I have been soy free for about 6 months. I would like to reintroduce soy to determine if I am soy intolerent. What foods should I choose and how is the best way to do this?

I don't know the technical answer to the question, but if it were me, I'd probably try something with a little bit of soy first, but I'm biased because I want to drink Blue Diamond almost milk. ;) Chocolate soy milk?

Good luck! Please let us know how you make out. I want to believe in 6 months I can eat it.

Thank you Offgrid. I will look into starting with a small amount of soy milk.

If you want to go slowly, start with a chocolate bar that has soy lecithin in it. If no reaction, try something with soybean oil in it - like a salad dressing. Then maybe move up to Ener-G pretzels or Mi-Del cookies that have soy flour in them. Then try something "pure" like soy milk or tofu. If you go slowly, you might discover that you can tolerate small amounts like the soy lecithin and oil, but just not the larger amounts. Although hopefully you'll be able to tolerate all of it!

Lonewolf, thank you for your reply. I think I will follow your suggestion and start small. I will look at WholeFoods this weekend and look for a gluten free product that has no risk of cross contimination and a very small amount of soy lethicin.

      Chronic mildly elevated liver enzymes was what eventually led to my celiac diagnosis but it took thirteen years to ferret that out and by that time I had developed osteopenia.  Yes, you've got a lot going on there in the way of autoimmune disorders and all of them we now know have a connection with celiac disease. It is true that autoimmune disorders tend to cluster. But it sounds like you are getting medical attention and keeping an eye on things.

      Thank you! Yes, I have celiac disease, lupus and Sjögrens. My ALT and AST have been chronically slightly elevated for a couple years and recently had an acute kidney injury (thinking it was from an antibiotic) with increased Lipase. So my primary doctor referred me to a kidney specialist. Other kidney labs are normal.

      Waiting on Blood test results…

      By ChrisSeth · Posted

      My test results for TissueTransglutaminase IgA Antibody test came back normal. Like spot on normal. I do not have celiac! My problems are stemming from this H Pylori infection. I think I’ve had it for years. We’ll see if the doctor wants to do an endoscopy to see how extensive the damage is. Otherwise just a regimen of antibiotics will do the trick. The thanks for your guys’s help!

      Reaction to gluten or gastro bug?

      By Beck1430 · Posted

      Thank you both so much for taking the time to reply.    Cristiana - yes the rashes seemed to resolve when he came off gluten too. I haven’t seen those pictures before, thanks for pointing me to them. I’d say his rash isn’t like the more severe photos which are scabbed and very bumpy. His rash is more like lots and lots of patches of eczema than spots. No we have no celiac in the family to my knowledge, though my mum and sister both have autoimmune diseases and wheat sensitivity. I think you’re right and I’ll have to do another trial to confirm if it was the wheat. I’ve been hoping all day that I come down with the bug to rule out the wheat reaction! But the rest of the family are absolutely fine.    Trents - thank you for the info regarding the genes. That’s very interesting and I’d definitely consider doing that as a way to rule it out without putting him back on wheat. I also didn’t know celiacs were commonly intolerant to dairy and soy. I think you’re right and there is definitely enough factors to show something is going on. I think I’ll do a repeat trial of the wheat challenge and if he reacts again I shall look into the genetic testing.    Thank you both so much for your time. Becky
