Sensitive To Pig Products?


SoyBoy

Recommended Posts

SoyBoy Rookie

I am soy intolerant, and have managed to avoid (GI) symptoms for the past 6 months or so with the exception of two occasions. On both occasions, I have had completely safe foods for me. the only common link is that on both occasions, I had eaten pig products (pork tenderloin and bacon). If the pigs were fed soy slop, is it possible for one to have a reaction to the animal's meat? Has anyone had experience with this?

Was the tenderloin a fresh one or preseasoned one?

Fresh from the butcher.

My mom can't eat pig, she sometimes has bacon but regrets it after. Maybe you just don't tolerate it well?

I WAS allergic to pork for years prior to going gluten free. Strangely, a couple months ago I ate some regular pepperoni by mistake and I didn't have a reaction. So I think my pork allergy went away with a gluten free diet somehow. I'm a little scared to try to eat more though. My reaction used to be the type where my throat closed up. Another person I know that is gluten free and was allergic to pork but got over it was the woman that does the crockpot blog here: Open Original Shared Link

I am also sensitive to soy and I have noticed when looking at turkey bacon that many brands have soy added to them. So is it possible that the bacon you ate had soy in it for flavoring? I'm not sure how pork chops are processed or if they add things to them...

Yes, I have problems with pork too.

Here's why I think what an animal ate can cause problems.

Guys were out hunting pheasants. I cooked the pheasants very carefully avoiding anything with soy because one of our friends is allergic to soy. He eats and has to use his epi-pen. We reviewed the cooking ingredients. Nothing. Turns out they shot the bird when he flew out of a soy bean field that was ready to pick.

I'm not disputing that people can react to what an animal eats. But in your example it sounds like the bird's feathers were contaminated by touching the soybeans and when the bird was cleaned and dressed the meat was further contaminated. That really sucks for your friend.

Excellent point you bring up Roda. An animal that has touched a allergen could contaminate a person if not properly handled during processing.

      Lactic acid bacteria start to develop as soon as flour and water are mixed, so I assumed that in a yeast dough with long proofing time there could be some effect of fermentation and gluten break down.

      I am COMPLETELY new to this celiac disease however I have had the same feelings and then some with my feet for years now and been diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy myself but they blamed and attempted to treat due from my type 1 diabetes and none of the treatment has helped at all so far so possible from celiac disease? Just sharing MY thoughts on this I've had zero confirmation

      I've not heard of the DNA test I will definitely look into that. And I did not know that the neuropathy was symptoms of vitamin deficiency. I have been trying to get on a good vitamin regimen. Thank you!

      My GI Doctor took blood work and said my Iron levels were actually high. But they took my blood a couple weeks after my infusion so I'm thinking that's why they were showing so high, but they knew I had the infusions. The infusions did help greatly but I am also on an Iron pill that I can instantly notice if I have not taken it for a few days.  Yes, I have read up on that! Thank you so much! I sure that will be fun! Hahaha

      @shadycharacter, did you mean to reply to another post about sourdough bread? The present thread isn't about that.
