Guest guest Posted May 9, 2002 Report Share Posted May 9, 2002 Greetings, Does anyone know what the symptoms of soy allergy or intolerance are? Are they similar to celiac symptoms? I eat something made with soy just about every day, and was wondering if maybe I might have a problem with it as well as the gluten (I really hope not, because that would severely limit my already limited diet ) Thanks for any info, Christine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2002 Report Share Posted May 10, 2002 Hi Christine, I have have gluten intolerance and also dairy/soy intolerance. I was told by my gastroenterologist and a dietician that there is a significant number of celiacs who do no tolerate soy as well. If you suspect soy is the problem, it would definitely be worth a trial eliminating it for a month and see what happens. Soy is very popular now, and it shows up in everything from supplements to flavorings -- so you must be careful to check everything, just like you do for gluten. I struggle to find things to eat, but draw heavily from Indian, Thai, Greek and Mexican cuisines. I use a pressure cooker a lot since I have to cook from scratch. I use almond and sesame milk to replace the dairy and use a lot of tahini sauces. Hope this helps. -- Susan - CATTZEYE77 Thursday, May 09, 2002 5:42 PM Re: Soy Allergy?

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2002 Report Share Posted May 10, 2002 My dh can eat some things made with soy. . .and has to avoid others. It seems the more " dense " soy products (like boca burgers) can bother him, but soymilk and tofu is just fine. Although I am not gluten-free myself, I cook gluten-free at home so my husband can eat what the rest of the family eats. I understand the frustrations expressed. I try to be so careful, but there are times I use a seasoning or ingredient that bothers my husband. It is a process of learning as we go, I guess. Unfortunately dh suffers sometimes because of it. ~ LaDonna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
