A Question About Soy ~

I recently found out I am allergic to soy and just had a reaction from chicken that was fed a soy based diet. If I buy chicken that was fed a "vegetarian diet" does that exclude soy???

Well, soy comes from the soybean which is technically a vegetable so you'd have to confirm what kind of vegetables these chickens are being fed.

Vegetarians eat soy beans :)

So Grass-Fed meats would be safe then, right?

When it comes to beef, that's all I will eat :o Grass-fed organic is the purest, safest you can get. I have problems with corn as well as soy and try my best to avoid corn-fed anything too.

The chicken I ate was from Trader Joe's and I didn't read the back of the package until after I realized I was having a reaction and saw their chickens were fed corn and soy. I'm not sure if I have an allergy to corn. I'm hoping that Whole Food's chicken is soy free. If not, I don't know where I'm going to find some. Hopefully my "vegetarian fed" Organic Valley eggs are soy free, I'm gonna have to give them a call tomorrow.

      I wonder how many doctors are aware of this site and would or should recommend it to their patients?

      I just got my test results after a less than 2-week gluten challenge consuming about 5 g of gluten per day on average.  Anti tTG-IgA: <0.2 AU/ml (<8 is negative) IgA: 180 mg/dl (Reference range is 70-400) I previously had been on a gluten-free diet for around 3 years or so, with occasional cheating and not being strict about cross-contamination. I am however still suffering from the effects of the gluten challenge (food sensitivities, slight brain fog, weird stool, fatigue, swollen thyroid, bodyaches). Is this likely to be NCGS rather than celiac disease given the test results and my history? Note: I have one copy of HLA-DQ8.

      How long have you been strictly gluten free? Certainly, it would be good to look into vitamin and mineral deficiencies and supplementation. The B vitamins, magnesium and D3 are all very important to neurological health. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to reverse gluten-induced neurological damage damage if it has gone on for a long time.

      Thanks Trents I'm strict with my gluten-free diet now. I just don't feel any better. I'm going to get tested for vitamins and minerals to see if I need some supplements. For sure I got some damage that doctors call Menier's and the only way they treat it is with medicine that does damage my body more than it helps.

      Thank you Scott for your helpful response! Based on this, would you say someone who is on a gluten-free diet - but not strict about cross-contamination and occasional cheating - and tests negative for tTg-IgA while having normal total IgA is not likely to have celiac, even if they have been 'gluten-free' for years?
