Take some Benedryl ASAP!!--the brand name is gluten-free. You don't want to mess around with a food allergy like that. If the benedryl does not relieve your symptoms within 20-30 minutes then get yourself to an ER right away!

Are you in the US? They have to declare soy as an allergen on food, however I have found some things like tuna packets that say "vegetable oil" or "vegetable broth" but do not declare soy. My soy reaction is more like migraines, fatigue and achiness, not an actual allergy, but I had a reaction to some tuna (this was over a year ago so I forget the brand). When I checked the package it didn't have soy listed but just said vegetable broth. I checked the company website and it said the vegetable broth was made with soybean oil. You also need to be leary of beauty products--especially lip balm or lipstick and lotions you put on your hands and could get near your mouth. In cosmetics they don't have to disclose it as soy but most of the time if it says tocopherols or vitamin E it is made with soy.

I have a similar reaction to milk. Do follow up with your dr and explain what happened. You may want to see if you can get allergy testing done or at least get an epipen in case your reaction gets worse.

I saw you asked in another thread about how will you season food without this type of thing. You should really think about having a small herb garden and learn to use fresh herbs for flavor. They would be the safest since you would grow them yourself and they are so much more flavorable than dried mixes. If you can't do that then you will want to stick with single ingredient dried herbs and spices from companies you can trust and mix up your own poultry seasonings, taco seasonings, etc. I'm sorry I can't reccomend any in your area but hopefully someone else can give you some brands that are gluten-free and soy free as well.

Here's a poultry seasoning that you could easily make: Open Original Shared Link

It's really easy! You can keep the herbs in little pots on your windowsill year round. I live in an apartment but I keep a small container garden on the patio in the summer and an herb garden in little pots I move inside to the windowsill when it gets cold. My most used herbs are chives, rosemary, cilantro, and dill.

I hope you are feeling better now!

Also watch out for soy lecithin. It is used as an emulsifier in everything from chocolate, to tea, to dairy alternative nut milks. Soy lecithin made me sick for quite a while because while I was looking for soy/soya I was overlooking the soy lecithin. :huh:

It's important to get an epipen like gfmanna suggested.

You never know when you'll unintentionally eat something with soy in it, and you should be prepared. Your reaction now can suddenly intensify into a life-threatening anaphylaxis episode.

Like you, my allergy only developed recently. My doctor gave me an epipen and an albuterol inhaler, even though so far I've only had the tightening of airways and eczema reactions to nuts. She warned that with allergic reactions, things can escalate quickly.

I have found that I have to be as careful about soy CC as I do gluten CC. I don't eat anything that is produced on shared equipment that has either.

      @catnapt, I'm sorry you're having such a rough time. How much wheat germ and how much gluten were you eating? Lectins in beans can be broken down by pressure cooking them. Do you pressure cook your beans? Were you pressure cooking your wheat germ? What drugs are you taking? Some immunosuppressive drugs affect IgA production. Do...

      oops my gluten challenge was only 12 days It started Jan 21s and ended Feb 1st worst 12 days of my life Does not help that I also started on a thiazide-like drug for rule in/out renal calcium leak at the exact same time No clue if that could have been symptoms worse 🤔

      so do you have celiac or not? 🤔 why are your vision issues undiagnosed? 😢 what does your ophthalmologist say?  do you have a serious vit A deficiency? what do you take for it? how long have you had celiac disease and how long did  it take to get a diagnosis?   if you are legally blind there are adaptive devices that will help you. I have vision difficulties as well but did not qualify (at least not yet)   do you have a vit A deficiency? why are you undiagnosed? what does your ophthalmologist say? I have a retinal specialist and he tells me my eye condition can not be fixed- until/unless it gets to the point of where surgery is safer since the surgery can leave me actually blind... so you want to wait til it gets really bad 🤪     I hope you find what works for you.    PS   the medication I started at the same time as the gluten challenge is obvious from the condition it's trying to treat. you can google it 😉 it is not an for any auto immune condition.

      during the gluten challenge I did not consume any wheat germ   the wheat germ is TOASTED - it's the only way it is sold now afiak doesn't matter I consume vast amounts of lectin containing foods PROPERLY prepared and have for well over a decade. They do not bother me in the least.    no anemia however the endo who ordered the celiac panel is the one who suggested the 2 week gluten challenge of eating at least 2 slices of bread per day or a serving of pasta- ALSO put me on a new drug at the same time (not a good idea)  I ate 4 slices because they were thin, or 2 English muffins, and just once some lasagna that someone else made since I stopped eating wheat pasta years ago. The English muffins caused some of the worst symptoms but that pc of lasagna almost killed me ( not literally but the pain was extreme) during those 12 days there were at least 3 times I considered going to Urgent Care.   This entire process was a waste of time TBH due to being on that new drug at the exact same time. it is impossible to tell if the drug I am taking for the possible renal calcium leak is working or not- given the dramatic response to the gluten challenge and resulting nausea (no vomiting) and eventually a loss of appetite and lower intake of foods so now I have a dangerously low potassium level   I don't have a simple case of celiac or no- I have an extremely complicated case with multiple variables I am seeing an endocrinologist for a problem with the calcium sensing glands - that system is very complicated and she has been unable to give me a firm diagnosis after many tests with confusing and often alarming results. She also appears to be inexperienced and unsure of herself. but I don't have the luxury of finding a new endo due to multiple issues of insurance, lack of drs in my area, money and transportation. so I'm stuck with her At least she hasn't given up    in any case I can assure you that lectins are not and never were the problem. I know they are a favorite villain in some circles to point to, but I have ZERO symptoms from my NORMAL diet which DOES NOT contain gluten. The longer I went without bread or foods with wheat like raisin bran cereal, the better I have felt. my body had been telling me for several years that wheat was the problem- or maybe specifically gluten, that remains to be seen- and stopping eating it was the best thing I could have done   I almost had unnecessary MAJOR SURGERY due to joint pain that I ONLY have if I am eating bread or related products I assumed it was the refined grains - never really suspected gluten but it does not matter I won't put that poison in my body ever again not that it is literally poison but it is def toxic to me
