Medical Forum / General / Nutrition / August 2005Racing/Pounding Heart from Soy Beans?
I have a lot of food intolerances, but can tolerate most beans if they are cooked well and eaten with digestive enzymes. I hadn't eaten soy for a long time and last evening decide to include a can (brand: Westbrae Natural. Ingr: water, organic soybeans, sea salt). About 45 minutes after dinner I noticed my heart beat was faster/stronger than usual and also felt slight nausea. And when going to bed, again I noticed my heart rate was faster/stronger than usual. Then in the middle of the night, I woke up with my heart racing/pounding and breaking a slightly sweat. I get a similar reaction when consuming red wine? What might be causing this? Anyone have similar reactions? > I have a lot of food intolerances, but can tolerate most beans if they > are cooked well and eaten with digestive enzymes.

I don't know what's causing you to have those symptoms, but they happen to me when my blood glucose is too high. Susan > I don't know what's causing you to have those symptoms, > but they happen to me when my blood glucose is too high. My typical BG readings upon waking are near 83. The most recent lab measurements are 86 and 88. I have been eating low/med carbs for several years now. BG readings 1 hr after meal range 95 to 115. If I do eat much carbs (ie rice or potato) I get sleepy. What would cause your BG to go too high? > My typical BG readings upon waking are near 83. The most recent lab > measurements are 86 and 88.

What would cause your > BG to go too high? Too much dietary carbohydrate and/or dehydration in my case. Shouldn't happen with your numbers, though. Susan Could it be that you may be allergic? >I have a lot of food intolerances, but can tolerate most beans if they > are cooked well and eaten with digestive enzymes.

One robin doesn't make a summer. Wait a few days, ingest soybeans again, and see if you have the same symptoms. > One robin doesn't make a summer. The reason I hadn't eaten soybeans for several years was because the last time was a painful experience (heartburn and tummy ache), however that may have been due to insufficient cooking. How likely is it that soybean antinutrient aren't sufficiently neutralized in commerical canned soybeans? Anyone here eat canned soybeans routinely? > Wait a few days, ingest soybeans again, > and see if you have the same symptoms. Thanks, the next time I will try a can of soybeans by itself after a short fast. >> One robin doesn't make a summer. > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > soybean antinutrient aren't sufficiently neutralized in commerical > canned soybeans? Anyone here eat canned soybeans routinely? I do, as well as other forms: soy nuts (roasted soybeans), tofu, and soy milk. I have no trouble with any of these. YMMV. >> Wait a few days, ingest soybeans again, >> and see if you have the same symptoms. > > Thanks, the next time I will try a can of soybeans by itself after a > short fast. Yes, that would be a good experiment. I typed "soybean allergy" in PubMed's search for field and got 569 abstracts; "legume allergy" yields 908 abstracts (quite a few of which concern peanut allergy). So soybean allergy does appear to be an issue. George Most problems people have with soy are not strictly allergies (Ig response), but 'intolerances': equivalent problems but not involving Ig response). Around Ottawa, at least 5% of people have sufficient reactions to soy that they must avoid it. Believe you me, it's a pain here! 90% of preprepared foods have soy components in them now :-( |
