Soy Lecithin

Well I already know that soy makes me sick. I have really been trying to talk myself into the fact that soy lecithin won't bother me.

Wrong. Maybe I can get away with one Sees bordeaux. Although now I'm scared. But that's it. I got a box for Christmas. I apparently can't do 3 one day, and 2 the next day without paying the price for over 24 hours. It felt just like being glutened. Nausea, severe fatigue and muscle weakness.

Will this ever go away? Will the soy intolerance go away? Soy is in flipping everything. I can't find a salad dressing that does not have soy in it. And now I'm supposed to give up See's bordeaux to this stupid disease?

Ugh.

Soy overall, probably not; soy lecithin, maybe. I can do it now. But that's after four years or so.

Well that's better than nothing! I'll take it.

Since my diagnosis 8 1/2 years ago and going gluten-free, I have had to take one food after another out of my diet: corn (which causes me gluten reactions/damage), dairy, soy, beef, pork, sulfites (onions, garlic, brussel sprouts, cabbage, and a hundred others). I can only do very few things with soy lecithin in them. I think it has to do with how the particular soy lecithin is made and if the soy proteins have truly been "processed out." I think my problems all come back to leaky gut so this year, my plan is to go on the extremely limited diet to try to heal it. Hopefully, someday I'll be able to eat like a semi-normal person again. Gluten-free wouldn't be so bad if I could eat all the other things that keep coming out of my safe foods.

It could go away. It did for my daughter but... Now she has a thyroid problem so still has to avoid soy.

Before the thyroid problem, her soy issue went away? Or just soy lecithin?

It took my daughter a year to get all soy back, it may have been sooner but I waited to try it with her since she is young.

Hi Kiki, soy lechitin gives me heart problems (extrasystoles). I also avoid it because of my thyroid disorders, and I am currently making my own pretty much anything. Have you tried looking up recipes to make your own salad dressings et cetera? I never use dressings, but I am pretty sure it can't be impossible to make?

Soy is now officially my worst enemy.

I also like to think that a little soy lectin won't hurt me. And probably a very little of it won't. Like, 2 chocolate chips or something. Maybe.

More than the tiniest bit send my head spinning in minutes. It's not worth the risk.

You can indeed get things without it, though it takes serious hunting, and shelling out more. Get organic dark chocolate, usually the darker the better. Check your local organics store to see what they have. I think some of the Green & Blacks chocolate is ok.

Enjoy Life and Camino dark chocolate chips are soy free.

Salad dressings - get something vinegar based. Again with the organic. Though I just found some vegan and soy-free "cream" dressings. Can't remember the name. Uses a lot of coconut instead. I got the ranch. It's runny, but not bad.

Ask at your local store and maybe they can help. Making your own is also a good idea.

Oh! and soy-sauce substitute: Coconut Aminos. It's made from coconut sap, is a bit sweeter than tamari, but it does the trick.

For me the effects of soy are worse than dairy and, for immediate reaction, almost worse than gluten. It suuucks!

Good luck.

I found a recipe for easy mayo -- so I will try that this weekend. And I found a ranch dressing recipe I will try. :)

Thanks for the tips! I only like milk chocolate, but I can probably live without it. It's just disappointing. I really don't understand why soy is in nearly everything these days.

If you're ok with milk, then there is probably some soy-free milk chocolate out there too.

(If you're ok with milk, then I'm jealous. I miss cheese so much!)

Good luck!

Pegleg84 thank you so much for this. I've finally accepted that I can't have soy anymore, but I love stirfrys. My daughter has decided she's vegetarian now, so stir frys were my go to meal. I'd do tofu for her and meat for her dad and I. I was wondering how this was going to work. I'm going to look for the coconut aminos today. :)

Amen to that! I can deal with giving up milk, yogurt, and ice-cream, but cheese?!? That one is so difficult. And sorry to all you vegans out there, but that vegan cheese is NOT the same.

Look at a good natural foods store, or ask if they can get it. It's a bit pricy, but it's worth it.

      Thank you for the kind words!

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      The rate of damage to the villous lining of the SB and the corresponding loss of nutrient absorbing efficiency varies tremendously from celiac to celiac. Yes, probably is dose dependent if, by dose dependent you mean the amount of exposure to gluten. But damage rates and level of sensitivity also seem to depend on the genetic profile. Those with both genes...

      Help! My 5 year old daughter just stopped eating dairy and gluten due to her EoE and Celiac. Her favorite candy in the world is tootsie rolls. I did some research, and it sounds like these are the only options for finding something similar, but I can't find them anywhere to actually purchase. Have they been discontinued?? Does anyone have another recommendation...

      Thank you for the kind words! I keep thinking that things in the medical community are improving, but a shocking number of people still post here who have already discovered gluten is their issue, and their doctors ordered a blood test and/or endoscopy for celiac disease, yet never mentioned that the protocol for such screening requires them to be eating gluten daily for weeks beforehand. Many have already gone gluten-free during their pre-screening period, thus their test results end up false negative, leaving them confused and sometimes untreated. It is sad that so few doctors attended your workshops, but it doesn't surprise me. It seems like the protocols for any type of screening should just pop up on their computer screens whenever any type of medical test is ordered, not just for celiac disease--such basic technological solutions could actually educate those in the medical community over time.

      The rate of damage to the villous lining of the SB and the corresponding loss of nutrient absorbing efficiency varies tremendously from celiac to celiac. Yes, probably is dose dependent if, by dose dependent you mean the amount of exposure to gluten. But damage rates and level of sensitivity also seem to depend on the genetic profile. Those with both genes HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 seem to be more sensitive to minor amounts of gluten exposure than those with just one of those genes and those with only DQ2 seem to be more sensitive than those with only DQ8. But there are probably many factors that influence the damage rate to the villi as well as intensity of reaction to exposure. There is still a lot we don't know. One of the gray areas is in regard to those who are "silent" celiacs, i.e. those who seem to be asymptomatic or whose symptoms are so minor that they don't garner attention. When they get a small exposure (such as happens in cross contamination) and have no symptoms does that equate to no inflammation? We don't necessarily know. The "sensitive" celiac knows without a doubt, however, when they get exposure from cross contamination and the helps them know better what food products to avoid.
