Soy Lecithin Test?

I had a big enough problem w/ soy that I haven't wanted to even TRY soy lecithin, tho I've heard of many for whom soy is off-limits & soy lecithin is fine, since it's not supposed to have any soy protein in it.

Yesterday I found a vitamin I wanted to take but rejected it due to soy lecithin.

My question is this:

Does anyone know of a Gluten-free Casein-free product w/ a LARGE amount of soy lecithin in it?

(I have seen that I can buy a bottle of the stuff, but I'd rather actually eat something)

I just don't want to do the test w/ something that has such a minute amount as to not cause a reaction, leading me to think it's ok, only to find out much later I should've stayed away from the lecithin.

Thanks!! :)

I suppose you could add a bunch of the granules to something, like a smoothie. But I wonder if there might be a difference in any reaction between the GMO and non-GMO variety.

Hi Tom--

I've never seen anything that has more than a very small amount of soy lecithin....it's always one of the very last ingredients I think because of what they use it for (emulsifying).

I think the only way to try a bunch of it would be to buy it separately. :)

I would have to agree with Patti, soy lecithin is usually used in products in a small quantity.

You can buy a package of soy lecithin granules in bulk at the health food store for around $1

Ahhhhhhhh yes!! Great idea. :)

That'll probably be the way to go.

I wonder what I'll put it in. A little when I make salad dressing comes to mind, tho I emulsify just fine already, thank you.

Maybe I can just test it straight.

Have you tried it yet? I'm curious how your experiment turned out!

So, are there many people that do OK with soya lechithin but can't handle soy? Hubby seems to have a problem, but I am wonderign what the difference is? Thanks!

I have tried soy lecithin and had a reaction to it. I have psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and coeliac. I started taking the soy lecithin as I thought it might help the psoriasis and my feet are burning and my toes are inflamed. I was also taking flax seed. Anyone have any information on these products as I don't think I have eaten anything else to cause this reaction. My psoriatic arthritis is normally stable as long as I stay completely gluten-free.

:huh:

I forgot to say I had stopped dairy and started taking soya milk without any bad reaction.

Well, there seems to be a few variables here. The advice of many is to try only one new thing at any given time, and wait several days to see how you feel. Any one of the things you've been trying recently might be a culprit. On the lecithin, I guess I'd suggest trying sunflower lecithin (unless you are allergic).

Also, make sure the soy milk is gluten-free. Some products say gluten-free even when there's a small amount present, so it's always a good idea to look over the label carefully, and also check the company website and/or email them.

Are you taking any supplements? I'm sure there are a number of things which can help with burning feet. Here's the first thing that came up on Google for burning feet:

Try using PAM cooking spray. I think soy lecithin is the second ingredient listed on the label.

      I am having a very hard time with foods calling themselves "Gluten Free" but in reading ingredients are not safe, cross contamination

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Mary Miller A! May I ask, you say you are new to this online community but how long ago were you diagnosed as having celiac disease? You seem to have a good awareness of cross contamination issues but have you considered cross reactivity issues? Some of your cross contamination concerns should be addressed by FDA disclosure regulations having been put in place in recent years that require disclosure of the source of ingredients such as "modified food starch" and "natural flavorings" when they are made from any of the nine FDA recognized major allergens, wheat being one of the nine.

      New and Frustrated

      So I’m back. Sorry for delay this has been a very expensive exhausting experience that I feel is still not resolved. So the reason for the B-12 issue is. Doctor tested me for alpha gal my test came back positive but numbers weren’t high enough for doctors. Meaning allergist., family doctor to think I should be having this kind of reaction. So there for the B-12 vitamins I was taking was a gummie form. So st this time thinking it’s the alpha gal I had to stop everything that was gelatin, anything that couldn’t swim or fly. The ingredients in things. So I’ve done this I’ve cleaned my system and things were getting better. I’m still scared from the hives that broke out all over the upper part of my body from trunk up. Scaring is on stomach and back area in some places. So any how I had allergy test done doctor said I wasn’t allergic to wheat that I was fine to eat gluten. So I still avoided gluten just to make sure. Well around Christmas I thought maybe I could try a little dessert so I did and I could tell over time it was making me tired but it was so good. So time went on and I tried natures own butter bread as toast with my eggs. That was ok couldn’t really tell anything so I thought darn I might be ok. So I’m eating regular instant oatmeal packs the cinnamon spice. Soon as I finished it my stomach was killing me. The day before I had the same thing but didn’t notice this like this time I ate it. But I did notice a burning itchy area on my left shoulder like collar bone area. Well it’s still there . So it’s same kind of spot that I broke out in prior at the beginning of all this. Now I’m confused my test for celiac which was blood test was negative. My allergist told me he believed I had a major health problem going on that could either be a form of cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, or my hypothyroidism was messed up. So had blood test done for rheumatoid arthritis that came back negative. My thyroid numbers were good I’m on levothyroxine for that. And nothing else was done so left it at alpha gal. Could this still be celiac.

      I am new here.  I am really totally frustrated by trying to be as gluten free as possible, only to find out that products being called "gluten free" have serious ingredients that need clarification (like Methocellulose) which can be derived from wheat shafts, "yeast extract" which can be grown on wheat, rye or barley, and issues with companies that claim they are making "wheat free bread in a facility that can cross contaminate because they mostly make wheat bread.  I remember about a month ago reading from the Celiac's Foundation a paper regarding how it is virtually impossible to be "gluten free" (https://celiac.org/gluten-impossible-to-avoid-for-most-people-study-shows/).  And here I am again, with a basketball sized stomach (even when laying down), and frustrated beyond belief.  How do we do this? How do we fix this?  Is it even possible, to fix our diet to be without any possible small grain of gluten in our system?  It's hard emotionally, (not to mention physically;  the gassiness, the bloating, and certainly back door incontinence, as well as gastric problems and lack of nutrition, etc.  How do we fare when we don't even have doctors to advice us in small communities where "celiac's doesn't exist."  I am tired.  Anyone else?

      Still testing positive after being gluten free for one year ?!!

      By Jenn D · Posted

      Hi. Did your ema levels ever go negative? My son is 2 years in gluten free and they are still positive.  I'm scared he has refractory celiac disease. Please if anyone has any info greatly appreciate it. His ttg is 3 which is considered normal.

      Not sure if this is Celiac or just a gluten-free intolerance

      By MomofGF · Posted

      I will have that info soon but it was a laundry list of a test and 9 viles. ok so there were some days she was gluten she barely ate because of the reactions. I told her 3 weeks of atleast 10g’s a day and no gluten-free days. Thanks so much for your help! I didn’t know my suggestion for gluten-free days would have hurt her.    I will come back with the list to make sure the req was proper!!
