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.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      Welcome, @catnapt! The most recent guidelines are the daily consumption of a minimum of 10g of gluten (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of two weeks. But if possible stretching that out even more would enhance the chances of getting valid test results. These guidelines are for those who have been eating gluten free for...

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      after several years of issues with a para-gland issue, my endo has decided it's a good idea for me to be tested for celiac disease. I am 70 yrs old and stunned to learn that you can get celiac this late in life. I have just gradually stopped eating most foods that contain gluten over the past several years- they just make me feel ill- although I...

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      The biopsy looks for damage to the mucosal lining of the small bowel from the inflammation caused by celiac disease when gluten is ingested. Once you remove gluten from the diet, inflammation subsides and the mucosal lining begins to heal.

      Welcome, @catnapt! The most recent guidelines are the daily consumption of a minimum of 10g of gluten (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of two weeks. But if possible stretching that out even more would enhance the chances of getting valid test results. These guidelines are for those who have been eating gluten free for a significant amount of time. It's called the "gluten challenge".  Yes, you can develop celiac disease at any stage of life. There is a genetic component but also a stress trigger that is needed to activate the celiac genes. About 30-40% of the general population possesses the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% of the general population actually develop celiac disease. For most with the potential, the triggering stress event doesn't happen. It can be many things but often it is a viral infection. Having said that, it is also the case that many, many people who eventually are diagnosed with celiac disease probably experienced the actual onset years before. Many celiacs are of the "silent" type, meaning that symptoms are largely missing or very minor and get overlooked until damage to the small bowel lining becomes advanced or they develop iron deficiency anemia or some other medical problem associated with celiac disease. Many, many are never diagnosed or are diagnosed later in life because they did not experience classic symptoms. And many physicians are only looking for classic symptoms. We now know that there are over 200 symptoms/medical problems associated with celiac disease but many docs are only looking for things like boating, gas, diarrhea. I certainly understand your concerns about not wanting to damage your body by taking on a gluten challenge. Your other option is to totally commit to gluten free eating and see if your symptoms improve. It can take two years or more for complete healing of the small bowel lining once going gluten free but usually people experience significant improvement well before then. If their is significant improvement in your symptoms when going seriously gluten free, then you likely have your answer. You would either have celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).

      after several years of issues with a para-gland issue, my endo has decided it's a good idea for me to be tested for celiac disease. I am 70 yrs old and stunned to learn that you can get celiac this late in life. I have just gradually stopped eating most foods that contain gluten over the past several years- they just make me feel ill- although I attributed it to other things like bread spiking blood sugar- or to the things I ate *with* the bread or crackers etc   I went to a party in Nov and ate a LOT of a vegan roast made with vital wheat gluten- as well as stuffing, rolls and pie crust... and OMG I was so sick! the pain, the bloating, the gas, the nausea... I didn't think it would ever end (but it did) and I was ready to go the ER but it finally subsided.   I mentioned this to my endo and now she wants me to be tested for celiac after 2 weeks of being on gluten foods. She has kind of flip flopped on how much gluten I should eat, telling me that if the symptoms are severe I can stop. I am eating 2-3 thin slices of bread per day (or english muffins) and wow- it does make me feel awful. But not as bad as when I ate that massive amnt of vital wheat gluten. so I will continue on if I have to... but what bothers me is - if it IS celiac, it seems stupid for lack of a better word, to intentionally cause more damage to my body... but I am also worried, on the other hand, that this is not a long enough challenge to make the blood work results valid.   can you give me any insight into this please?   thank you

I mention this site to everyone.  Scott has working hard for the Celiac community.
