Talk:Soy Allergy/@comment-144.167.111.233-20100117173718

Hi!

I've had a soy allergy for approximately 3.5 years now. Technically, the allergen in the soybean is strictly in the protein. However, because soy allergies are often outgrown, my allergist told me to avoid all soy products (including soybean oil, soy lecithin, etc.) and then go back and get retested after a couple of years. It seems, the less you avoid soy (no matter the form it appears in) the greater the chance you have of outgrowing the allergy later.

I feel for you and your family. Soy is in many more things than most people realize. Good luck! And I hope your 2-year-old can outgrow this allergy soon.
