Soy Lecithin ?

I know many people who can't have gluten also can't have other things (like soy, corn, dairy).  I have been trying to avoid soy lately.  I saw something online mentioning that even if you can't eat soy, that you can eat things with soy lecithin in it.  Anyone here not able to eat soy, but are okay with things that include soy lecithin? (I feel so confused today, I can't stand it, lol.)

YEP. Soy milk, soy protein, plain soy...I get really bad cramping, gas. Soy lecitin, in supplements, protein powders, or in food additives has never bothered me at all....and I am sensitive to the most random things.

Thanks so much for letting me know.  Okay, that is one ingredient I can handle then.  Yay! Now to remember what products had it that I can now eat.

Don't rejoice so fast.  One man's meat is another man's poison! 

Everyone's body reacts differently to certain things so tread carefully. 

I don't do soy, soy Lecitin, corn, high fructose corn syrup  etc.

If you are celiac,  look for organic foods that don't  contain alot of artificial preserves.

You have a good point there.  Ennis just seems to be very sensitive so I was thinking maybe there was indeed something to that article I read saying soy lecithin tends to not bother a lot of people.  But we all are different. I don't have celiac, but am gluten sensitive.  All of a sudden I started getting long term fever, stomach pain, stomach distention.  My stomach started getting better at one point, after I had given up gluten about two months or so.  And I was still eating some ingredients that have corn and soy.  I was looking back at my food journal and the best few weeks I had, we had cooked BBQ chicken with a gluten free sauce, but I believe it had corn syrup in it. And I ate some mayo a few times that had soy in it, and the magnesium I take has the soy lecithin.  But then I started adding more foods and started having trouble again.  Fiber seemed to make me bloat too, and my dr had given me a list for IBS, with foods to avoid, but then another dr told me they didn't think that was the issue, and it was all gluten, and in a few more months I should feel improvement.  It has been very confusing.

      Being a burden to family/friends

      Interesting you mention MCAS. I have come across mcas before but I wasn’t entirely sure if that’s what it was. When I eat certain food like dairy or soy my face gets so hot and I feel flush and my heart rate shoot’s up. And sometimes my bottom lip swells or I get hives somewhere. This started happening after I had a really bad case of Covid. Before that ...

      Years of testing - no real answers

      This is all really useful information, thank you so much to you both. I have a history of B12 and vit D deficiency which has always just been treated and then ignored until it’s now again.

      9 Year Old test results - help interpret

      Welcome to the forum, @Gill.brittany8! There are two main genes that have been identified as creating potential for developing celiac disease, HLDQ2 and HLDQ8. Your daughter has one of them. So, she possesses genetic the potential to develop celiac disease. About 40% of the general population carries one or both of these genes but only about 1% of the...

      9 Year Old test results - help interpret

      Hi everyone After years of stomach issues being ignored by doctors, my 9 y/o daughter finally had an upper endoscopy which showed a ton of stomach inflammation. The GI doctor ordered some bloodwork and I’m attaching the results here. Part will be from the CBC and the other is celiac specific. I’m not sure what’s relevant so I’m just including extra i...

      Food Tasting Salty

      Those are great points and some follow up thoughts and ideas. I think you're both stating the same thing in two different ways, but I appreciate the "accuracy" of what you're getting to. 1. Are you both stating that the "too salty of a taste" could be triggered by a histamine reaction, and the flavor is coming from the electrolytes? If...

This started happening after I had a really bad case of Covid.  Before that I was able to eat all those things (minus gluten) I was diagnosed with celiac way before I had Covid.  Hmm, not sure really. I may look for a different allergist my current one told me to take Zyrtec and gave me an epi pen.

      Welcome to the forum, @Gill.brittany8! There are two main genes that have been identified as creating potential for developing celiac disease, HLDQ2 and HLDQ8. Your daughter has one of them. So, she possesses genetic the potential to develop celiac disease. About 40% of the general population carries one or both of these genes but only about 1% of the general population develops celiac disease. It takes both the genetic potential and some kind of triggering stress factor (e.g., a viral infection or another prolonged health problem or an environmental factor) to "turn on" the gene or genes. Unfortunately, your daughter's doctor ordered a very minimal celiac antibody panel, the tTG-IGA and total IGA. Total IGA is not even a test per celiac disease per se but is a check for IGA deficiency. If the person being checked for celiac disease is IGA deficient, then the scores for individual IGA tests (such as the tTG-IGA) will be abnormally low and false negatives can often be the result. However, your daughter's total IGA score shows she is not IGA deficient. You should consider asking our physician for a more complete celiac panel including DGP-IGA, TTG_IGG and DGP-IGG. If she had been avoiding gluten that can also create false negative test results as valid antibody testing requires having been consuming generous amounts of gluten for weeks leading up to the blood draw. Do you know if the GI doc who did the upper GI took biopsies of the duodenum and the duodenum bulb to check for the damage to the small bowel lining caused by celiac disease? Having said all that, her standard blood work shows evidence of possible celiac disease because of an elevated liver enzyme (Alkaline Phosphatase) and low values for hemoglobin.

      Hi everyone  After years of stomach issues being ignored by doctors, my 9 y/o daughter finally had an upper endoscopy which showed a ton of stomach inflammation. The GI doctor ordered some bloodwork and I’m attaching the results here. Part will be from the CBC and the other is celiac specific. I’m not sure what’s relevant so I’m just including extra information just in case.   The results are confusing because they say “No serological evidence of celiac disease. tTG IgA may normalize in individuals with celiac disease who maintain a gluten-free diet. Consider HLA DQ2 and DQ8 testing to rule out celiac disease.” But just a few lines down, it says DQ2 positive. Can someone help make sense of this? Thanks so much.  result images here: https://ibb.co/WFkF0fm https://ibb.co/kHvX7pC https://ibb.co/crhYp2h https://ibb.co/fGYFygQ

      Those are great points and some follow up thoughts and ideas. I think you're both stating the same thing in two different ways, but I appreciate the "accuracy" of what you're getting to.   1. Are you both stating that the "too salty of a taste" could be triggered by a histamine reaction, and the flavor is coming from the electrolytes? If that is the case, wouldn't the individuals mouth always be salty during a "Glutening" situation, or are we saying that the person could get "use to the flavor" until introducing food or beverage and that could be enough to "stir the pot" and notice the salty flavor? 2. To push back on "#1": If that were true anyone with issues of histamine releasing foods/treatments would experience the same thing. Also, I did not experience a situation where most beverages were "too salty". Thoughts?
