For Those Of You With Soy Allergy...

does soy lecithin and soybean oil bother you? I was pretty sure I had read somewhere that soybean oil and lecithin are NOT suppose to bother people with soy allergy, but I am sure both bothers me. Maybe I am wrong, and that soybean oil is also bad?

Thanks!

Soybean oil absolutely makes me dizzy within 10 minutes of ingestion. I do not have an allergy to soy, just intolerant because of the gluten/casein/soy connection.

I can now handle the soy lecithin (in chocolate - maybe that's why :P ) but not the soy bean oil.

huh, interesting. You know I think the thing I'v learned the most is: nothing is absolute. What works for one person doesn't always work with the next.

Lecithin doesn't bother me, I can tolerate the oil once in a while but not too many times in a row.

I can have the oil once in a while and not too much. I do my best to avoid it. I'm not sure if lecithin bothers me or not because I avoid it too. Chocolate gives me major heartburn and that's the only thing that I see soy lecithin in alone that I could try for an experiment.

Soy oil bothers me and I avoid it like the plague, but I refuse to give up chocolate...so I say that I can tolerate lecithin!

I don't know for sure, but that's my story for now.

HaHa!!!! You sound like me; wouldn't touch the oil but walk through fire for chocolate! :lol:

I absolutely avoid the oil. Just a few Tostitos will give me that stabbing pain. I will occasionally allow small amounts of the lecithin, usually only for the sake of convenience. I drank those Boost protein shakes every day when I first went gluten-free but had to drop them because of the soy lecithin.

As for chocolate... Enjoy Life make allergen free bars called Boom Choca Boom. They make milk and dark. The dark tastes more like real chocolate... the milk tastes like a really cheap hollow Easter bunny :(

Ghiradelli is also an option: the higher the cocoa percentage, the lower the amount of other ingredients. I stick to 80+%.

I don't get Boom Choca Boom here but I do eat Lindt 70% which has no soy lecithin. Never eat anything under 70% because those are the ones that require the emulsifiers. But even some of the higher cocoa percentages do have soy lecithin and I have been known to indulge. However, there was a hug box of chocolates passed around several times at our opening night of bridge for the year last night, and I resisted!! ( :( cosI didn't know about the gluten, mainly). Looking forward to trying Boom Choca Boom in June, and getting back to Ghiradelli which I used to eat long before gluten free :D

Mushroom, I love it when you like my jokes.

You laughed at My Grain Headaches :rolleyes:

That makes me happy cause like...um...I been in bed with this disease for 7 years and haven't made anybody smile, and I certainly wasn't smiling either. <_<

Thanks for making me smile.

And thanks everyone for the chocolate information!!!

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease.

      Gluten Issues and Vitamin D

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease. Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too. is this everyone’s experience? Can I drink it? I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant react...

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
