About Soy Bi-products

Who can give me the "skinny" about Soy bi-products as ingredients in the foods that I buy.

I just bought a bag of Mi-Del Gluten-Free Ginger Snaps from the Puplix Market. But I see by looking at the label that it's made with ( get this...) soy flour...?! Does that make sence...? or what is it that I will need to know about soy bi-products as ingredients in the things that I buy.

I also like to buy Ensure Plus lactose free with 350 calories to keep my weight up ( it works good for me...) but it has Soy Protein. There is also a Publix Brand generic product like Ensure that I use, and it has both Soy Protein Isolate ( what ever that is...) and soy lecithin.

I also see Soy Oil in a candy bar that I had today.

What do I need to know in order to stay out of trouble with soy bi-products in the ingredients of the stuff that I buy, and what's up with the Mi-Del "Gluten-Free" Ginger Snaps...???

Please...???

Anybody...

You will find a soy by product in many, many foods. I had rice milk with my cereal this morning and found soy letchin (sp) in that. Had it anyway and had terrible indigestion and gas. I had a Mi-del animal cookie last night and it has the same ingredient in it and, once again, I suffered. It's just very hard to find foods without it!

If you have a soy allergy then you must read every label carefully. If you don't, well then you can eat soy all you want. It's not linked to gluten if that was your question, however many Celiacs have additional food sensitivities and soy, corn, and dairy are among the most common.

Yes, Terri is correct. I love the Mi-Del cookies... all flavors. Soy has no connection to gluten. IF you were sick by the cookies, then you need to question your ability to eat soy. Soy is actually good for you ~ that is why it is added to so many different products. Soy is suppose to be helpful to menopausal women, etc.

I actually seek out soy to add to my diet. Love the Silk Soy milk vs. reg. milk.

Hope that helps!!

Ummm...

I was under the impression ( of mis-impression ) that Soy has gluten.

I will need to double check that.

Can anybody add to this.

Soy is fine for us...sensitivity to soy has nothing to do with celiac.

Soy flour and soy protein are fine.

I love mi-del ginger snaps...they are fine :D I just bought some today as well.

I also love Silk soymilk...that stuff tastes like the real thing...plus soy helps slow down your thyroid which I( having graves disease-a form of hyperthyroid) it does well for me

Maso, the only grains that celiacs need to avoid, due to celiac disease, is wheat, barley, rye, and oats. Soy, among other alternatives, is fine.

SOY is POISIN!

This is a link to a thread about soy being bad. A few people posting their views also. It is pro and con. To be better educated PLEASE read this...

Open Original Shared Link

I'm stuck on SOY today and everyday since I got the correct infromation. -- What I mean by SOY IS POISON for those of us with a thyroid problem or woman who have a hormone imbalance, menopause (sp) or babies, compromised immune systems. SOY is in everything, I know. I spent all day one day last week with Walmart food allergy phone lines to find out VEGGIE BROTH in tuna fish packs are SOY. Also beware -- ARTIFICALLY FLAVORING is also a name to hide soy and many other things.

But keep in mind also the SOY food group family is also LEGUMES, pea, beans and many other foods, you must concern yourself with it. SOY has become a problem for many of us here.

I wish someone took the time when I first came down with celiac disease 5 or 6 years ago and told me the true FACTS about SOY. I lived on SOY! Yes, I went on a gluten free dairy free diet. BUT that wasn't enough. SOY is what cause my thyroid problem. It does all sorts of things to the thyroid, mine was hyper and speeded everything up. Some will fight this issue (they are in denial) so be it, but I listen to my body and others that feel the same illnesses as I do, and I know what lead us to become sick after the fact.

Ursula --- one of the other members is also a believer how bad soy is.

I would like to ad an after thought...

If you still don't believe the info about soy being bad. Please read

LIVING WELL WITH AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE and another great book is AUTOIMMUNE CONNECTION.

Both books have lots of wonderful information about celiac disease and both clearly state how BAD SOY is for those of us with celiac disease.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By K6315 · Posted

      Thank you so much Trents (Scott?)! I have started working with a dietitian and did a deep research dive as soon as I got the diagnosis. I am aware of what you mentioned in the first two paragraphs, and was not aware of anything in the third, so I am grateful for that information, and will talk to the dietitian about that. I think I was most interested in the withdrawal process - it gives me hope that, although I have felt unwell recently, I just need to be patient (not a strong suit). I have printed the article you sent and will look at it more closely. Thanks again!

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @K6315! Gluten withdrawal typically lasts for a period of a few weeks. But there is a real learning curve involved in actually attaining to a gluten free dietary state. Much more is involved than just cutting out major sources of gluten such as bread and pasta. It's all the places that gluten is hidden in the food supply that is difficult to ferret out, like soy sauce and canned tomato soup, canned chili and canned pork n' beans, some "lite" pancake syrups, potato salad, flavorings, etc., etc. Gluten-containing grain products are hidden through alternate terminology and found in places you would never expect.  There is also "cross contamination" where naturally gluten free foods come into contact with gluten-containing grains during farming, transportation, storage and manufacturing processes. Then there is the issue of "cross reactivity" whereby you may be having gluten-like reaction to food proteins whose structure is similar to gluten. Chief among these are dairy, oats (even gluten-free oats), soy, corn and eggs. I am including this article that you might find helpful:

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By K6315 · Posted

      Prior to being diagnosed, I had a gluten heavy diet. I stopped all gluten exactly a week ago and have continued to feel sick in the ways I did prior to going gluten free - primarily on and off nausea, brain fog, and fatigue. Wondering if this is normal and, if so, how long can I expect to feel this way?
