Does Having Other Food Allergies Do Damage Also?

Since I'm new to this I have a question..... I have taken gluten completely out of my diet and I feel 90% better, but sometimes I get major D after I've eaten something that I know doesn't contain gluten so I'm thinking maybe I have an allergy to soy/soy lecithin. If I continue to eat those foods containing soy & I do have an allergy to it, will it still do damage to my intestines like if I'm eating gluten?

I can deal with a little upset stomach, but I don't won't to continue to do damage if that's what it is doing.

soy would be an allergy to soy not an autoimmune disease as celiac.

... soy is one of the major allergrens...but it will not blunt your villi to my knowledge.

But casein (dairy) is also digested at the tips of the villi.. You may want to test for dairy intolerance

Also since you are new to the gluten-free diet please understand that healing doesn't happen overnight. It can take two years to completely heal the damaged villi.even longer for some , less time for others

As you become more awear of your body or what it is telling you , you may find other things that do not agree with you besides gluten... for instance some people have trouble with nightshade veggies, corn products....

as the body heals itself you may have ups & downs where you feel great today & the next day is a total train wreck. hth

If you read this article (it is in PDF format and would not let me excerpt) : Open Original Shared Link, it states that soy protein as well as cow's milk protein can cause villous blunting.

Eosinophilic disorders of the gastro. track are also caused by food "triggers". It is the person's own immune system attacking normal tissue.

It is currently having an explosion of diagnoses in children and adults.

My daughter's diagnoses is Eosinophilic Esophagitus (she was diagnosed probable celiac 4 years before). Her esophagus was covered in cream pus like speckles, furrowed (deep grooves of damage in the inflamed tissue), ringed with strictures, and in some areas almost swollen shut.

Yes. Having other food "allergies" causes damage. She tested negative to everything she was allergy tested for. We have found she can not have eggs, fish, shellfish, and peas. She has been gluten free since she was 17 months old too.

      Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      There is a 10 year old post in this forum on Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream. The information is somewhat outdated and the thread is closed to further comment, so here is a new one. Edy's And Dreyer's Grand Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - 1.5 Quart is labeled "Gluten Free". This is a different answer than years gone by. I don't know the answer for any other flavor at this moment. On 1 May, 2026, Edy's website says: "As a general rule, the gluten in Edy's and Dreyer's® frozen dessert products is present only in the added bakery products, such as cookies, cake or brownies. We always label the eight major food allergens on our package by their common name. We recommend to always check the label for the most current information before purchasing and/or consuming a product. The exception to this rule is our Slow Churned French Silk frozen dairy dessert, which contains gluten in the natural flavors." https://www.icecream.com/us/en/brands/edys-and-dreyers/faq It seems that Edy's and Dreyer's are more celiac-friendly than they were 10 years ago. Once I found enough information to make today's buying decision, I stopped researching.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes and goes randomly as before again.
