Anyone Else With Soy Allergy....

I ate some chick peas (garbanzo beans) for the first time in years yesterday and I had a major asthma attack and I almost passed out. I know it was an allergic reaction. Could I be allergic to other beans because of my soy allergy?

I don't know if it is because of the soy beans but I am allergic (per test) to kidney and navy beans as well.

My hubby is allergic to pinto beans by reaction. He hasn't had any allergy tests done. A doctor we talked to said pinto beans are pretty allergenic.

We still plan on trying garbanzo, black and red beans again and see if we need to leave the whole family or not. (As in bean family) :lol: We also want to try lentils again although we don't remember those being a problem.

I'll try to make hummus soon and let you know how we turn out. :unsure:

Just mentioned this to hubby, he's not sure we even need to try anymore beans. :unsure:

you might be sensitive to legumes, in that case, chickpeas and soybeans are both from that family.

I just figured out that i am intolerant of ALL legumes- soy, peanuts, beans of any kind so yep, chickpeas would be out for me. i get mostly stomach symptoms and it throws my fibromyalgia pain through the roof but I also noticed I think that they make my mouth burn. I'm not allergic (I was tested) but I'm staying away.

I cannot have chickpeas, soy, and just figured out peas. I can eat green beans but have been afraid to try any other beans, which really isn't that hard for me since I rarely ate them before - only the chickpeas for humus. I sometimes miss them in chili but do without fine.

I am allergic to all beans - highly allergic to soy

(reactions are - asthma attack with

swelling and hives - no fun!)

I just stay away from them all..... which is one

of the many reasons that I rarely eat processed foods! B)

Shai- I hope you're feeling better- asthma attacks are so scary!

So far, I've only had problems with soy. I hope that you feel better soon, because I know how misrable asthma attacks are.

Thanks. I feel better now. I found I can eat kidney beans.

My son gets real bloated and gassy from soy and other legumes. It'smore of an intolerance for him, but I keep him completely away from it now.

      Welcome to the forum, @llisa! If you are near a Costco, their Kirkland Signature brand, Nature Made and others are often gluten free and, if so, will state so on the packaging. They are economically priced as well.

      Looking for gluten free multi-vitamin for 70-year-old woman. Also D3, Calcium, and B complex. Thank you.

      @Milarynn,  Welcome to the forum!   Many undiagnosed, untreated Celiac Disease patients have vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  Be sure to have your Vitamin D level checked.  Vitamin D helps prevent bone loss, including loss from the jaw and teeth.   Magnesium and calcium are both important to bone health as well.  Magnesium helps keep the calcium from leaving your bones.  Magnesium helps make life sustaining enzymes with Thiamine Vitamin B1.  Low Magnesium and/or low Thiamine results in muscle cramping.   Thiamine deficiency is found in Pre-diabetes and Diabetes.  Poor absorption of the eight water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C are found in Celiac Disease.  Insufficient Vitamin C can cause poor oral health, resulting in poor gum health such as receding and bleeding gums.  Vitamin C is needed to fight bacteria that cause plaque which causes cavities.  Vitamin C helps rebuild tooth enamel.   I've had jaw muscle cramping, TMJ problems, tooth loss and gum problems.  Do talk to your dentist about having Celiac Disease.  Practice good oral hygiene.  I'm also Diabetic and take Benfotiamine (a form of Thiamine) that helps regulate blood glucose and heal the intestines. Do keep us posted on your test results and your progress!

      Milaryrnn, your post is confusing. First, your celiac disease antibody testing is negative. By any chance had you already been on a gluten free diet before the blood draw for these tests was done? That would result in negative antibody testing even if you had celiac disease. Or, had you previously been diagnosed with celiac disease and had the antibody testing done to check for compliance with the gluten free diet? Second, DNA testing cannot be used to confirm celiac disease. 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop active celiac disease but only about 1% of the population actually develops active celiac disease. It takes both the genetic potential and some triggering biological stress event in order to develop active celiac disease. Otherwise, the genes remain inactive. High lipase levels would indicate some problem with your pancreas.

      Thanks, yes, I've gone back and forth.  There is a lot of autoimmune disease in my family, so primarily I was thinking a real diagnosis might be helpful for other family members -- especially as I have two young biological nephews.  I feel like I am at a crossroads, where if I'm going to test now would be the time, since I've been in a less-than-perfect eating period.  I'm either going to just going to use what I've learned in these last few months to purposely never cheat again (obviously there is the accidental glutening situations) or test first, and then do that.  I don't need an official diagnosis so much that if I'm doing well I'm going to sabotage that by then starting to eat gluten again. I'm so glad you said this.  Even from what I've read so far, it makes sense to me that this is a misconception.  But growing up with all kinds of allergies, I can see how, as for the general population it's just easier for everyone to simplify it down to a type of "allergy," people would assume this.  It's just how most people look at allergies and diets and gluten avoidance has been painted as both.  I even see it in my journey to date, when I say I want a gluten free selection at a restaurant and I am asked "is it an allergy?" and it is so much easier just to say yes (even if the answer is actually well, no, it's autoimmune).  Because the "yes" answer is the "this is serious" answer.
