-fermented, in very moderate amounts. You may have to look into supplements if you can't get enough calcium from your diet. I don't feel sick after eating soy but I avoid it anyway - had an "enlarged" neck (doctors have told me goiter, enlarged thyroid) until I cut out soy. Would not touch that stuff unless it is fermented properly.

these were great responses,,thanks,,i started soy milk a month or so ago and it ripped my belly up,,i surely had leaky guy,i was worried something was wrong with me until i decided to have a lil bowl of cereal with soy to relax my gut and b4 i finished i felt nauseous and ended up in the bathroom the rest of the night,,i poured out a 4.29 cent carton of it!!..sad thing is that was over a week ago and last night i suddenly felt the same way so now not sure what the heck i am doing wrong.i drive myself nuts trying to read every label and having more veggies than anything i think is not helping me,,to much fiber all the time perhaps,i dunno,im getting discusted with the entire bathroom thing! i dont want to eat at all anymore,so many crappy things in our food and the good food is to much on me perhaps until i heal,, i thought i was healed,,,i had like a week of feeling great,and then pow!!!

I can't have soy or dairy. I add green leafy vegetables to my food whenever I can. Plenty of calcium in there! I also take supplements.

Hello,

I had the same thing happen. I went gluten free, but still having Dairy because of being new to the diet and feeling like there was nothing left I could eat, I'm half Italian...I LOVE my pastas and all CHEESES :D

I had to find something to put on my gluten-free cereal in the morning, so I tried Silk in the vanilla flavor. I never used it before, but I noticed I would get these bad stomach aches, figured out Soy was not agreeing with me either....at all! It was bad. I guess it did more damage than good.

Just last week I bought the So Delicious brand Coconut Milk in Vanilla, I LOVE it, plus the health benefits from Coconut alone are so worth it to me!! When I read an article on Whole Foods website. Open Original Shared Link

I know I have to find non-dairy alternatives to heal up. The article was loaded with ideas and consumer reviews on the brands/flavors that they love.

I've had the enterolab test done and that's it so far, but I'm pretty sure I have leaky gut.

I have all the symptoms and not sure where to go from here...(insurance).

I agree that soy is no good for us. Not even remotely ok for me anyway. Hemp milk or coconut milk would be worth checking out. The ones I have seen so far are soy free.

I've been lactose intolerant for years, but I still need to drink the odd vitamin enhanced shake. Milk shakes tend to overwhelm me and make me ill. Lactaid pills or no Lactaid pills, I have to take like 4 just to be able to manage one so I finally did the supposedly healthy thing last year and switched to a soy based shake.

One day of soy based, milk-free shakes and I was in utter agony. Turns out I react to major doses of soy in a big, bad, way. I've had that reaction to MSG and to Asian food several times in the past, always chalked it up to food poisoning.

I try not to eat soy at all, but it's been almost impossible to eliminate it completely. It's in everything these days practically, but yes, you can react to soy the very same way you do to gluten.

I use Lactaid cow's milk and/or almond milk now for my shakes. More almond than cow at this point, actually. I usually save my cow's milk for cheese!

      Newly diagnosed, struggling

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Hello @CeliacNew, If you are Vegan to help you feel better, reconsider returning to omnivore.  Actually, since you are already on a very restrictive diet, transitioning to gluten free might be easier for you.  Read the ingredient labels, Particularly vitamin D and Choline require supplements for vegan diet because our primary source is sun, eggs and beef.  B12 also.

      Multiple symptoms and mixed provider responses

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Once you've completed testing and still don't have improvement, start a trial gluten free diet.  Looking for imprvement that may indicate Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, which is 10 times more prevalent than Celiac Disease. Deficiencies in vitamins B6, B12, D, and C can manifest as skin rashes.  Virtual guaranty you are deficient in vitamin D.

      Help vetting HLA-DQ typing provider

      By cameo674 · Posted

      So those rs numbers tell researchers where the dbSNP is located in a Genome so that other reasearchers or an AI system can look in that specific spot for that Snip of information.  You can look those rs # s by pasting the numbers after rs into the lookup on this page https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/snp/ right under the Blue header bar at the top of the webpage.  Since you are not a researcher, I do not know how this will help you though.

      Finally got in to doctor to get my referral and I lucked out and got into Gastro the same day - question about different transglutaminase results

