Soy- For Those Who Cant Tolerate

So I stay away from soy as much as possible. Not only because it causes me digestive problems, mostly bloating and gas, but also because the whole "soy is healthy" thing really angers me. Don't get me wrong, I am a person who used to drink soymilk everyday! - if only I knew I was killing myself! :lol: and then add in the whole thing with companies like Monsanto...yeah, I'm not even going to get started...

but my question is:

for those of you who cant tolerate soy or can only tolerate small amounts, is soybean oil just as bad as say soy licithin (sorry spelling) or soy protien for you? I'm not talking using it for frying, but just the amount that is found in almost everything it seems, like mayo, dressings, etc...

I've been buying wegmans tuna that is packed in nothing but water b/c all other tuna's are packed in vegatable broth AKA SOY- GGRR! well, a friend gave me some canned foods last week and in it was tuna-the stuff with nasty veggy broth. I thought, ok, well, I'll try it....OMG all I tasted when I ate it was soy!!!! so gross!!!!! and then my stomach blew up like a balloon and I woke up the next day with a puffy face and water retention. NOt to mention I was naucous the whole day I ate it :( its like PMS. everytime I have soy!!! I noticed that hellmans mayo is bothering me to....I normally dont eat this stuff, but on occasion when I make something for family, like today I made noodle salad to bring to my mom's tomarrow. I tried a little while making it and I feel like a soy reaction is coming on again, the only soy in it is the soybean oil in the mayo :(

do they sell mayo w/o soy??? I dont even buy mayo for myself unless I'm cooking for others....I'm on a whole food siet for the most part...

sorry...I'm rambling on....and on....I'm just frustrated with this world and its food that is all artificial, GMO.... and we are cultivating and harvesting grains and things we werent even designed to digest!!!!! UGH!!!!!! and its so hard to get away from it. you think you are doing something healthy by eating lotss of fruits and veggies, only to find out they are GMO or sprayed with crap, coated in whatever, and soaking up unnatural subtances from the environment they grow in thanks to everything being polluted. I wonder if anything is truly organic anymore? even if it says "organic"....

ok I'm done...I sware :)

I know. Soy and corn the worst! I think Spectrum makes a soy-free mayo (I think it's one of the Canolas). The only other ones I've seen are only available during passover.

After going to an allergist I found out I was allergic to corn, soy, and tomatoes. I've always hated soy. And corn. I've read things saying it's not good for anyone. And those corn syrup commercials saying it's not bad,...YES IT IS. Actual sugar is sooo much better for everyone. The problem is it's so cheap they use it instead. Then try to say it's not unhealthy and it comes from corn. That's bull because it's so processed it's barely even corn anymore.

Basically I also hate corn and soy.

I also have issues with soy. It seems that is in as much stuff as gluten is and it does make it hard. Hellmans has recently come out with a canola based mayo that isn't too bad.

For me the oil is a bad as the flour but I do seem to tolerate the lecithin without too much of an issue. Wegmans does have a soy free tuna, it is in a blue can with a label that reads 'Light Yellowfin Tuna in water' Low sodium no HVP, I also found Natural Sea tuna at my local health food store that is also just tuna and water and in addition Starkist makes a soy free tuna, although I can't always find it, that is just tuna and water also.

I can't do soybean oil either, it doesn't seem to affect me as much, but it still makes me feel kind of yuck... I've had to give up Chipotle because of it.

I seem to tolerate the lecithin pretty well, too. Seems like I remember even reading something about why people can tolerate soy lecithin when they cannot tolerate soy products, but I can't remember where or why. I'll have to see if I can find it one of these days.

      Celiac Test Results - Thoughts?

      The IGA tests 5 years ago were: Transglutaminase IGA (EMY IGA) (CENT-tTG), <2 Immunoglobulin A (CENT-IGA), 246 IgA Quantitative was done last month, that was 261. Is that the one you mean?

      Celiac Test Results - Thoughts?

      When you say a GI doc did an IGA five years ago and it was negative, which IGA measure do you speak of. There are several possibilities. Do you refer to the tTG-IGA? Have you had a total IGA test done? It isn't a test for celiac per se but can establish whether or not you are IGA deficient. If you are IGA deficient, it will drive individual IGA test...

      This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests...

      Celiac Test Results - Thoughts?

      I had several celiac blood tests done at a rheumatologist last month. I've had many possible symptoms over the last 23 years, including GERD/LPR, constipation, and recently joint stiffness and pain in my hands. It all started during my first pregnancy. 1/160 ANA back then as well as now with no autoimmune diagnosis. I've had undiagnosed high fevers, swollen...

      A video with researcher William Parker about Helminthic Therapy

      Anti-inflammatory drugs can present a raft of issues, and, unlike helminths, they are often not appropriate for long-term use. "Treatment of moderate to severe IBD involves the use of immune modulators and/or biologics, which have several toxicities and side effects, such as predisposition to infections, cancer, and demyelinating diseases in addition...

Have you had a total IGA test done? It isn't a test for celiac per se but can establish whether or not you are IGA deficient. If you are IGA deficient, it will drive individual IGA test scores down and can result in false positives. The tTG-IGA should always be accompanied by a total IGA test. When people are IGA deficient and actually do have celiac disease we often see it detected by the IGG tests. The same can be said if they have been skimping on gluten previous to the blood draw and, IMO, negatives in the IGA test spectrum with positives in the IGG spectrum can also point to NCGS or NCGS transitioning to celiac.

      This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. I agree that if your biopsy ends up negative, that you still may need to be gluten-free, as you could be in the non-celiac gluten sensitivity area. Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS. Be sure to eat lots of gluten daily until your endoscopy, otherwise you could get false negative results.

      I had several celiac blood tests done at a rheumatologist last month. I've had many possible symptoms over the last 23 years, including GERD/LPR, constipation, and recently joint stiffness and pain in my hands. It all started during my first pregnancy. 1/160 ANA back then as well as now with no autoimmune diagnosis. I've had undiagnosed high fevers, swollen lymphs nodes, ear pain, miscarriages, to name just a few more symptoms. I can't help but be upset at the many doctors I've been to that have missed this. A GI doctor only did the IgA 5 years ago, which was negative then too, and didn't do a biopsy as a result during an endoscopy shortly after. Deaminated Gliadin IgG Antibody test was 90, >15 being abnormal.   Deaminated Gliadin IgA Antibody, negative Tissue Transglutaminase IgG Antibody, negative Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibody, negative I'm scheduled for a biopsy at the end of January. The new GI doctor thinks if not celiac, I will still need to be gluten free the rest of my life due to the antibodies my body is producing. I feel like it's got to be celiac. I've been consuming gluten every day to prepare for this test. It can't come soon enough.  Thoughts on that IgG being positive and the others negative? I haven't gotten a clear explanation for that yet. Thanks in advance for any input!!

      Years of testing - no real answers

      That’s good to know. Might be time to head back to my gastrointestinal doctor then.
