| Like lkf, my child also has an anaphylactic allergic to peanuts, but also tested positive to soy. While she doesn't eat tofu or drink soy milk, she can eat foods with soy protein in them. If a food has a lot of soy protein, her lips might tingle a bit and her tongue get a bit scratchy, but that is all. She will take a benadryl if the reaction bothers her too much, but rarely does that. She was not aware of the soy allergy until she went to college and started drinking soy lattes and buying soy milk for her cereal. For some reason the soups at Panera Bread also have soy proteins and a few of them give her a mild reaction, but not enough to stop eating them. According to her allergist, she will not have an anaphylactic reaction to soy, so just to watch what she eats. |
