It is ok as long as your child does not have an intolerance or an allergy to soy. My son likes the rice milk.

I'd pretty much say the two are about equal.....

They are both probably good to give up.... but also its not like gluten in that cutting down is also useful.. at least until you actually provoke a full blown intolerance....

My personal opinion... is since so many celiuacs do develop intolerances to them both... I take them in extreme moderation...soy more than milk simply because I love cheese.... I fugure if Im going to have one or the other I might as well really enjoy it...

but overall I try and limit my intake of both....

If I go for sushi I'll take my gluten-free soy ,,, (also it seems fermented soy like sauce/tofu) is less bad...

If your posting this in response to anothe rpost of mine then you should of course wait for other opinions because that is all this really is... there is lots of evidence for celiacs developing dairy and soy intolerances and its generally believed that eating a LOT of a potential intolerant food can provoke an intolerance... so I just try and keep neither as a major source of protein/nourishment in my diet...

Unfermented soy is extremely unhealthy. Rice milk (not rice dream, it has barley) or almond milk would be better choices. Here is a good link to find out more about soy. Open Original Shared Link

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By trents · Posted

      @KRipple, thank you for the lab results from your husband's celiac disease blood antibody testing. The lab result you share would seem to be the tTG-IGA (Tissue Transglutaminase IGA) and the test result is in excess of 10x normal. This is significant as there is an increasing tendency for physicians to grant a celiac disease diagnosis on the basis of antibody testing alone when the scores on that particular test exceed 10x normal. This trend started in the UK during the COVID pandemic when there was tremendous pressure on the medical system over there and it has spread to the USA. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing. All this to say that some doctors would grant a celiac disease diagnosis on your husband's bloodwork alone and not feel a need to go forward with an endoscopy with biopsy. This is something you and your husband might wish to take up with his physicians. In view of his many health issues it might be wise to avoid any further damage to his small bowel lining by the continuing consumption of gluten and also to allow healing of such to progress. The lining of the small bowel is the place where essentially all of our nutrition is absorbed. This is why celiac disease when it is not addressed with a gluten free diet for many years typically results in additional health problems that are tied to nutritional deficiencies. The millions and millions of tiny finger-like projections that make up the nutrient absorbing surface of the small bowel lining are worn down by the constant inflammation from gluten consumption. In celiac disease, the immune system has been tricked into labeling gluten as an invader. As these finger-like projections are worn down, the efficiency of nutrient absorption becomes more and more compromised.

      Thank you so much! And sorry for not responding sooner. I've been scouring the hospital records and can find nothing other than the following results (no lab info provided): Component Transglutaminase IgA   Normal Range: 0 - 15.0 U/mL >250.0 U/mL High   We live in Olympia, WA and I will be calling University of Washington Hospital - Roosevelt in Seattle first thing tomorrow. They seem to be the most knowledgeable about complex endocrine issues like APS 2 (and perhaps the dynamics of how APS 2 and Celiacs can affect each other). His diarrhea has not abated even without eating gluten, but that could be a presentation of either Celiac's or Addison's. So complicated. We don't have a date for endoscopy yet. I will let my husband know about resuming gluten.    Again, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with me!

      Hi Phosphone, did you ever figure out what elevated your DGP?  I am in the same boat.

      Scott makes a good point about the prednisone. It has a general suppressing effect on the immune system. Don't misunderstand me. In view of your husband's several autoimmune afflictions, it would seem to be an appropriate medication therapy but it will likely invalidate endoscopy/biopsy test results for celiac disease.
