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.

      The discovery of the vitamin D receptor in multiple immune cell lineages, such as monocytes, dendritic cells, and activated T cells credits vitamin D with a novel role in modulating immunological functions and its subsequent role in the development or prevention of autoimmune diseases.  The Implication of Vitamin D and Autoimmunity: a Comprehensive Review

      Definitely get vitamin D 25(OH)D.  Celiac Disease causes vitamin D deficiency and one of the functions of vitamin D is modulating the genes.  While we can survive with low vitamin D as an adaptation to living in a seasonal environment, the homeostasis is 200 nmol/L.  Vitamin D Receptors are found in nearly every cell with a nucleus,while the highest concentrations are in tissues like the intestine, kidney, parathyroid, and bone.  A cellular communication system, if you will. The vitamin D receptor: contemporary genomic approaches reveal new basic and translational insights  Possible Root Causes of Histamine Intolerance. "Low levels of certain nutrients like copper, Vitamins A, B6, and C can lead to histamine build up along with excess or deficient levels of iron. Iodine also plays a crucial role in histamine regulation."

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.
