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. :)

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
