What To Avoid With A Soy Allergy

Published: Mar 18, 2015 Β· Modified: Jan 18, 2021 by Rebecca Pytell Β· This post may contain affiliate links.

I thought I'd take a detour from talking about Celiac Disease and talk about soy allergies! Sadly, gluten is still not considered one of the Top 8 allergens, since it isn't technically an allergen either. (But we are making small progress). Β The Top 8 allergens are Peanuts, Tree Nuts, Milk, Eggs, Wheat, SOY, Fish, and Shellfish. Hopefully, we can expand that to 9 soon. Or really, in my ideal world, eliminate them completely and no longer have allergies, but of course, that's impossible. Soy allergies can be mild causing stomach distress or ichy skin, but can be severe causing anaphylaxis, which is life-threatening (hello Epi-Pen!). Many children (toddlers and babies) who have a soy allergy will outgrow it, but many also do not.

Now, back to soy. Soy is HUGE and used in practically everything if we want to be honest here. When I developed this allergy, I was a lot more upset than finding out about Celiac! Not only could I no longer have edamame and tofu, but even some of my favorite teas contained soy lecithin. The other thing about soy is that it's one of the big GMO crops that should only be bought organic. But people overlook that when soy is in many many many processed foods. I finally found my beloved Van's Gluten-Free Pancakes in this specialty store back in Jersey last week. I loved those things and had them in the early years of my Celiac and then could never find them again. Well, I flipped over the back to look at the nutrition label and saw a big CONTAINS SOY. I cried inside :/

Some people are touchy about soy even if they don't have an allergy. They hear all the studies about soy being evil and increasing your change of cancer, etc. But I'm all for eating whole natural fermented forms of non-gmo soy. There is nothing wrong with some fresh edamame, tempeh, or miso. Just stay away from the gmo and overly processed forms and you should be fine.

But this post is about soy allergies, so I made a list of the soy terms you need to look for on all packed foods and whole forms. Here we go!

Grab this word search activity to help teach your kids which soy terms to look for on packages!

What To Avoid With A Soy Allergy | Strength and Sunshine @RebeccaGF666 #soy #soyallergy #foodallergies

The Red Flags are obvious forms that always mean soy. The Yellow Flags are ingredients or sources that may be soy or soy-derived so you should use caution and find out more before consuming. However, there is a caveat about Soy Lecithin, which I put under Red Flag. Soy Lecithin is an extremely processed form of soy where the protein is removed, thus making it "possibly" safe for some with a soy allergy (depending on their sensitivity). There is said to not be enough of the soy protein residue to produce reactions, but I stick to the side of caution and health and avoid it 100%. Soy Lecithin is found is so many processed products and is used mostly as an emulsifier (helps mix water and oil), stabilizer, and preservative. Β It is artificial and extracted from the soybean with harsh chemical solvents and usually comes from the big GMO crop.

This questionable form of soy, as well as other Yellow Flags, can be found in things like tea, soups and broths, canned fishes or meats, sauces, spices, processed cereals, chocolate, baked goods, frozen foods, low-fat products like peanut butter, etc. So just like gluten, you must read and scan every label! There is also easy cross-contamination with products and while eating out. Asian cuisines are very "iffy" as soy is used a lot.

For those of you who are vegan as well as soy-free and maybe even gluten-free, you may be concerned about your options. No soy milk, soy yogurt, fake meats, tofu, tempeh, miso, etc. But don't fret! There are great alternatives out there like...

- Endless plant-based milks

- Hemp tofu and tempeh

- Chickpea miso

- Endless plant-based ice creams

- Endless plant-based yogurts

- Coconut aminos (for soy sauce)

- Soy-free vegan butter

- Soy-free vegan mayo (or make your own)

- Chickpea flour for soy-free veganΒ omelets and scrambles too!

Hopefully, this list can be useful and help keep us all a bit safer. Living with food allergies, whether you have one, two, or all 8 (or 9), is hard at first, but is completely doable. You can be safe, healthy and from my point of view, pretty badass πŸ˜‰

So tell me:

+ Do you have a soy-allergy?

