Soy Problems, Dry Eyes, etc.?

I haven't been officially diagnosed with celiacs, but I don't think I need any kind of test to tell me I have intestinal damage due to foods.  I really watch my intake of dairy, gluten, wheat, (and now, soy).  After 2 years I'm still uncertain about the gluten, since I rarely mess up on that one and it's usually coupled with an ingredient of soy or dairy, leaving me not knowing for sure.  This last episode felt like I had lost a few years of my life.  I had been eating some beef jerky that I had made with gluten free soy. I must have been exhausted because I ate a granola bar with dairy and wheat in it, and I NEVER just eat something without thinking.  I think it was the soy though, because I've had other episodes of a soy and gluten contamination.  Anyways, it happened so fast.  Within 2 minutes, I my upper stomach and intestines (just under my sternum) was in so much pain.  It was hard and swollen.  I started sweating profusely and my back radiates intense pain.   I tried sitting up in a bathroom stall but I couldn't control the pain.  I was so out of my mind with pain I laid on the floor in the bathroom on a nasty dirty concrete floor at a sports arena and someone found me.  I passed out during that time.  I came to on my own and dragged myself to the toilet where I made myself throw it all up and started getting some immediate relief.  I've never passed out before from the pain.  Is there anyone out there that has symptoms like this for soy?  I also have eczema across my eyes and in my ears.  Not sure if it's related too.

I had the same symptoms from gluten.  This is exactly what would happen to me before I was diagnosed with celiac. I was living by myself at the time and would pass out in the living room,  bathroom,  kitchen, etc from the pain.  I would break out in an intense hot cold sweat and be doubled over in so much pain that I would hyperventilate and pass out.  It happened to me at work too,  right before I grabbed a trash can and threw up in it right in front of my boss! :(

      Mucus discharge

      We usually see mucus in the stool in those with undiagnosed celiac disease and those not adhering to a gluten free diet. However, the mucus could also be coming from lower down in the intestinal track. I would seek a physician consult. You might also check into getting a follow-p endoscopy/biopsy on the small bowel to check for healing progress since going...

      Feel Good gluten free chicken soup dumplings

      @ARSTONE, not to be picky because there has been evolution in the terminology with regard to gluten disorders. And the terms "gluten intolerance" and "gluten sensitivity" are still used by some interchangeably. But with time, "gluten intolerance" has become synonymous with celiac disease with "gluten sensitivity" referring to NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity...

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      @Manaan2, You may want to consider switching from Miralax (polyethylene glycol) to magnesium citrate and Thiamine supplements. When I was prescribed Miralax for constipation, I developed worsened gastrointestinal problems, including worsening leaky gut syndrome. Since polyethylene glycol is a synthetic chemical made from petroleum or coal byproducts...

      Mucus discharge

      I don't know if anyone can help. I was diagnosed with celiac last June. Since going gluten free the diarrhea has stopped, in fact things have gone the other way. What is bothering me is the occasional rectal mucus discharge. I have no other symptoms and it doesn't happen very often. As I haven't seen anyone since my diagnosis, I don't know if this is normal...

Having said that, whatever it may be, apparently there is an ingredient in that product that doesn't agree with you.

      @Manaan2, You may want to consider switching from Miralax (polyethylene glycol) to magnesium citrate and Thiamine supplements.   When I was prescribed Miralax for constipation, I developed worsened gastrointestinal problems, including worsening leaky gut syndrome.  Since polyethylene glycol is a synthetic chemical made from petroleum or coal byproducts, I was uncomfortable with that.   Miralax can cause poor vitamin absorption, flushing vitamins and minerals away before they can be absorbed.  Miralax can cause electrolyte imbalances, meaning low magnesium.  Low magnesium levels can cause constipation.  Low Thiamine Vitamin B1 can cause constipation as well.  Magnesium and Thiamine work together to make life sustaining enzymes.  Without sufficient thiamine and magnesium, the gastrointestinal tract slows down resulting in constipation, a sort of catch twenty-two.   I quit taking Miralax.  I took a form of Thiamine, Benfotiamine 250-300 mg, at the beginning of every meal and 200mg magnesium citrate or magnesium glycinate or magnesium l-threonate (Neuromag) at the end of every meal.  My constipation resolved quickly.  When my stool got too loose, I simply reduced the amount of magnesium.  I did not reduce Benfotiamine which has been shown to promote intestinal health and reduce leaky gut syndrome.  If thiamine at night gives too much energy to fall asleep at night, skip the Benfotiamine at the last evening meal. Blood tests ate not accurate measures of vitamin sufficiency.  The best way to check for Thiamine insufficiency is to take it and look for health improvement within a few days.  Thiamine is water soluble, easily excreted in urine if not needed.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic when used in high doses.  No harm in trying, just to rule this out.   Best wishes.  Do keep us posted on your daughter's progress!
