Soy Allergy

Divisions: Healthy Living

Submitted by ceoMom #329, Kristy Lynne, 2 months ago

During my first pregnancy, I became very sensitive to peanut butter of any kind. Now I am totally allergic...at least I thought.

I have discovered that my allergy is actually to Soy. Isn't soy supposed to be good for you? That's what I had thought.

As I research more into soy, the more I discover that it inhibits protein digestion and can cause other health issues.

I just ate a peanut butter sandwich, which contained strawberry jam, peanut butter (containing only peanuts and %1 salt) and whole wheat bread. I can breath and have only a small headache, which is a miracle.
Recently I found chocolate chips in the bulk section of Winco that do not contain soy, which means I can eat my whole wheat cookies without a headache as well! I need to start looking on the back to see what contains soy, so that I stop feeling so miserable.

I recommend looking around at research. Here is a website you can start with.

I have also had some food allergies that gave me terrible headaches. For me it was carrots, red peppers and chocolate (of all things). I avoided these foods for over a year and now I can eat them again. I recently learned that your body can reset itself if you avoid the food in question for one to two years. Good luck!

I am going to try your idea. I am allergic to so many things (brazil nut protein, walnuts, soy, milk, peanuts, and anything containing those things). I don't really mind about the nuts; but I miss having peanut candies (both soy and peanut) and good ice cream. If I can reset these things maybe I can find a way to totally avoid them for a year or two.

I am gluten insensitive and had to switch to Soy products. So far so good.
Thank you for educating me on a subject yet unfamiliar to me.

I just want to sincerely thank you. My four-year old has been having poopy issues for a year now. My doctor thought it was Celiac Disease, but the results were negative. After I read your email, it made me curious since we all drink soy milk. I took her off soy and her issue almost immediately cleared up. She's been off now for several weeks and the problem is fixed. I never would have guessed without your tip. Thank you! Problem solved!
