Soy And/or Lactose Intolerance?

Over Christmas break I decided to take lactose and soy out of my 21 month old's diet (in addition to gluten). I decided to try this because I think he should be having stools that are a bit firmer than they are. Over the last couple days it looks like there may be some improvements. I'm wondering if there are tests that can be done to test for lactose and soy intolerance. I see there are some for lactose, but the intenet said not all doctors will test in toddlers, but didn't find any info for soy.

I am casein allergic and soy allergic. I was dx with skin testing. There are a number of tests that can be done for dairy issues. There is a blood test called a milk subfraction test that breaks up the dairy into about 3 or 4 components and tests for reaction to each. There is another kind of test for lactose intolerance but I am not familira with that one. I don't know if these tests are done on little ones or if they are accurate.

You can order stool testing through E n t e r o l a b which will test for sensitivity to both soy and milk.

As someone who has both of these sensitivities I say skip the test and proceed with adjusting the diet. Suppose the test comes back positive. Okay great---adjust diet. Suppose test comes back negative? Then what? You've seen the results. They seem good. Go with it.

If it is a true allergy you can do the skin testing. Most of the time in young children it is a protein intolerance. This is known as Milk/Soy Protein Intolerance (MSPI). There is no test for this. Also, if there is an issue with gluten and the intestine is currently in the healing phase there is a good chance that your LO will not tolerate dairy.

He's had allergy tests done so we know he's not allergic to soy or dairy. Testing would be nice because we've also suspected c.diff. a few times. He had so many ear infections last year and was on numerous courses of antibiotics, so it's possible he had issues with that too.

If you do the stoool testing through Genova labs they can test for soy, milk, c.diff. or any other parasite all at once I believe.

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Martha Mitchell · Posted

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!

      Welcome @Martha Mitchell, I too would like to know more about your prior lenses, and especially about the potential of gluten in lenses. In theory this should not harm most celiacs, as the autoimmune reaction normally begins in the gut, however, in those who are super sensitive or have dermatitis herpetiformis it may be a potential issue.

      Chances of being coeliac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's most likely going to be a celiac disease diagnosis based on your blood test results, but wait for your doctor to give you a green light for going gluten-free, as they may want to do additional testing. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Chances of being coeliac

      Welcome @JoJo0611. That is a valid question.  Unfortunately the short answer is slim to none.  Be proactive, when the diagnosis process is completed, start GFD.  Remember also that the western diet is deficient in many nutrients that governments require fortification.  Read the side of a breakfast cereal box. Anti-tTG antibodies has superseded older serological tests It has a strong sensitivity (99%) and specificity (>90%) for identifying celiac disease. A list of symptoms linked to Celiac is below.  No one seems to be tracking it, but I suspect that those with elevated ttg, but not diagnosed with Celiac Disease, are diagnosed with celiac disease many years later or just die, misdiagnosed.  Wheat has a very significant role in our economy and society.  And it is addictive.  Anti-tTG antibodies can be elevated without gluten intake in cases of other autoimmune diseases, certain infections, and inflammatory conditions like inflammatory bowel disease. Transient increases have been observed during infections such as Epstein-Barr virus.Some autoimmune disorders including hepatitis and biliary cirrhosis, gall bladder disease. Then, at 65 they are told you have Ciliac Disease. Milk protein has been connected to elevated levels.   Except for Ireland and New Zealand where almost all dairy cows are grass fed, commercial diaries feed cows TMR Total Mixed Rations which include hay, silage, grains and concentrate, protein supplements, vitamins and minerals, byproducts and feed additives. Up to 80% of their diet is food that cannot be eaten by humans. Byproducts of cotton seeds, citrus pulp, brewer’s grains (wheat and barley, rye, malt, candy waste, bakery waste. The wheat, barley and rye become molecules in the milk protein and can trigger tTg Iga in persons suseptible to Celiac. I can drink Grass fed milk, it tastes better, like the milk the milkman delivered in the 50's.  If I drink commercial or Organic milk at bedtime I wake with indigestion.
