This summer, at age 31 I was diagnosed with peanut, soy, watermelon, hazlenut, almond, corn, peas, and carrots allergy after a site reaction. Needless to say, the dietary changes are astounding, and grocery shopping takes me three times longer as it did before. Thanks for the information posted here- I'll be sure to check back!

My wife has soy allergy and we have found that not only animal meat, but also most commercial dairy products are a trigger even if soy is only a "small" portion of the feed. Your's is one of the few sources to note the animal feed aspect which hopefully someone will choose to reserch eventually. Eggs and butter for some reason seem not to be a problem. We have had good fortune to find a local dairy farm who exclusively grass feed and another that feed only grass or corn. I would encourge anyone with a soy allergy to get to know your local farms. Possilbly you will find one that uses no soy as well. This is a great list Shirley.

Check out my other posts about hidden sources of soy, as well as the two book reviews about living with soy allergies.

Is there a book out there to help me on what I can eat. I live in Alaska 200 miles from the nearest large town so fresh veg in the winter are very hard to come by and expensive but right now it will be worth it. Please get back to me on any information that can help me Thank You Cheryl Smith You have been so much help, yes I am 61 and have become allergic to Soy, tomatoes and nuts.

I recently found out I am allergic to soy, along with being allergic to all fruits, most vegetables, and all nuts. Having asthma and eczema all my life is tough. When I found out I was allergic to soy it made it much harder to shop for food. Your entries really helped me as to what to look out for! I have still yet to find breads and shampoo's I can use without having a reaction. Any suggestions as to shampoo's? Wow! thanks.
