Don't Understand Dairy/estrogen/soy

Recommended Posts

So I've been mostly gluten free since November, and completely gluten free for the past couple months. Earlier this week I decided to cut out dairy as well, since my daughter is intolerant to dairy, and I really feel I have an addiction to it. Since going gluten free, I experienced much better periods- less pain and cramping, more regular cycle, etc. This week, however, I have started to have breast soreness (like I remember having in beginning pregnancy). I looked it up online, and it seems this is a common thing that happens to women mid-cycle, and it is caused by estrogen. I have also been feeling nauseous- also something that is caused by estrogen, which I experienced when I used to take the pill. So my question is, shouldn't my estrogen levels be LOWER if I am no longer consuming gluten or dairy? I am using some soy milk, but not much. I have a splash in my coffee and I use it in my cereal bowl, but I haven't been cooking with it or drinking it by the glass. Besides, I used to drink chocolate soy milk all the time with no noticeable effect. Is this hormonal change a gluten issue or a dairy issue? And why would it mimic higher estrogen levels? I am not pregnant and I am not anywhere near menopause.

Edit: It gets stranger, I just read a medical journal article that said soy REDUCES breast tenderness. I don't understand.

I am not certain that food intolerances can cause breast tenderness, but is it possible that you are entering a perimenopausal phase. I began at 35, which lasted a good ten years, much before I was symtomatic for Celiac.

...just a though. ;)

I just found this old thread that may answer my question. Looks like going gluten free causes breast tenderness for some people...

      In what way? Skinese:  You paid for it, might as well try.  They are the usual mix and is gluten free. "Free of milk/casein, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, gluten, and soybeans. Contains no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives."   Are you using whole milk yogurt or the no fat yogurt.  The no fat has varius ingrediEnts to mimic fats texture but some people react to the  gums used.   Sibo: Foods that do not contain carbohydrates or fiber do not usually cause problems. This includes meats (beef, pork, lamb, venison); poultry (chicken, turkey, duck); fish and shellfish; eggs; and butter, oils, and hard cheeses. Stonyfield Whole milk yogert, I think, is the only one with lactase for lactose intolerance.  Naturally Fermented Pickles [The Complete Guide] For your skin health you need dietary iodine intake around 500 to 1000 micrograms a day.  I take Liquid Iodine 500 mcg a day.  It is the amount I ate daily in the 1960/s before they stopped using it in bread.  Since 1970 the daily intake of iodine has decrease 50%.  50 mcg/drop in the brand I use.  The dose used to prove Wolff-Chaikoff Effect was upwards of 11 grams The USDA lists the safe range from 125 mcg to 1000 mcg (1 gram).  Japanese say 3000 mcg is safe.  Look at tradition japanese hair, skin, and their childrens intellegence.  They must be doing something more right than us.

      FASANO DIET - not Dasani. For some reason, it is not allowing me to edit my post.

      Yes, she should be eating lots of gluten daily...4 slices of wheat bread would be ideal for the screenings.

      Hello,  I cant get my daughter's TTG IGA antibodies to drop into the normal range. A bit of the backstory : both my kids were diagnosed in July of 2023. Both were >250 at diagnosis.  My son went from >250 July 2023  to 33 Nov 2023  to 15.7 July 2024. With <15 being negative. He is almost there.  My daughter went >250 July 2023 to 66.3 Dec 2023 to 31.7 July 2024 to now back up to 35.6.  We are a fully gluten free house and we do not eat out AT ALL in any restaurants other than one dedicated gluten-free bakery. We don't eat any oats. She takes anti epileptic drugs / vitamins so we are double checking all medications and supplements. One medication says they should be gluten free but cant guarantee excipients aren't contaminated so we will be changing that one to a different manufacturer.   Feeling a little worried that her levels are worse and we cant get her into the normal range. We are thinking about cutting dairy or doing the Dasani diet. She doesnt eat a crazy amount of processed food and what she has in gluten free certified and not made in shared lines but maybe we should cut it all out until her levels drop? Any other advice? We will check all personal products also, but we believe everything is gluten free. My son is away at school so trying to figure out what she does and eats that he doesnt. Chickpeas (canned), dairy (he doesnt eat much dairy due to acne) and of course her medications.   Thank you for any input you may have.

      She finally has her appointment today. They said in their opinion it’s likely celiac. But repeated the bloodwork today. Her frost bloodwork was weak positive 5.3 (4-10 is a weak positive) Dr wanted her own labs. And they will be calling us to schedule the endoscopy.  They told her to keep Eating gluten. She has been eating is again for the last couple weeks.
