A Question About Soy ~

I recently found out I am allergic to soy and just had a reaction from chicken that was fed a soy based diet. If I buy chicken that was fed a "vegetarian diet" does that exclude soy???

Well, soy comes from the soybean which is technically a vegetable so you'd have to confirm what kind of vegetables these chickens are being fed.

Vegetarians eat soy beans :)

So Grass-Fed meats would be safe then, right?

When it comes to beef, that's all I will eat :o Grass-fed organic is the purest, safest you can get. I have problems with corn as well as soy and try my best to avoid corn-fed anything too.

The chicken I ate was from Trader Joe's and I didn't read the back of the package until after I realized I was having a reaction and saw their chickens were fed corn and soy. I'm not sure if I have an allergy to corn. I'm hoping that Whole Food's chicken is soy free. If not, I don't know where I'm going to find some. Hopefully my "vegetarian fed" Organic Valley eggs are soy free, I'm gonna have to give them a call tomorrow.

      Symptoms & waiting on blood test results

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Jaylan! Almost all of the symptoms and medical conditions you describe have been found to be associated with celiac disease. But they can also be caused by other things as well. There certainly is enough circumstantial evidence in your list of medical problems to warrant being tested for celiac disease. Ask your physician to order a celiac panel consisting of, at the very minimum, these two blood antibody tests: total IGA and tTG-IGA. Please do not attempt to limit your gluten intake before the blood draw is taken or you will invalidate the testing. Incidentally, celiac disease is often misdiagnosed as IBS.

      Symptoms & waiting on blood test results

      By Jaylan · Posted

      Hi there!  I’ve recently been tested for celiac disease, along with other autoimmune diseases. My symptoms started back in 2018 with joint pain in my knees. Since then, it has progressively worsened. I now have joint pain in both knees, elbows, and sometimes my shoulders. The pain is almost unbearable. I feel so stiff in the mornings, and this stiffness can last the whole day. I also experience swelling and warmth around those areas.   Other symptoms include IBS (diagnosed at age 16), restless legs, chest pain, tiredness, miscarriages, bloating, and sharp pain on the right side of my stomach. In the past, I’ve also had problems with a vitamin D deficiency, and my serum folate levels recently came back very low.   My question is: How likely is it that I have celiac disease?

      Celebrity Luncheon Loaf Gluten Free

      By robingfellow · Posted

      The Celebrity brand Luncheon Loaf (found at dollar tree, distributed by Atalanta Corporation) is gluten free according to the distributor. I emailed their customer service line for information on the ingredients, and they contacted the vendor and followed up with me that the "starch" ingredient I was worried about is corn and potato. It should be safe.
