Soy

How many of you die a horrible death with soy? I just had some reese cups last night and felt like i was going to croak. Wondering if it was from soy content. I have felt the same way when i consumed vitamin D with soybean oil. Just recently realized that vegetable oil is often soybean oil. It seems like a bunch of little pieces may be falling in place. My issues with soy seem much different than gluten, assuming it really is a soy issue.

I am almost tempted to do a shot of soy vegetable oil one day to know for sure...prolly not a good idea.

Hmmmmm..

Very curious indeed.

I am about ready to replace my GI system. If you want to trade, just let me know. :)

As bad as it is, I think I will keep mine -- at least it is one I am familiar with :P

oh honey, you sooooo do not want mine! :lol:

The only way to isolate a food to see if you are intolerant is to eat something plain.

A Reese's cup could mean soy lecithin or it could be the chocolate or the peanut butter or sugar, or, or, or ....and you'd just be guessing.

If you really, really want to know if soy is a problem, eat some edamame or tofu PLAIN. NOTHING else. That's how you tell.

Hi Chad,

Soy hurts me hard. After several months of going soy free, I'm tolerating soy lecethin now. (That's in all chocolate I think, so that's pretty important.) :)

Hang in there!

I had not even thought about soy lecithin to be honest until just recently. I was more looking at soybean oil. D'oh.

Some people can handle the soy lecithin, others can't. Same for the soybean oil. I have added back soy lecithin but still avoid the oil.

The lecithin doesn't bother me but soy flour or soymilk, major major pain. Soybean oil has been okay. I have no idea why.

I guess my body just cringes when I see soy or soya (unless followed by lecithin) :blink: May try oil someday, but in the meantime avoid anything that says "vegetable oil" because that includes canola, safflower and sunflower too and one never knows what one will get :rolleyes:

I can't handle even traces of soya. I have neuro symptoms, the worst of which is a crushing depression, emotional confusion, temptation to self-harm. Then headaches, pain, reflux. Last time I got symptoms from eating a single piece of shrimp cooked in a jambalaya with soya-containing sausages. Before that I got symptoms from washing my face with a shower soap that contained soybean oil.

I avoid soya lecithin as well, because I feel like I reacted to it once upon a time. I've chewed pieces of gum with the lecithin in it once or twice without symptoms, but I don't chance it anymore. It's actually kinda nice that this rules out so many candies for me, because I used to have a raging sweet tooth, and having to avoid soya lecithin (which is in practically anything that contains chocolate) helps me rein it in.

in the States, vegetable oil = soybean oil. Crisco and vegetable shortening is all soybean shortening. I wish they'd just label the damn vegetables in the oil rather than hide behind "vegetable", especially considering most "vegetable oil" in the US contains ONE ingredient which is SOY.

here in Europe "vegetable oil" usually = rapeseed (canola) oil or sunflower oil. which is nice. I don't have to avoid things that list veggie oil or shortening or vegetable fat in the ingredients. (soya will be listed, due to its being an allergen, if it is contained in the product)

You will also find soy as part of the vegetable broth in canned meats and tuna. I found out the hard way. Soy hits me almost as hard as gluten and like gluten, it seems to be everywhere.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet.  I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now.  He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs.  It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.  It's literally neurological inflammation.  Not to be taken lightly here.  We have sought out many other possible ways to cope during this window of time (8 months!!!!)  without success.   AN-PEP does not help and seems like studies on this are not well researched.  So, we are trying this out because research shows some promising results.  And, all participants showed no cravings afterwards, no signs of addiction.  The patch is different than the oral route such as smoking, vaping, gum, pouch, etc.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-Free.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      @fatjacksonthecat I have been doing some digging about the topic of nicotine and celiac.  I came across many studies that showed that the nicotine patch helped many with long covid and chronic fatigue syndrome.  I have a son who was diagnosed with celiac and his symptoms are severe when he is glutened.  He shows a lot of neurological inflammation and suffered with fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety and insomnia. There have been studies revealing that nicotine smoke actually masking celiac symptoms.  I also read that microdosing with a nictoine patch prevents one from addiction.  We are currently trying this out and so far it has lifted the brain fog and helped with anxiety and mood.  One of the studies I have read showed that it's not so much the dose, but the length of time a person is on the patch that showed improvements.  Many showed significant improvement as early as week 3 and continued through week 12.  We are taking 3 day breaks in between to make sure we don't down regulate the nicotine receptors.   How have things been for you?  Are you still chewing nicotine gum?  Perhaps, try the patch?  And how long did it take to ease up on your symptoms when glutened?

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here.  I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?
