I'm Giving Up Soy!

So, last week I had two pain free days!!! It was amazing to finally feel human! I stopped to think WHAT did I do differently??! All I could come up with is I didn't use my lip balm (Burts Bees) and a different eye pencil those days. My food had not changed. I stopped using both and I've had some good days. The balm has soy in it and some products I was eating (not often) included soy. I stopped all soy and my bloating is better everyday. The bloat got better after giving up corn, but not totally gone.

I'm kinda sad to see this go as well, but I am so happy to be free of pain! I have been in some type of pain everyday for 18 months, I feel like I have finally figured it all out!...for now ;)

Ladies that are soy free, any suggestions on replacing my lip balm and glosses. My new pretty pink lipgloss has vitamin E derived from soy. Thanks!

Check out Gluten Free Savonnerie's stuff. I got their shampoo, conditioner, hand soap, bar soap, lotion and lip balm. It's corn free, soy free, gluten free, dairy free.....among others. I will warn you that the lip balm is very bland and I don't quite care for the "taste" but I prefer it to being sick!

Welcome to the soy free club. Really, it's for the best. Soy is baaaaaad for you. :) And in my opinion way easier to cut out than corn. >rolls eyes<

By the way, mayonnaise is way easy to make with a blender (I couldn't find a mayo without soy in it) and I honestly can't think of anything else that I "miss" that has soy.

Yeah I soon realised my favourite lip balm from MAC has soy and traces of gluten in it and it was making me so ill! Within hours, I thought it was kinda a myth about make up and stuff but obviously not!

Are you okay? This sounds like an allergic reaction. Have you taken any Benedryl or called the doctor??? Let us know what happens.

There is stock and stock cubes out there that are gluten and soy free. Pacific Brands is one brand. Or you can make your own and freeze it (you can make it strong and put it in the ice cube tray) :D

      Trying to read my lab results

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep...

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      Why?

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      Why?

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific?

      Why?

      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.
