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.

      Blood tests low iGA 4 years later digestive issues

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Mmoc! Please include the reference ranges for the IGA and the TTG tests in your next post if you have access to them. We cannot comment much otherwise as different labs use different reference ranges for these tests and also different units of measurement. There are no universal standards as of yet so the raw test numbers are not always helpful. Having said that, if your IGA (what we usually call "total IGA") is low, the TTG-IGA score will be skewed and cannot be trusted. Other kinds of tests for celiac disease would need to be run, particularly those in the IGG family of tests. Perhaps this will be helpful:

      Blood tests low iGA 4 years later digestive issues

      By Mmoc · Posted

      Hi there any advice welcomed. I have had 4 years of symptoms ranging from immune related anaphylactic symptom sudden onset food allergy to peppers/paprika/chilli/capsicum family derivatives. all these allergies fizzled out and following a food challenge test in hospital I reintroduced them a few months ago. Since then my digestive system is a mess. i have since noticed that 4 years ago when testing for iga allergies my iga level was .62 and my ttg was less than .1 (due to symptoms I was probably eating very plainly at that time). should I insist on being retested for celiac? I’ve since read two indicators for celiac include: sensitive to spicy foods when in flare up tooth enamel weakness and symmetrical discolouration patches on teeth which I have had since childhood on my two front teeth     thanks

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      This article does not address migraines at all.  Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.
