Is Soy Lecithin Gluten Free?

Answer Question

4 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Reading all about soy lecithin today I am finding out the symptoms from the Soy Lec allergy are very similar to those associated to wheat/gluten.
    I was diagnosed about a year ago as being allergic to wheat, soy, corn and oats.
    I am now doing more research.
    People get misdiagnosed with this all the time.  Someone even had their gallbladder removed with a misdiagnoses.
    I spent $150 on a nutritionist because I was unable to lose weight even with changing my diet and doing a very intense boot camp for 6 weeks.
    It was the best money I ever spent.  Totally holistic and weird so it too me some time and research to believe her.  But I am more aware of my body what I eat and what effects It has.
    It sux to learn I have to read labels as much as I do but I feel so much better and lost 12 pounds almost immediately!

      Yes, it is gluten free.  

      Some people who have Celiac Disease have trouble with soy digestion issues, but not because of gluten.  If someone talks about soy and gluten, they are not referring to the gluten that triggers reactions in Celiac patients but they are simply referring to the plant cellulose.

      Gluten from wheat sources is what bothers those with Celiac Disease.

        My question is - Is gluten used to 'bulk up' soy lecithin?  I am gluten intolerant, but don't have celia disease (that I know of).  I get ill when I eat anything containing soy lecithin.  The symptoms are exactly the same as the symptoms I get when ingesting gluten.

        I have Celiac disease and avoid gluten at all cost, but there are times when I'm still getting symptoms and I'm beginning to wonder if it's coming from soy. Seems soy lecithin is in everything much like gluten/wheat. So I'm guessing you react to true soy in the same way? Does anyone know why soy may be troublesome to some us?
