Today I noticed that there's soy in the butter I use. I always thought it was a dairy product.

No problems whatsoever, though.

Does a soy reaction cause joint pain and diarrhea for days?

For me, it's chest pain, joint pain and massive anxiety.

Every one is different,

For me the list of symptoms is long, dizziness,anxiety ,fatigue, ringing in my ears,loss of balance ,headache ,brain fog and other neurological symptoms and also constipation

Soy protein causes joint pain and fatigue for me. Soybean oil causes headaches and fatigue. Soy flour or soy milk causes stomach pain and bloating but not Diarhea. If you have been eating a lot of it the best thing to do would be take it completely out of your diet for a while and see if you improve.

I kept thinking I was getting gluten by CC with coffee mate, ore ida fries, lays stax, margarine and the betty crocker mixes. All of these things have soy. I think I am having soy reactions and not gluten ones. I guess I am going to eliminate those things. I read an article on soy today and it said that it can cause inflammation in your intestines. I'm just a mess right now. Gluten, Casein and now this. Oh well. I will be saving a TON of money at the grocery store.

I think I am in the same boat as you. I thought I was getting cc'd from a bunch of gluten-free products, like chocolate chex and some of the mixes, but I think I am reacting to soy too. This really stinks! Just wanted to let you know that you're not alone.

After getting rid of the gluten, I noticed I was having joint pain, tongue swelling and pain in my chest after ingesting soy.That was a real shocker and quite an adjustment.Ive only been gluten free for about eight weeks. Soy free for about five wks.I have up and down days but all in all feeling soooo much better.

sore throat, sometimes a bit swollen. exhaustion and flu-like feeling. diarrhea. sometimes a little joint pain the next couple days.

For me it depends on the amount ingested. If it's soy lethicin..D, pain in lower right side of abdomen followed by joint pain.

Higher amounts can make me dizzy, nauseated, get a migraine, makes me severely sleepy(like I'd been drugged)the day after, followed by the other symptoms listed above.

It's sneaky too! I find it in all kinds of things that would have been ok on just a gluten-free diet.

      I have found that in addition to gluten, I am sensitive to inulin/chicory root fiber. I wondered why I had gastrointestinal symptoms after drinking a Chobani yogurt drink - much like being glutened. Happened at least twice before I figured out that it was that chicory root fiber additive. I do not react to ordinary dairy, yogurt, etc.  For the holidays, I will only be baking gluten-free treats. I got rid of all gluten-containing flours, mixes and pastas in my kitchen. Much easier to avoid cross-contamination that way!

      It's great to hear that your gluten-free journey has been going well overall, and it's smart to be a detective when a reaction occurs. Distinguishing between a gluten cross-contamination issue and a reaction to high fiber can be tricky, as symptoms can sometimes overlap. The sudden, intense, food poisoning-like hour you experienced does sound more consistent with a specific intolerance or contamination, as a high-fiber reaction typically involves more digestive discomfort like bloating or gas that lasts longer. Since the protein bar was the only new variable, it’s a strong suspect; it's worth checking if it contains ingredients like sugar alcohols (e.g., maltitol, sorbitol) or certain fibers (inulin/chicory root) that are notorious for causing acute digestive upset, even in gluten-free products. For your holiday baking, your plan is solid: bake the gluten-free items first, use entirely separate utensils and pans (not just washed), and consider color-coding tools to avoid mix-ups. Additionally, store your gluten-free flours and ingredients well away from any airborne wheat flour, which can stay in the air for hours and settle on surfaces. Keep listening to your body and introducing new packaged foods one at a time—it’s the best way to navigate and pinpoint triggers on your journey.
