Bisquick And Soy Allergy

I tried the BC gluten-free Bisquick for the first time yesterday and now this a.m. I woke up with sudden major D. Had some symptoms yesterday as well that gave me flashbacks to glutening-a familiar fatigue that I haven't experienced in a LONG time and other symptoms last night that gave me memories of an ER trip before I was dx with soy allergy but right after consuming a product with soy, strange tightness in my chest-left.

After I tested pos. to soy 2 yrs ago and eliminated it, I haven't tried re-introducing it so I don't know what my symptoms are, aside from a little patchy skin thing with a little soy oil consumed. These symptoms, if they are, are very differnt from my usual food allergy symptoms. Anybody else like this with soy? anyone else soy-allergic react to the BC Bisquick? anyone else get that chest, I hesitate to call it "pain" with allergic reactions?

I was told stearnly to "be careful" with soy when I tested pos to it because it is a cross-reactor with latex to which I am quite allergic.

I'm not sure if my daughter is actually allergic to soy since she has never had allergy testing, but she does a major problem with it and she can not eat anything made with the gluten-free bisquick. When she has soy her reaction is more GI, within no more then 4 hours she will get D and when you change her there is coffee ground looking grit in her diaper and she gets red bumps and the grit will actually cut up her bottom.

I really wish I knew if she had actual allergies to the foods she has a problem with...I just know that with soy and eggs whenever we have tried them with her the reaction seems to get worse.

My gluten, soy and casein all cause similar reactions. I can not tolerate gluten free Bisquick or any of the Betty Crocker mixes. If they are not CC with gluten it has got to be the soy allergen warning on the box.

The Bisquick and the Betty Crocker mixes are made in the same factory. The chocolate cake mix has soy flour in it. I think this is where our problem is.

I also am very allergic to latex. How do you do with bananas? I heard that they were cross reactive with latex.

Hi GFreeMO,

I haven't tried bananas since my latex allergy dx. As a diabetic at the time I didn't have insulin so was avoiding them on a blood sugar basis. Now I have insulin but am no so comfortable trying bananas due to the latex allergy. I've decided to avoid the top three cross-reactors-bananas, avacados and kiwi. I was tolerating avacados for a while but had a reaction so have given them up. I have a number of other food allergies that are listed as latex cross-reactors but not sure yet if that's the connection or they are due to my suspected leaky gut. Time may help me sort that out.

I've been talking with others who are both latex and soy allergic today and learned that it is possible to have that chest tightness as part of a reaction...can be part of anaphylaxis...

No more BC for me I guess...

The reason that I asked about the bananas was because yesterday I tried one in my smoothie for breakfast and my left lung felt heavy. I wheezed a little and it felt like I had mucus in my lung or something but nothing came up when I coughed. It sounds similar to what happened to you.

So you and me both..No more BC. (not a huge loss though..it's expensive and it really isn't THAT good)

Pay attention to those symptoms gluten-free MO. Sounds like reaction to me. I am learning the hard way recently with increasing reactions. I had similar but much worse symptoms recently with an exposure to powdered gloves. Almost sent me to the ER. Couple weeks after that I walked into a shoe store and had a dry take your breath away on a cold day kind of cough and my kiddo looked at me and said mom, that's probably all the rubber in the shoes.

Wow, I would have never thought about the shoe rubber! I hear ya about the powdered gloves. So no more bananas, bisquick or BC. My ok foods keep getting shorter and shorter. :huh:

I react to the Betty Crocker Bisquick, too. For me, I think it's just CC. I'm super sensitive and react to very small amounts of gluten. I eat soy all the time without any problems, so I know it's not soy. I hope you're feeling better. :)

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.
