Soybean Oil

For those of you that are soy intolerant, do you react to soybean oil? I figured I should exclude it,but now I'm reading that it's not considered an allergen. I assume it's akin to ghee being ok for dairy intolerant folks since it is pure fat with none of the allergy-triggering proteins. Do you find soybean oil to be a trigger?

An intolerance is different than an allergy .

I am intolerant of soy and I react to soybean oil.

Right, but I believe I've read that the protein in an item tends to be the more reactive part. I have some allergies and some intolerances, but soy is an intolerance.

I react to soybean oil but my reaction is different than the reaction I get from other soy products. I get an instant migraine with soybean oil. Other forms of soy make my stomach hurt, give me fatigue, joint pain and joint swelling. I had a PA tell me one time that I should be able to tolerate soybean oil because of it not having the proteins, but everytime I have tested it I get a migraine. I trust my body's reaction over the theory that I "should" be able to tolerate it. You will just have to experiment if you want to find out if you can tolerate soybean oil.

I believe you may be thinking of soy lecithin, not soybean oil. I recently read why people who are intolerant of soybean oil are able to tolerate soy lecithin, and it's the same explanation that you provided for why people should not be intolerant of soybean oil. Personally, I have no problems at all with soy lecithin...but I definitely canNOT tolerate soybean oil, which makes me extremely ill. And, of course, food manufacturers have added it to EVERYTHING!! I want it out of my mayonnaise and out of my tuna! Because of the excess production of soybeans in the U.S. as a result of government subsidies, food manufacturers are using it because it's so inexpensive right now. Of course, it's all about making $$, so now we're stuck with soybean oil in everything.

This all started when I read and noticed that Wendy's doesn't count any items with soybean oil on their list of foods with soy. I thought it was an error at first. Then Pollo Tropical, which caters to special dietary needs, included on their allergen free food list that soybean oil is not counted because foodallergy.org indicates that most people allergic to soy can tolerate the oil.

Foodallergy.org states that the govt has specially excluded soybean oil from consideration as an allergen. It is exempt from needing to be disclosed as an allergen on foods based on medical studies. It goes further to say that some people allergic to soy can tolerate soy lecithin too.

While it applies to packaged foods, not restaurant meals, FALCPA specifically exempts "highly refined oils" from the definition of an allergen. It is not just soybean oil that is exempt.

Well, I don't eat any soy on purpose. But that's me and my preference. For you to know if you react you do have to try it yourself. But to know if you are reacting you should stop all soy for a month or two and then test soy oil. Although I think it is better to just use a different oil if there is any doubt at all. What's the big attraction to soy oil? Its not good for you and not a good choice for health reasons. Olive oil or corn oil are better.

Oh I don't use it myself. But restaurants and food makers sure do.

My worst reactions are to soy oil. Instant migraine and a feeling of "chemical haze" that lasts for 2 days. It's so bad I have to stay home from work, and I've gotten to be quite adept at working and socializing like nothing is wrong when I feel like my insides are dying. :)

I find it interesting that people feel they can decide that an allergy or intolerance follows a certain set of rules when no one really knows how it all works to begin with. If I react to something I stay away from every part. Good to know that it isn't regulated and labeled. That's bogus....and might answer some of my "mysterious" reactions.

Considering an anaphylactic reaction can be life threatening and is (medically )treated differently than a digestive reaction,,it can be important to differentiate between an allergic reaction and an intolerance

Personalty, I consider an anaphylactic reaction a symptom of an allergy .Digestive and neurological reactions I consider to be symptoms of an intolerance ,,but that is just me :)

It bothers me that the government regulations cater to allergy sufferers and not those with food intolerances, as if the intolerant people don't exist. My reactions are long-term only at this point, so I won't know if a restaurant grilling in soybean oil affects me.

I'm even scared of trying out ghee, which everyone swears is fine. I have an allergy and an intolerance to dairy. I won't go into shock from eating it, but I don't want to silently damage myself either.

