I'm Also Allergic To Corn And Soy...help!

I've pretty much gotten corn, soy, tomatoes (also allergic to blah) and gluten out of my diet...But cosmetics and body lotions and washes and all that is almost harder. I have NO idea what to use. I thought I would check here and see if anyone could help before I start calling companies like crazy. I'm just afraid I will find nothing!! The problem is the soy and gluten combination is hard. And I a skin rash (kp I beleive) all over my arms, upper back and legs that will not go away.

Also, finding vitamins is a pain as well. Something without corn, soy, and gluten is always more expensive. Especially at GNC which is the only place I know that labels when it's not in it. Does anyone know any other place that makes finding vitamins a little easier?

Thanks :)

Would you mind sharing some of the food products that you consume? I have the same allergies that you have (plus a whole load of others, like eggs, dairy, certain animal proteins etc etc), and I have the hardest time finding products like milks, cereals, and things of the sort. I'd love to compare notes!

I hope I can help with the vitamins. I was told my nutritionist who also has celiac disease that NatureMade vitamins are gluten-free, and I even called and confirmed.

Also, I believe Dove is supposed to be gluten-free. You might want to check.

Good luck!

yeah. I have been ordering from the online gluten free store, but I also go to a lot of stores like trader joes and whole foods to find the same foods. I like to eat fruit bars. There's the George Delights fruit bars, and they have some at target. They are usually just fruit. And there's dried fruits. My favorites are the Sensible Snacks. I put a lot of fruit stuff like that in my purse so I always have a snack with me incase i'm with someone that wants to eat and I can't eat a lot or I get hungry. If I don't have it with me to eat I may get so hungry I eat something I know I shouldn't have.

I also like the Enjoy Life brand cookies and stuff. It's expensive, but I don't have a kitchen (I kind of share one but can't use it much) and that way I can have cookies. They keep away from the 8 main allergies including dairy and egg.

For actual meals I've pretty much been eating a lot of rice. I'll add steamed veggies and plain meat to it.

I eat A LOT of fruit. And I try to get a lot of veggies. I make sure that the fridge is filled with them.

The cereal I've started eating is Perky's Nutty Flax Gluten-Free Cereal. At first I thought it was terrible but I now actually like it.

I assume you use rice milk?? I eat SO MUCH rice. I used to eat rice milk and may go back because I think I might have a dairy problem. Rice cakes, actual rice, rice milk...lots of rice. I also like potatoes but try to not eat them so much because I eat so much rice already and it makes me really thirsty and I can't combine the two.

Sorry this is so randomly written and long. Do you cook? Do you have any recipes you like?

Here's a link to a mainstream grocery shopping guide - they have a couple different ones, this one is Gluten-Casein-Soy Free.

I have the gluten-free one, don't know how I ever got along without it.

For skin/hair products etc., you might search this forum for the word Neutrogena. I recently saw a posting of a huge list of their stuff that is gluten-free. You could always call or email them as well. There's more safe stuff out there than you realize, so don't panic.

I've found it hard to find something that also doesn't have soy. Everyone seems to be putting soy in everything, even beauty products. What a pain.

      Lymph nodes in neck + thyroid issues

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It’s understandable to feel frustrated, especially when you’re managing celiac well but still experiencing new, unexplained symptoms. Many people with celiac notice sensations around the neck and jaw area, even without visible swelling. Sometimes, lymph node sensitivity or a tight feeling in the throat can linger as part of the body’s inflammatory response, even if your thyroid and other tests come back normal. It sounds like you’ve been thorough with testing and have seen multiple specialists, which is great. A few things might be worth considering: for some people with celiac, there can be lingering sensitivities to trace gluten, cross-reactive foods, or even certain environmental factors that can cause persistent inflammation. Since you’ve tried antihistamines and a humidifier, you might want to discuss options like different allergy medications or seeing an ENT specialist if you haven’t already. Some find that supplements (like anti-inflammatory options or probiotics) help support overall inflammation reduction, though you should always check with your doctor first. It’s frustrating when you feel the symptoms without an obvious cause, but trust your instincts—hopefully, with persistence, you’ll find answers and some relief soon.

      2 Separate Glutenings - Recovery Timeline?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It sounds like you’re really going through it—accidental gluten exposure can definitely take a toll, and when it happens twice close together, it can feel like it drags on even longer. Many people find that each glutening is a bit unpredictable in terms of recovery, and it could take a little extra time if your body hasn’t fully cleared out the first exposure before the second one hit. Staying hydrated, avoiding other potential irritants (like alcohol and spicy foods), and resting can help ease the symptoms as your gut heals. Hopefully, things start to settle soon! In the meantime, it could be helpful to communicate with friends about specific brands to look out for, even when it’s hard to ask in the moment. Hang in there—hope you’re feeling much better soon!

      Itchy skin, tingling in feet and scalp

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      @Therockfrog, it sounds like you’ve been through so much, and managing these symptoms must be incredibly challenging. Tingling in your feet and scalp, especially after eating specific foods, can sometimes be related to histamine intolerance or even a sensitivity to certain food proteins, as you’ve suggested. Since you’ve already noticed patterns with gluten, nuts, and dairy, it might be worth looking into a histamine intolerance or mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), where the body has an exaggerated response to histamine and other triggers, which can cause itching, tingling, and even high cortisol levels. This would explain why your symptoms change with seasonal pollen too. If you’re considering eating some of these trigger foods before seeing the allergist, it could help with identifying specific IgE reactions. However, since this can worsen symptoms, you might consider working with your doctor to approach this slowly, maybe introducing one trigger at a time. It’s great you’ve tracked your symptoms so closely—that detailed information will help the allergist a lot. In the meantime, perhaps continue with antihistamines, as sometimes trying different types (H1 and H2 blockers, for example) under guidance can make a difference. Hang in there! It sounds like you’re very close to finding the root of these reactions.

      Scientists have discovered a cause of inflammatory bowel disease. They said it's a 'holy grail' discovery that could transform other autoimmune treatments.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Exciting news for sure, especially the fact that "existing drugs could be used to interrupt the inflammation process and help treat patients." Having to develop new drugs to target this genetic pathway would take many years, so finding existing drugs that do so could greatly speed up treatments.
