Soy Allergies
Soy allergies are as common as milk allergies, and may even coincide
with a milk allergy. Other foods that are highly allergenic include
wheat, peanuts, shellfish, beef, citrus, poultry, strawberries and
tomatoes. Soy can be made mostly hypoallergenic by the same
processing techniques which remove trypsin inhibitors, but
a food allergy must be respected as symptoms such as eczema, hives,
rash and asthma may range from mild to life-threatening. A
retrospective study two to three decades into life with adults who
were fed infant formula reported that adult women used a significantly
greater number of allergy or asthma drugs, but the relationship is not
understood.
