About Soy Bi-products

Who can give me the "skinny" about Soy bi-products as ingredients in the foods that I buy.

I just bought a bag of Mi-Del Gluten-Free Ginger Snaps from the Puplix Market. But I see by looking at the label that it's made with ( get this...) soy flour...?! Does that make sence...? or what is it that I will need to know about soy bi-products as ingredients in the things that I buy.

I also like to buy Ensure Plus lactose free with 350 calories to keep my weight up ( it works good for me...) but it has Soy Protein. There is also a Publix Brand generic product like Ensure that I use, and it has both Soy Protein Isolate ( what ever that is...) and soy lecithin.

I also see Soy Oil in a candy bar that I had today.

What do I need to know in order to stay out of trouble with soy bi-products in the ingredients of the stuff that I buy, and what's up with the Mi-Del "Gluten-Free" Ginger Snaps...???

Please...???

Anybody...

You will find a soy by product in many, many foods. I had rice milk with my cereal this morning and found soy letchin (sp) in that. Had it anyway and had terrible indigestion and gas. I had a Mi-del animal cookie last night and it has the same ingredient in it and, once again, I suffered. It's just very hard to find foods without it!

If you have a soy allergy then you must read every label carefully. If you don't, well then you can eat soy all you want. It's not linked to gluten if that was your question, however many Celiacs have additional food sensitivities and soy, corn, and dairy are among the most common.

Yes, Terri is correct. I love the Mi-Del cookies... all flavors. Soy has no connection to gluten. IF you were sick by the cookies, then you need to question your ability to eat soy. Soy is actually good for you ~ that is why it is added to so many different products. Soy is suppose to be helpful to menopausal women, etc.

I actually seek out soy to add to my diet. Love the Silk Soy milk vs. reg. milk.

Hope that helps!!

Ummm...

I was under the impression ( of mis-impression ) that Soy has gluten.

I will need to double check that.

Can anybody add to this.

Soy is fine for us...sensitivity to soy has nothing to do with celiac.

Soy flour and soy protein are fine.

I love mi-del ginger snaps...they are fine :D I just bought some today as well.

I also love Silk soymilk...that stuff tastes like the real thing...plus soy helps slow down your thyroid which I( having graves disease-a form of hyperthyroid) it does well for me

Maso, the only grains that celiacs need to avoid, due to celiac disease, is wheat, barley, rye, and oats. Soy, among other alternatives, is fine.

SOY is POISIN!

This is a link to a thread about soy being bad. A few people posting their views also. It is pro and con. To be better educated PLEASE read this...

Open Original Shared Link

I'm stuck on SOY today and everyday since I got the correct infromation. -- What I mean by SOY IS POISON for those of us with a thyroid problem or woman who have a hormone imbalance, menopause (sp) or babies, compromised immune systems. SOY is in everything, I know. I spent all day one day last week with Walmart food allergy phone lines to find out VEGGIE BROTH in tuna fish packs are SOY. Also beware -- ARTIFICALLY FLAVORING is also a name to hide soy and many other things.

But keep in mind also the SOY food group family is also LEGUMES, pea, beans and many other foods, you must concern yourself with it. SOY has become a problem for many of us here.

I wish someone took the time when I first came down with celiac disease 5 or 6 years ago and told me the true FACTS about SOY. I lived on SOY! Yes, I went on a gluten free dairy free diet. BUT that wasn't enough. SOY is what cause my thyroid problem. It does all sorts of things to the thyroid, mine was hyper and speeded everything up. Some will fight this issue (they are in denial) so be it, but I listen to my body and others that feel the same illnesses as I do, and I know what lead us to become sick after the fact.

Ursula --- one of the other members is also a believer how bad soy is.

I would like to ad an after thought...

If you still don't believe the info about soy being bad. Please read

LIVING WELL WITH AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE and another great book is AUTOIMMUNE CONNECTION.

Both books have lots of wonderful information about celiac disease and both clearly state how BAD SOY is for those of us with celiac disease.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      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.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