      By cameo674 · Posted

      So I posted here once before, and everyone advocated that I get into a GI doc.  I finally got into my functional health appointment on 6/16 to get my blood results evaluated and get the Gastro referral. I was told that I would be fortunate to see a gastro doctor by December, because of the number of people waiting to get in, but they did believe that I needed to see a GI doc among others.  Well, the stars aligned. I got home. I looked at MyChart and it showed an appointment available for later that same day. I never clicked so fast on an appointment time. The gastro doc ran some additional blood work based off the December values that had confirmed my daughter's suspicion that I have undiagnosed stomach issues.  Gastro has also scheduled me to get an upper endoscopy as well as a colonoscopy since it has been 8 years since my last one. She said it would rule out other concerns if I did not show Celiac per the biopsies.  Those biopsies will not occur until August 29th and like everyone here stated, Gastro wants me to keep gluten in my diet exactly as everyone suggested. To be honest, I was barely eating any gluten since I figured I would have plenty of time to do so before testing.  Doc is also looking for the cause of the low level heartburn that I have had for 30 years.  I have mentioned the heartburn to PCPs in the past and they always said take a tums or other OTC drug.  The upper endoscopy is for ruling out eosinphilic esophagitis, h. pylori, and to biopsy the duodenal bulb and second portion to confirm or exclude celiac. The colonoscopy will have random biopsies to rule out microscopic colitis. I didn't really catch her reasoning for the bloodwork.  Doc looked at the December numbers and said they were definitely concerning for Celiac.  She also said, “Hmm that’s odd; usually it’s the reverse”, but I did not catch which result made her say that. She seems very through.  She also asked why I had never bothered to see a GI before.  To be honest, I told her I just assumed that the heartburn and loose stool were a part of aging.  I have been gassy since I was born and thought constantly passing gas was normal?  Everyone I know with Celiac have horrible symptoms that cannot be attributed to other things.  They are in a lot of stomach pain.  I do not go through that.  I attribute my issues to the lactose intolerance that comes with aging, but have slowly been eliminating foods from my diet due to the heartburn or due my assumption that they did not agree with a medication that I was prescribed. I have already eliminated milk products especially high fat ones like ice cream; fats like peanut butter; acids like citrus and tomatoes; chocolate in all forms; and breads more because it is so hard to get in 100 grams of protein if I eat any foods that are not a protein.  I would not have even done the testing if my daughter had not brought up the fact that she thought I might have an undiagnosed condition since she has issues with bloating and another sibling has periodic undiagnosed stomach pain that GI docs throw pills at instead of helping.  Who knew that Bristol scale 5 and 6 were not considered normal especially multiple times a day? I watched my MIL go through basically the same bowel changes starting at 50 so to be honest, I really did think it was normal before this week's appointment.   December 2024's blood tests ran through Quest Labs were:  Deamidated Gliadin (IgA) 53.8 U/mL Above range >15.0 U/mL; Deamidated Gliadin (IgG) >250.0 U/mL Above Range >15.0 U/mL; Tissue Transglutaminase (IgA) 44.0 U/mL Above range >15.0 U/mL; Tissue Transglutaminase (IgG) <1.0 In range <15.0; Immunoglobulin A (IgA) 274 mg/dL In range 47-310 mg/dL 6/16/25 bloodwork:  Until today, I did not really know what all the four tubes of blood were for and since I did not understand the results, I got into the clinical notes to see what was ordered, but it did not exactly explain why for everything. Immunoglobulins IGG, IGA, IGM all came back in range:  IGG 1,010 mg/dL In range 600-1,714; IgA 261 mg/dL In range 66-433 mg/dL; IGM 189 mg/dL In range 45-281.  How do these numbers help with diagnosis? Google says she checked these to see if I have an ongoing infection? I do have Hashimoto's and she did say once you have one autoimmune disease others seem to follow. Celiac Associated HLD-DQ Typing: DQA1* Value: 05; DQA1*DQA11 Value: 05; DQB1* Value: 02; DQB1-DQB11 Value: 02; Celiac Gene Pairs Present Value: Yes; Celiac HLA Interpretation Value: These genes are permissive for celiac disease.  However, these genes can also be present in the normal population. Testing performed by SSOP.  So google failed me.  I think these results basically say I have genes, but everybody has these genes so this test was just to confirm that there is a vague possibility?  Maybe this test result explains why I do not have the horrible symptoms most individuals with celiac have?  I told the GI my assumption is that I am just gluten intolerant since I do not have the pain? So maybe this test explains why I have antibodies? Comprehensive Metabolic Panel: Everything was in the middle of the normal range.  Google says this just says I am metabolically healthy. Tissue Transglutaminase ABS test results – Done by the Mayo Clinic’s Labs –  T-Transglutaminase IGA AB --Value: 3.1 U/mL – Normal Value is <4.0 (negative) U/mL; Tissue Transglutaminase, IgG -- Value: 15.3 U/mL High -- Normal Value is <6.0 (Negative) U/mL – Interpretation Positive (>9.0) – These are the only labs the GI did that have been labeled Abnormal.  I am confused at how/why these came back different than the December labs? Because these numbers seem to be the opposite of what the were in December and I know I have eaten less gluten.  They were definitely measured differently and had different ranges. This must be why she said they are usually opposite? Molecular Stool Parasite Panel said I was Negative for Giardia Lamblia by PCR; Entamoeba Histolytica by PCR and Cryptosporidium Parvum/Hominis by PCR.  So at least I do not need to do a parasite cleanse like everyone on TikTok seems to be doing. So I guess, I am just really asking why the Tissue Transglutaminase numbers are different.  Was it because they were truly different tests? Is it because I have not consumed the crazy amount of gluten one is suppose to eat prior to testing? To be honest, I thought that was only for the biopsy testing. I generally only eat twice a day, and the thought of eating the equivalent of 6 slices of bread is daunting. Even in my youth, I probably only consumed the equivalent of maybe 3 slices a day. Like I said before, now I usually focus on trying to eat 60 gram of protein.  I am suppose to consume 100 grams, but have failed to succeed. I will focus on eating gluten starting in July now that I know my procedure date.

      Worried about being isolated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents and wiping down the spot you eat your lunch, and eating the food your brought from home should be safe for even sensitive celiacs. Gluten can jump on your food, so it would likely better better for you to continue eating where you prefer.
