Best Way To Reintroduce Soy?

We put my 21 month old on a lactose and soy free diet, in addition to gluten, and have noticed a big improvement in his daipers. So now we're going to reintroduce milk for a few days and see what happens and later want to reintroduce soy but I'm not sure what's the best food to give him to test that so if there's a reaction we know it's soy and not another ingredient. Any suggestions?

Edamame are green soybeans. I found them in the frozen food section of my local Wal-Mart.

why would you want to?

Just to see which one is an issue for him, or if it's both. We've suspected each at points so just took both lactose and soy out at the same time. I just want to reintroduce each and if it causes an issue then we'll keep it out of his diet.

neither cows milk, nor soy are needed. Why not leave them out?

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
