Exposure To Something


ShannonA

Recommended Posts

ShannonA Contributor

I have been off of gluten for I month now with 2 accidental exposures. This morning I woke up feeling like I was exposed but I know that I wasn't as I am extremely careful. Congestion, very tired & fatigued, headache,head foggy. I took liquid geritol yesterday evening & it contains soy. When I inquired about this to the receptionist at the naturopath's office, she stated soy in vitamins are different. Is this true? That seems to be the only thing that could be causing me to feel Ike this.

I have a new problem with soy and I have learned that it depends if it is the soy protein that is used. My understanding is that is where the allergens come from. I don't know why this soy garbage is permeating the gluten-free food and so many others. Processed soy uses all kinds of chemicals if my sources were accurate. I try to avoid it all together. If it bothers you and makes you feel worse eliminate it.

Because it is cheap, because growing it is heavily subsidized by the government(s), because what they don't use for fattening hogs and cattle on feedlots has to go somewhere, and their lobbyists are always promoting it to the baking industry. And there are a whole slew of people with financial interests in the GMO marketing aspects who run around the internet attacking anyone who suggests that soy might not be good for you, irregardless of their other conditions. They like to pretend they're all really heavily into caring for the environment and green stuff, until you mention that Brazil is cutting down rainforest in the Amazon to grow more soy, then they get a bit.... aggravated. <_<:blink:;)

Yes I have noticed soy is in EVERYTHING processed it seems. Thanks!

Two weeks ago I took a prenatal vitamin with soy in it for three days and I felt awful. It's possible that it made you feel sick. I assume that soy is soy, no matter what form it comes in.

My daughter is allergic to soy, ginger, sesame, and garlic.

Those 4 ingredients seem to be in everything!

Now I'm watching for those 4 for her, plus gluten for me.

It's crazy what's mixed in with your foods!

      How long have you been strictly gluten free? Certainly, it would be good to look into vitamin and mineral deficiencies and supplementation. The B vitamins, magnesium and D3 are all very important to neurological health. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to reverse gluten-induced neurological damage damage if it has gone on for a long time.

      Thanks Trents I'm strict with my gluten-free diet now. I just don't feel any better. I'm going to get tested for vitamins and minerals to see if I need some supplements. For sure I got some damage that doctors call Menier's and the only way they treat it is with medicine that does damage my body more than it helps.

      Thank you Scott for your helpful response! Based on this, would you say someone who is on a gluten-free diet - but not strict about cross-contamination and occasional cheating - and tests negative for tTg-IgA while having normal total IgA is not likely to have celiac, even if they have been 'gluten-free' for years?
    • Scott Adams
      That’s a really insightful observation about antibody testing and the gluten challenge! You’re absolutely right that antibody levels can remain elevated for months or even years after going gluten-free, especially if there’s ongoing cross-contamination or occasional slip-ups. The immune system doesn’t reset overnight—it can take time for antibodies like tTG-IgA to normalize, which is why many doctors recommend waiting at least 6–12 months of strict gluten-free eating before retesting. For someone who’s been gluten-free for less than two years or hasn’t been meticulous about avoiding cross-contact, there’s absolutely a chance they’d still test positive, since even small...

      Thank you for your response! I have considered starting a food diary in the past, I suppose this is as good a time as any to start.
