Soy beans and cross-contamination

My doctor suggested trying soy in its various forms as a way to increase my protein intake. I've found certified gluten free tofu and some other products that I will try beginning this week. I'm hoping it goes well, but I have noticed that the processed soy products (tofu, beverages, tempeh, etc) tend to be quite pricey.

I would like to try buying my own dried soy beans and eating them in a variety of ways. This seems to be the most effective way to do this. The problem here is that, from my understanding, there is a high risk of soy beans being cross-contaminated with wheat. (This is due to many farmers alternating wheat and soy crops in their land, and using the same equipment to harvest etc.)

I live in Canada and am having some difficulty tracking down soy beans that are certified gluten free. I suspect it is a bit easier in the US. Any advice/insight on soy beans and cross-contamination, or certified gluten-free brands that are available in Canada?

      Food Tasting Salty

      By Mnofsinger · Posted

      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?

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      By trents · Posted

      The only vegetable sources of B12 are some fermented bean products using a certain microbiotic culture. It is next to impossible to get adequate B12 from vegetable sources without supplementation. Same with D3. Some mushrooms can make D3 when exposed to UV light. Are you vegetarian or vegan? Do you do dairy and eggs or no animal products at all? Low B12 and D3 could definitely cause or contribute to many of the symptoms you have been experiencing but would not cause celiac disease. It is more likely the other way around, especially if you are a vegetarian eating no animal products. Many of your symptoms seem neurological in nature. It is well known that the B vitamin complex is vital to neurological health but so is D3. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9820561/

      Grain fed cow milk vs 100% Grass fed cow milk

      Russ, can you link an article supporting your assertion that small amounts of gliadin are detectable in human breast milk? Not doubting you but it would be nice to have the whole text for reference.

      Got it. Thanks Scott. I'll set up an appointment with a GI after the holidays and get all the celiac disease screening done. Thanks to this amazing forum and to all who have answered my question, I now know what my next steps are.
