My mother recently discovered she is also intolerant to soy. I am doing an elimination diet and am quite sure I am intolerant to it as well. I think my issues with milk is because my intestines are just too damaged. I plan to try to add it back in towards the end of my diet. I'm on halt right now due to having to take antibiotics. I have a nasty bronchial infection.

I am doing well on it. If you want to read about my experience with it so far, it's in the other intolerances and leaky gut issues area.

I have to take a vitamin D/Calcium supplement...also a multivitamin that is free from allergens. I also am taking a pro/prebiotic and an enzyme to help replace the good bacteria in my intestines.

What do you do now? I would suggest an elimination diet as I am doing. You can easily find out what is bothering you. Long process, but well worth it. I'm sure other's on here can give you some really good advice. I just wanted to share my two cents.

to replace soy milk in your cereal you could do almond, hazelnut, hemp, or coconut milk. Some brands have added the calcium and vitamin but I also take a vitamin supplement. Pacific is a good brand. Once I eliminated the soy, I rarely have stomach issues now. So maybe you've found a new answer as well. :)

If you are newly gluten free, sometimes both dairy and soy will bother you until your intestines have had time to heal.

IMO soy barely even counts as food. I don't personally believe its good for anyone, especially not celiacs or gluten intolerant people. I stay far away from all soy. It's bad news.

I had always been leary of soy, and now I think of it as mouse poison, reserving rat poison for gluten.

Soy may be deeply ingrained in our food supply but we really should not be eating so much of it and especially not unfermented. Soy is meant to be eaten fermented, or if non-fermented, in very moderate amounts. You may have to look into supplements if you can't get enough calcium from your diet. I don't feel sick after eating soy but I avoid it anyway - had an "enlarged" neck (doctors have told me goiter, enlarged thyroid) until I cut out soy. Would not touch that stuff unless it is fermented properly.

these were great responses,,thanks,,i started soy milk a month or so ago and it ripped my belly up,,i surely had leaky guy,i was worried something was wrong with me until i decided to have a lil bowl of cereal with soy to relax my gut and b4 i finished i felt nauseous and ended up in the bathroom the rest of the night,,i poured out a 4.29 cent carton of it!!..sad thing is that was over a week ago and last night i suddenly felt the same way so now not sure what the heck i am doing wrong.i drive myself nuts trying to read every label and having more veggies than anything i think is not helping me,,to much fiber all the time perhaps,i dunno,im getting discusted with the entire bathroom thing! i dont want to eat at all anymore,so many crappy things in our food and the good food is to much on me perhaps until i heal,, i thought i was healed,,,i had like a week of feeling great,and then pow!!!

I can't have soy or dairy. I add green leafy vegetables to my food whenever I can. Plenty of calcium in there! I also take supplements.

Hello,

I had the same thing happen. I went gluten free, but still having Dairy because of being new to the diet and feeling like there was nothing left I could eat, I'm half Italian...I LOVE my pastas and all CHEESES :D

I had to find something to put on my gluten-free cereal in the morning, so I tried Silk in the vanilla flavor. I never used it before, but I noticed I would get these bad stomach aches, figured out Soy was not agreeing with me either....at all! It was bad. I guess it did more damage than good.

Just last week I bought the So Delicious brand Coconut Milk in Vanilla, I LOVE it, plus the health benefits from Coconut alone are so worth it to me!! When I read an article on Whole Foods website. Open Original Shared Link

I know I have to find non-dairy alternatives to heal up. The article was loaded with ideas and consumer reviews on the brands/flavors that they love.

I've had the enterolab test done and that's it so far, but I'm pretty sure I have leaky gut.

I have all the symptoms and not sure where to go from here...(insurance).

I agree that soy is no good for us. Not even remotely ok for me anyway. Hemp milk or coconut milk would be worth checking out. The ones I have seen so far are soy free.

I've been lactose intolerant for years, but I still need to drink the odd vitamin enhanced shake. Milk shakes tend to overwhelm me and make me ill. Lactaid pills or no Lactaid pills, I have to take like 4 just to be able to manage one so I finally did the supposedly healthy thing last year and switched to a soy based shake.

