What Is Wrong With Corn, Soy, Dairy, Legumes...?

After reading a lot of the topics here, I have noticed a lot of people saying they have gone off, or suggesting others go off, corn, soy, dairy, and legumes...

Dairy I can understand because of lactose intolerance, but it seems even people who are not intolerant are giving it up. And why corn, soy, and legumes..?

I actually thought legumes (isn't that like lentils?) were supposed to be very good for you...?

All the things you mention can be very good for you - if you are not intolerant of them, that is. Many of us do develop other food intolerances, particularly before we are able to heal our leaky guts (caused by gluten) which let larger particles of other food protein into the blood than would normally pass through the intestinal barrier.

Dairy is pasteurized thus potentially causing problems for many. When I switched to raw dairy I no longer had problems. That's just me though. I have good cows and a good farmer. Not saying that will be the case for everyone. It is expensive to get raw dairy but worth it for me. It has helped tremendously.

Corn and soy are so heavily GMO now that there are many potential problems there as well. Soy is estrogenic and there are implications for difficulty there as well. It is the GMO component that is of most concern to me. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 80% of all con and in excess of 92% of soy in this country are GMO. This allows for the application of up to 86% more herbicide by farmers and is residual in the product. This can effect the stomach and lining of the intestines.. already a problem for those if us with celiac. Gut permeability issues also heighten this as a problem.

Legumes are high in lectins and those with gut permeability issues want to decrease gut permeability thus the need to avoid legumes.

From personal experience I can say that all grains cause problems for me. Cutting them all out was a necessary step to my regaining a considerable amount of good health and gut function. It also makes compliance to gluten-free much easier.

All, of course, IMHO.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
