Am I A Mess?

Hi everyone. I've been gluten free for a little over a week and being super careful. In the past, I've used soy milk from time to time as I can't have dairy. I usually opt for almond milk. Anyway, yesterday afternoon I went to an Asian restraurant with a friend and had a veggie steam bowl with rice and some gluten free sauce on the side. The inside of my mouth got sort of raw after - not sure if it was the spice or the soy and I still feel it today. I had a soy latte later - no syrup or anything - and ended up with really bad wind that has stayed yet today. Is it possible that I'm sensitive to soy? Or could it just be part of the healing? I plan on staying away from it for a bit but I wanted to see what you thought.

Everyone has been so helpful since I joined. Thank you so much :)

I dunno but I've read nothing but bad stuff about soy, I would stay away from it, but I guess it's hard if you want to eat out at chinese, thai and the like. Basically I read there's estrogen and other bad stuff in soy, and that the soy protein is really sticky in your gut.

A lot of celiacs also have problems with soy. I am one of those. Bloating, gas. I quit soy & it went away.

Yes, soy is a problem also for many celiacs, me included. If you are looking for a soy sauce substitute, Whole Foods carries a product called Cocnut Secrets/Cocnut Aminos, which is very similar in flavor.

Thanks Mushroom - I will check that out. I have always tried to limit soy, even before all this happened but have some in "treats" since most places don't use almond milk. I might be noticing symptoms more now that I am feeling a bit better. I think I'll have to watch it more carefully now.

That happened to me! I had never gone out of my way to eat soy, but didn't check for it in things like salad dressings, etc. After gluten free when my body no longer had to fight that fight it turned its attention to soy with a vengeance, and I developed this huge bright red rash which tooke me quite a while to figure out. Turns out that a lot of gluten free foods have soy subbed in them - it does limit your choice of baked goods/flours if you avoid soy :unsure:

I had never removed Soy until my full elimination diet and boy what a reaction I got when I trialed a cup of soybeans! Here is my note from my food log 9/23/11:

"Major bloat - 8 months prego within 20 minutes of eating one cup soybeans - next day none had digested."

Hope that wasn't TMI -- hope no one is eating while reading this post ;)

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By Alibu · Posted

      I was tested back in 2017 and my TTG-IGA was mildly elevated (an 11 with reference range <4) but my EMA was negative and biopsy was negative. Fast forward to 2 weeks ago where I was like y'know what, I still have so many symptoms and I'm always so sick, I should repeat this, thinking it was not going to be positive.  I also found out through 23 and me that I do have the HLA-DQ2.5 gene so I thought it would be good to repeat given my ongoing symptoms. Well my blood work came back with a ttg-iga level of 152.6 with a reference range of <15 and my EMA was positive and EMA titer was 1:10 with reference range of <1:5. I guess I'm nervous that I'm going to do the biopsy and it's going to be negative again, especially since I also had an endoscopy in 2020, not to look for celiac but just as a regular 5 year thing I do because of all my GI issues, and they didn't see anything then either. I have no idea how long the EMA has been positive but I'm wondering if it's very recent, if the biopsy will show damage and if so, if they'll say well the biopsy is the gold standard so it's not celiac? I of course am doing all the things to convince myself that it isn't real. Do a lot of people go through this? I think because back in 2017 my ttg-iga was elevated but not a huge amount and my EMA was negative and my biopsy was negative, I keep thinking this time it's going to be different. But this time my ttg-iga is 152.6 with reference range <15, and my EMA was positive. BUT, my titer is only 1:10 and I keep reading how most people here had a ttg-iga in the hundreds or thousands, and the EMA titer was much higher. So now I am convinced that it was a false positive and when they do the biopsy it'll be negative.

      Found coffee or coffee pods that contain gluten

      Welcome to the forum, @linnylou73! Are you claiming this based on a reaction or based upon actual testing?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This varies a lot from person to person. I include foods that are not certified gluten-free but are labelled "gluten-free", while super sensitive people only use certified gluten-free. Both types of products have been found to contain gluten, so there are no guarantees either way: It you are in the super sensitive group, eating a whole foods based diet where you prepare everything is the safest bet, but it's also difficult. Eating out is the the most risky, even if a restaurant has a gluten-free menu. I also include items that are naturally gluten-free, for example refried beans, tuna, pasta sauces, salsas, etc., which have a low overall risk of contamination.