+ Have you ever had hemp tofu or tempeh? I need to get my hands on some!

    You never really know what contains a specific ingredient until you know someone allergic to that ingredient. It's like allergies open our eyes to look at what we are actually eating. My niece has a soy allergy, and so recently I have been looking into all the possible things that could have it so I don't accidentally harm her.

    From my experience I’ve noticed that the hardest restaurants to avoid soy in are Mexican and Asian/Thai. Of course those are two of the most delicious cuisines ! But don’t lose hope, Italian restaurants are great for avoiding soy because most of them cook with olive oil.

    I didn't realize how many foods contain soy until this. Soy allergies really limit the sorts of foods you can eat. I sort of know how you feel though, for two years ago I found that I developed a milk allergy. It has prevented me from eating quite a few of my favorite foods.

    I'm lucky - I don't have an allergy to soy. Like you say - it's in darn near everything these days. I do try and be careful with it though as I'm supposed to avoid it with my thyroid issues (soy can really wreak havoc on a system that has thyroid issues!).

    I'm allergic to soy. Luckily my reaction is just gastrointestinal. When I found out, it forced me to eat less processed foods since it is literally in everything. One thing it is in is dark sodas. It's used to create the coloring. Thanks for the post. I feel like soy allergies are ignored. (oh, and veggie oil is basically soy oil.)

    I don't have a soy allergy, but I don't eat very much soy. Growing up Chinese, my family ate tons of soft tofu and beancurd (nothing like the stuff you find in North American supermarkets) and it was so delicious. I only discovered tempeh in the last year or so and I love it! It's also incredible (in a scary way) how many products contain soy in them. Everything in moderation! I have yet to try hemp tofu but I bet I would love it. Happy Wednesday! And yay for all those allergy alternatives!

    I don't have a soy allergy but I have some weird eating things that have cropped up in the last year-- so many foods trigger my asthma! The tough part is that it isn't food groups and there isn't a common theme among all the foods, so I just kinda learn trial by error. For the most part, it seems like it's heavily processed stuff (particularly thick dairy) but either way, it's wicked annoying. I WANT ICE CREAM!

    Hi, yes I have just been told I'm intolerant to various things - egg white, tomatoes, dairy, vanilla, cinnamon and whilst it wasn't on the list I realise I'm pretty intolerant to soya too. Finding it all a struggle at the moment to be honest. Doctor was most insistent that I don't touch the eggs or the tomatoes again due to anaphalaxic shock possibilities.

    It's amazing how many foods contain soy and gluten. Things you'd never suspect! Tofu and edamame don't concern me when it comes to cancer. Just look at the low rate of breast cancer in Asian women, who eat a lot of tofu. When they move to the U.S. their cancer rates rise, which leads me to believe that the soy isolates that you find in processed food is probably what we should stay away from. Then again, it might not be the soy at all, it might just be processed food in general, as well as fast food (grease, high cooking temps...) that we should avoid. Anyway, I'm sorry that you have to deal with both celiac and a soy allergy. It seems like you're doing well nutritionally regardless. πŸ™‚

      I think it was 2 years after I found out about my Celiac. Basically....my throat started closing up when I made my favorite tofu dish and any time I had soy my stomach would freak too. When I ate larger amounts, it was more the throat/cough thing, and smaller amounts would ruin my stomach. :/

THIS is where those "mock" egg noodles come in! Sam Mills brand gluten-free "Lasagne Corte" noodles are legit like little mock egg noodles! They are 100% corn flour, no eggs! They're hearty and perfect for this mushroom stroganoff! But if you can't do corn, just use any type of hearty noodle or make some mashed potatoes or simple rice! πŸ₯° I even have a simple swap to make this recipe paleo too 🀯😍

If you've never heard of Irish potato candy, than you're in for a TREAT! πŸ₯³ Believe it or not, there is NO potato in potato candy! Here's another kicker...Irish potato candy is not actually Irish! It's a Philidephia, PA confection (so if you're not from the East Coast you really may be out of the loop!) However, it's a super fun seasonal treat that pops up around St. Patrick's Day! πŸ€πŸ‘
