People with a soy allergy may also have food allergies to other legumes, such as peanuts, chickpeas, lentils, and peas. Cross-reactivity between soy and other legumes is common, so people with soy allergy may be advised to avoid these foods as well.

Highly refined soybean oil and soy lecithin are generally considered safe for people with soy allergy, as the allergenic proteins are removed during the refining process. However, some people with soy allergy may still react to these ingredients, so it's best to consult your allergist for advice specific to your needs.

Soy allergy is more common in children and may be outgrown by the age of 10, although some people may have the allergy for life. A doctor or allergist can perform tests to determine if an individual has outgrown their soy allergy.

Eating at restaurants can be risky for people with soy allergy, as soy is a common ingredient in many prepared foods. It's important to communicate your allergy to the server or chef and ask about the ingredients in the dishes you want to order. It's also a good idea to carry an epinephrine auto-injector in case of a severe allergic reaction.

Yes, soy allergy or soy reaction can lead to anaphylaxis, a severe and potentially life-threatening allergic reaction. Anaphylaxis can cause symptoms such as difficulty breathing, low blood pressure, and loss of consciousness, and requires immediate medical attention. It's important for people with soy allergy to carry an epinephrine auto-injector and seek emergency medical help if they experience symptoms of anaphylaxis.

Soy allergy is a type of food allergy in which the immune system overreacts to certain proteins found in soy, resulting in an allergic reaction. As discussed above, allergic reactions to soy range from relatively mild symptoms, such as hives and itching, to more severe symptoms all the way to extremely dangerous conditions such as anaphylaxis, which can be life-threatening.

Soy intolerance, on the other hand, is a non-allergic food reaction that occurs when the body has difficulty digesting soy. People with soy intolerance may experience symptoms such as bloating, gas, and diarrhea after consuming soy, but they do not experience an immune response to soy proteins. Soy intolerance is not life-threatening and is generally less severe than soy allergy.

It's important to note that while soy allergy and soy intolerance are different conditions, they can have similar symptoms. If you suspect you have a soy allergy or intolerance, it's best to consult with an allergist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
