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 ;)

      Sciatica came to mind for me as well. You might want to get some imaging done on your C-spine.

      Maybe this is sciatica? When mine acts up a little, I switch my wallet from one back pocket to the other. this isn't a substitute for more serious medical help, but for me it's a bandaid.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      OK so I just learned something completely new about this for the first time in years, that is REALLY WEIRD. One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the...

      Zaalouk moroccan eggplant salad

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped...

One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the hell. I've never seen a direct trigger such as this before that I can recall. The pain was the usual type I get from this problem - I suspect somehow the head movement was interrupting descending inhibition processes, causing the pain to leak through somehow.

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped baby spinach or celery leaves to add a dash of green color to this red dish. Best eaten in first couple days because flavor tends to fade. Leftovers are still good, but not as vibrant. Ingredients 2 medium eggplants, partially peeled and cut into cubes (original recipe says 1 in, but I prefer 1/2 to 3/4 in) 2 tomatoes, peeled and crushed 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced 1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons spicy harissa (I use Mina brand) 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon paprika ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional) Salt to taste Preparation     • Heat olive oil in skillet or pot over medium heat. Add all ingredients and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook on low heat for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.       • Serve warm or cold as a side or with bread for dipping. Enjoy!

      I checked consumer labs that I'm a member of they independently check products for safely and claims the wolfs was rated great and bobs redmill buckwheat cereal. Ultra low gotten no dangerous levels of arsenic heavy metals, mold, yeast etc. plus they mention to refrigerate. I wonder if the raw buckwheat they rinse bc it's not toasted like kasha. Toasted removes the grassy taste I have to try the one you mentioned. I also bought Qia which is a quinoa mixed got great reviews.