      Welcome to the forum, @daniellelawson2011! First, we need to deal with terminology here. When you refer to the "ttg" test I take that to mean the ttg-iga. And when you refer to the "iga" test I take that to mean total iga since the magnitude of the score would suggest that. Total iga is not a test for celiac disease per se.

      After struggling with many different symptoms for years with no diagnosis, I decided to do my own research and I stumbled upon an article about celiac disease. I asked my PCP to order a ttg and iga. The results: the iga was high at 638. The ttg was negative. Of course I will discuss with my doctor, but i would like to hear from people that have went through...

      Cruise and GliadinX

      Hi StevieP I think it is best to take GliadinX Just before, during or just after you eat a food that may have a small amount of gluten. Taking 2 capsules of GliadinX in the morning will not protect you all day because it will be long gone when you need it. The upper digestive system is where the digestive enzymes break down gluten. The problem with...

      Welcome to the forum, @daniellelawson2011! First, we need to deal with terminology here. When you refer to the "ttg" test I take that to mean the ttg-iga. And when you refer to the "iga" test I take that to mean total iga since the magnitude of the score would suggest that. Total iga is not a test for celiac disease per se. It is run in order to check for iga deficiency. If you are iga deficient, then the ttg-iga and other iga tests that are specific for celiac disease will be abnormally low and this would potentially produce false negatives. You are not iga deficient but, rather, your total iga is abnormally high. This can suggest underlying health conditions, some of them can be serious in nature.  https://labs.selfdecode.com/blog/high-iga/ "High IgA usually points to chronic infections or inflammation, though many disorders can raise its levels. High IgA does not cause symptoms. People show symptoms from their underlying health problem." One thing I might add and that is you must have been eating normal amounts of gluten for weeks/months prior to the blood draw for antibody testing. Testing while on a gluten free or gluten reduced diet will not yield valid results. Also, here is a primer outlining the various antibody tests that can be ordered to check for celiac disease:

I asked my PCP to order a ttg and iga. The results: the iga was high at 638. The ttg was negative. Of course I will discuss with my doctor, but i would like to hear from people that have went through the process of diagnosis to maybe give me some insight on what this means and where to go from here. Also of note, i had a brain mri which showed white lesions which arent typical at 44 years old. I have many MS symptoms. I go to the neurologist on Tuesday, but just curious if anyone knows if there is a correlation between iga and MS. I appreciate any help! Thanks!

      Thankyou so much for your reply I decided to skip the senna has I've already had very loose stools last few days I've cut my portions down on the low fiber diet too and drinking lots of liquid has I just thought it would be wise to listen to myself too I've probably already done wat the senna would of done myself naturally by drinking clear apple juice which if not on the diet I would have to avoid anyways has I don't tolerate many fruit juices so I'm sure I've done the right thing I did try to contact the department on my letter but weirdly enough it was ringing but then after a while saying wrong number 🤷 but again I'm positive I've done the right thing I'm going to take today very lightly too with low portions and more liquids so yes thankyou for that advise I am very nervous but I have had time to think and read other peoples experiences and not all are bad there is some good advise and reassuring information from people who do these all the time so I'm trying my best to be positive so I can at least settle my mind knowing im doing this to help my own health has this year has been a rollercoaster for me cutting out gluten and lactose was a good idea but I still get flare ups and other symptoms so it definitely is worth a check like you said it was the calprotein that prompted the doctor to refer me again thankyou for your reply it's means a lot for someone to take the time to listen and respond and give uplifting advise  especially to me just now has I'm a bundle of nerves inside getting closer to tomorrow prep so thankyou for that 🙏

      Hi StevieP I think it is best to take GliadinX Just before, during or just after you eat a food that may have a small amount of gluten.  Taking 2 capsules of GliadinX in the morning will not protect you all day because it will be long gone when you need it. The upper digestive system is where the digestive enzymes break down gluten. The problem with Celiacs is that normal digestion will only break down gluten to the point where the small fragments will still cause a reaction. GliadinX will break down the fragments so that they are too small to start the autoimmune reaction.  The label on my bottle reads'it works in the stomach' and that is ver concentrated so 1 capsule is the recomm Hope this helps/Have a lovely cruise.ended dose for each meal.
