Confused About Soy

I'm finding conflicting information. Soy isn't on the list that the Doctor's office gave us however, I have found on a number of sites that soy is listed as a no no. On others isn't listed at all. Soooo in what form, if any, is soy safe? Soybean Oils? Soy Flour? Tofu? Just curious because I'm very confused.

Soy in general is safe for Celiacs. However, many Celiacs also have other intolerances, some of which are soy related.

Hi Jamie,

From a gluten standpoint, soy is perfectly safe. Soybean flour and oils are fine.

There are people who react to soy, but that's because they have an intolerance to it--not because it contains gluten. :)

So I can continue to cook with soy products providing they don't have any other banned ingrediants, yes? This certainly opens up more salad dressings, it's tough to find one without soybean oil! Thanks so much. I know I'll ask a ton of questions but one day DH and I will get this down.

Soy SAUCE isn't gluten free, with a few exceptions. Most soy sauce is made with wheat and soy.

Luckily one of the mainstream brands (La Choy) is gluten-free. Other than that, I think it's only one or two others that are gluten-free. My favorite is San-J Wheat-Free Tamari. I think it tastes a lot like Kikkoman.

      Certified gluten free oats

      By trents · Posted

      Your doctor may or may not be well-informed about the issue you raise so I would not agree that he/she would necessarily be the best person to rely on for a good answer. The question actually raises two issues.  The first issue has to do with cross contamination and individual sensitivity as dublin55 alluded to. Oats and wheat are both cereal grains that are typically grown in the same areas, transported in the same trucks, stored in the same silos and processed on the same equipment. So, there is usually significant CC (Cross Contamination). With gluten free oats, there is some effort to separate these processes that would otherwise cause significant CC and "gluten free" oats should meet the FDA requirement of not exceeding 20 ppm of gluten. But this 22 ppm standard is not strict enough for more sensitive celiacs. "Certified gluten free" oats (and other food products are held to a stricter standard, that being not exceeding 10 ppm. But even that is too much gluten for some super sensitive celiacs and will cause a reaction. The second issue with oats has nothing to do with gluten per se but with the protein found in oats called "avenin". Avenin has a structure similar enough to gluten to cause a reaction in some celiacs. This is called "cross reaction" not to be confused with "cross contamination" discussed in the previous paragraph. So, for whatever reason, whether cross contamination or cross reaction, it is estimated that about 10% of celiacs react to oats.

      Getting rid of the belly bloat

      By dublin555 · Posted

      Karen, that sounds really tough. You must find both RA management and your new gut problems extremely irritating to handle at once. Together with your pain relief you still experience ongoing bloating complications that drag on without a resolution. Of course visiting a doctor to obtain a proper celiac diagnostic evaluation becomes necessary when no formal diagnosis has been received. Your journey toward recovery has been lengthy yet it brings comfort to notice your progress during this time. This support group offers you valuable help because there are people experiencing the same concerns with you. Working through your issues will be easier.

      Certified gluten free oats

      Yeah, it’s tricky. I’ve seen a lot of mixed opinions too. Some folks can tolerate certified gluten-free oats without a problem, but others with celiac still react. Honestly, it really depends on your sensitivity. Your doctor would be the best person to ask about your specific situation.

      Can gallbladder issues cause symptoms of celiac disease?

      I can't edit my posts, but I forgot to note as well: I also had low iron and vitamin d according to my blood tests, despite already taking supplements for each