One day of soy based, milk-free shakes and I was in utter agony. Turns out I react to major doses of soy in a big, bad, way. I've had that reaction to MSG and to Asian food several times in the past, always chalked it up to food poisoning.

I try not to eat soy at all, but it's been almost impossible to eliminate it completely. It's in everything these days practically, but yes, you can react to soy the very same way you do to gluten.

I use Lactaid cow's milk and/or almond milk now for my shakes. More almond than cow at this point, actually. I usually save my cow's milk for cheese!

      https://nationalceliac.org/celiac-disease-questions/do-wheat-grass-and-barley-grass-contain-gluten/ I find this helpful. I will update you on what the company says but most likely will choose one of their products without the wheat and barley grass. Overall, I think the other powders should be safe and I will try them.

      Irregular periods AFTER going gluten-free?

      It’s great to hear that you’re feeling better overall since going gluten-free, but I can understand how these new menstrual symptoms are frustrating and confusing. Hormonal fluctuations and changes in your cycle after a celiac diagnosis are not uncommon. When the body starts healing from prolonged inflammation and malabsorption, it can affect hormones, pa...

      Wholefoods 365 Organic Wheatgrass Powder

      I noticed on the label: https://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/product/whole-foods-market-organic-wheatgrass-powder-california-73-ounce-b07g333x4y that it says "Contain Wheat Ingredients," which probably means that it can include the protein from the wheat kernels/seeds.

      Wholefoods 365 Organic Wheatgrass Powder

      Pure wheatgrass is gluten-free, however, there can be issues when they make it because the kernel/seeds can get mixed into the grass that is harvested, and then ground up in the powder. I've seen this firsthand when Jamba Juice used to cut the wheat grass in front of you (maybe they still do this), and put it in the juicer--they often included seeds that...

      Perimenopause/menopause

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome back! Many celiac patients navigating perimenopause or menopause consider estrogen therapy, and there’s growing research highlighting its potential benefits. Estrogen has been shown to reduce certain health risks associated with menopause, such as cardiovascular disease, particularly in post-menopausal women. This is significant since studies suggest that women with celiac disease may already face an elevated risk of heart disease due to chronic inflammation or malabsorption issues prior to diagnosis. Estrogen therapy, whether through pills, patches, or other methods, can also help alleviate menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and bone loss, all of which can be exacerbated by nutrient deficiencies common in celiac patients before going gluten-free. Of course, the decision to use estrogen therapy is highly individual and depends on your health history, risk factors, and how well your body is responding to a gluten-free diet. If you're considering this route, it's a great idea to discuss it with your doctor. They can tailor a plan that aligns with your needs and monitor how the therapy affects your overall health. Hearing about others' experiences can also be helpful, so it's great you're reaching out to connect with others in the community!

      Irregular periods AFTER going gluten-free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It’s great to hear that you’re feeling better overall since going gluten-free, but I can understand how these new menstrual symptoms are frustrating and confusing. Hormonal fluctuations and changes in your cycle after a celiac diagnosis are not uncommon. When the body starts healing from prolonged inflammation and malabsorption, it can affect hormones, particularly those involved in your menstrual cycle. Additionally, going gluten-free can improve overall health, which might shift your hormone balance and alter your cycles. Delayed or irregular periods, cramping, and other new symptoms may be part of your body’s adjustment process, especially if your antibodies are still trending downward. While it’s reassuring that your labs are normal and serious conditions like PCOS or thyroid issues have been ruled out, these symptoms might take time to stabilize. You could also explore whether stress, diet changes, or other factors might be contributing. If things don’t improve soon, you might want to revisit your OBGYN to discuss hormone-specific testing, such as estrogen, progesterone, and cortisol levels, to check for imbalances. In the meantime, tracking your symptoms and cycles closely could help you and your doctors identify patterns or triggers. Hang in there—healing can take time, but you’re on the right path!

I've seen this firsthand when Jamba Juice used to cut the wheat grass in front of you (maybe they still do this), and put it in the juicer--they often included seeds that had been pushed up by the growth of the grass. In general, to be on the safe side, I think it's best to avoid wheat and barley grasses.
