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.

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease...

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease does damage to the small bowel lining it often results in nutritional deficiencies such as anemia. NCGS does not damage the small bowel lining so your history of anemia may suggest you have celiac disease as opposed to NCGS. But either way, a gluten-free diet is in order. NCGS can cause bodily damage in other ways, particularly to neurological systems.
