Soy Sauce Worse Than Bread?

So I'm eating gluten again before my biopsy to make sure I am a celiac. (I chose this because I didn't feel much better after going gluten free), so I've been eating gluten for almost 3 weeks again. I have a lot more gas, and I'm more tired brain fog I think, kinda hard to tell.

Anyways, never had upset stomach or diarrhea or anything immediate from eating gluten, and I just ate soy sauce, supposedly with gluten for the first time since being diagnosed, at a restaurant. My stomach feels awful, and it started like 5 10 minutes after eating it. So I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with soy sauce in particular being worse for them than other sources of gluten, or if there's any chemistry/biology behind why it perhaps might be? I eat soy a couple times a week regularly, in tofu and gluten-free soy sauce (the brand I used to buy was gluten-free anyways) so I don't think its just the soy.

I did read someone's blog about realizing soy sauce made them sick and are now a celiac, and they realized it was the soy sauce because they lived in Japan, came home for xmas in the US and felt fine, and then felt sick again when they wnet back because soy sauce was eaten at like, every meal. Presumably the person ate some form of gluten back in the US too though..?

Sometimes a bunch of MSG will get me, and soy sauce has plenty of it!

For me it would be a double wammy because I don't tolerate soy. I do miss soy sauce.

If you are back on gluten for testing your reactions may also be building up. It can take a bit to react when we add it back in so not all notice stomach issues as the first symptom.

Triple threat for me --gluten, soy and MSG! :blink:

I'd be so sick, dazed and have such a pounding headache and racing heart ....I'd want to die. <_<

I used to eat Chinese food before DX and wonder why I felt so bad.

I can do a little soy lecithin and a little soybean oil in things now, but I avoided it totally for a year. But I am not a soy fan anyway. Tofu? blech. :lol:

(and from all I have read, yes, soy depresses the thyroid and affects estrogen levels as well)

Not the best food for most of us, I am thinking. :unsure:

I'd be in the same boat with IrishHeart. I react to all 3 too. Even before I was DXed with Celiac I knew soy sauce bothered me. :blink:

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

      By Alibu · Posted

      Oh I definitely am doing that!  I'm having a "last hurrah" leading up to the endoscopy and I am making sure to eat as much gluten as I can now.  I will say I am BLOATED but I've been this way for so many years, it's kind of my norm.  Just a couple more weeks until I have answers though, I hope!

      I am wondering if my symptoms are Celiac Disease related..

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It’s great that you’ve scheduled a doctor’s appointment to address your symptoms, especially given your family history of autoimmune diseases, including celiac disease. Your symptoms—such as stomach pain, chronic diarrhea, nausea after gluten consumption, joint pain, and headaches—do align with common signs of celiac disease, so it’s definitely worth discussing with your doctor. To help your doctor understand your concerns clearly, consider writing down a detailed list of your symptoms, including when they started, how often they occur, and any patterns you’ve noticed (like symptoms worsening after eating gluten). Mentioning your family history of autoimmune conditions will also be helpful, as celiac disease has a genetic component. You might also ask about getting tested for celiac disease, which typically involves blood tests and possibly an endoscopy. Avoid cutting gluten out of your diet before testing, as this can affect the accuracy of the results. Hopefully, your doctor can provide clarity and guide you toward the right next steps—hang in there, and good luck with your appointment!

      CVS (Cyclic vomiting syndrome)

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome (CVS) is not a common symptom of celiac disease, but there can be occasional overlap—particularly in children. Celiac disease typically presents with symptoms like chronic diarrhea, abdominal pain, fatigue, and nutrient deficiencies, while CVS is marked by repeated, intense vomiting episodes separated by periods of normal health. In rare cases, undiagnosed celiac disease can cause recurrent vomiting that mimics CVS, and symptoms may resolve on a gluten-free diet. Because of this, celiac disease should be ruled out in anyone diagnosed with CVS, especially if there are other gastrointestinal or nutritional concerns. However, vomiting alone is more often related to other conditions such as migraines or autonomic dysfunction.

      First, be sure to eat tons of gluten in the two weeks leading up to the endoscopy--like 4 slices of wheat bread a day. Talk to your doctor about when to go gluten-free, but normally you can do so after all tests are done.

      By trents · Posted

      Be aware that putting your child on a gluten free diet ahead of an official celiac diagnosis will invalidate any attempt to arrive at an official diagnosis. If at some point in time after commencing a gluten free diet you wish to have your child tested for celiac disease, he/she would need to go back to eating normal amounts of gluten for weeks/months leading up to the testing date. And it is often the case that once gluten has been withdrawn for a significant amount of time, the reactions are much stronger when going back on it.
