Soy Intolerance & Externally Used Products

Do any of you soy intolerant folks find that you have to be as vigilant about externally used products with soy as you would gluten? I just shampooed my hair a bit ago and thought to look at the label. Sure enough, soy protein is right in the middle of the ingredients of my non-toxic, organic, and absolute favorite shampoo. I also just found soybean oil in our natural pest repellent spray.

I don't think I have much risk of ingestion of hair care products, probably not pest spray either. What do you guys think?

I am not as diligent with my hair care products as maybe I could be ,but lip stick and lip gloss,chap stick, hand creams I am extremely diligent about those. I personally would not use a pest spray with soy oil in it.

Since I have an actual allergy as well as an intolerance to soy I avoid it in all products. In shampoos it makes my head itch and my hair fall out and if in lotions etc I will break out in a rash. I don't know if I didn't have the allergy to it I would be as careful as I am with topicals as I am with gluten though. It would depend on whether I had reactions and couldn't find a food source as a cause. I didn't avoid gluten in topicals at first but soon learned that I had no choice so it might be the same with the soy.

I do occasionally swallow shampoo contaminated water while washing my hair in the shower. My former shampoo also contained soy. When I ingest soy products, I get cramping pain and bloating for about 10 days afterwards. So I decided to switch to Shakai natural shampoo products, which odn't contain any of my 7 diagnosed allergens. They offer a shampoo for color treated hair, as well as regular shampoo products. I also use their creme rinse. Maybe other people can avoid getting shampoo in their mouths, but I can't while I wash my hair in the shower.

      Oh yes I can understand the tiredness after going threw all that, must be exhausting especially on the mind I have high aniexty so I can understand that , I wish there more easier ways for people to get help , I had a MRI on my spine some years ago without anything it was really quick and no prep , I understand the need for  them to see better with the bowel ,but you think they would use something a little less traumatic  for ibd sufferers on the bowels by now ,I hope your feeling better today 🙏

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      I wonder if tingling burning feet are part of it.. I'm not sure if it's the med reaction that people with gluten intolerance get or the food we ate  It's frustrating because a person who did not want to admit to himself I had this condition wanted me to eat this chicken sandwich and now I'm stuck with a variety of symptoms plus now I'm hungry on top of it..  I'm new to this so I forget that "one bite" of the wrong thing can hurt us.😔. Do we stop eating if someone exposed us to gluten ??  My stomach is rumbling but my joints hurt ...  It's weird because I can feel the anxiety coming on.  I get joint problems ,  I don't know if anyone ever got hot flashes?? I suppose if it affects people head to toes you can get that too.   It's weird...hard to decipher what is what.   Also how long do I have to deal with this attack??  Makes me feel like not getting up out of bed.  I get too many symptoms which  horrible.  Thank you for your response..

      still struggling with cravings

      By wellthatsfun · Posted

      as my last post stated, i was diagnosed via endoscopy on the 14th of june. i have been eating amazing home cooked meals, luckily, mainly cooked by my boyfriend who is extremely careful about contamination (and is an incredible cook at that). however, i find myself in a mental rut still. being 18, this is the time in my life where i should be exploring things, going out, having fun. yet every corner i turn i'm tortured by the amazing smell of something i can't have anymore. the wonderful sight of such yummy foods. it's near torture. if my boyfriend and his friend who lives with us buy something i can't have, they'll usually eat it outside of the house or the car or wherever we are - which is greatly appreciated - but even seeing a burger or chips or a sausage roll in their hands guts me almost beyond repair. i just wanna have it again too. i miss it. i feel left out and it makes me very sad all the time. it's not their fault. they are allowed to eat whatever they want to, whatever their intestines will allow. it just stings, bad. and i feel so ungrateful given i basically have a private chef who is doubly the love of my life. but it's just so hard. i know i'll adapt. i haven't given up hope.i just wanted to vent. thank you for reading

      Thank you. I must have misinterpreted a study or something. Thank you for the clarification. Much appreciated. Almost three years into my celiac diagnosis and I'm still learning new things.
