Here is a list of common symptoms that could be related to an allergy. The way to find out which allergy you may have is by process of elimination.
I was able to determine my allergy to soy after 10 minutes of ingesting a soy protein drink. That was 2 weeks after I spent 4 days in the intensive care unit and doctors diagnosed food poisoning!
I did not agree...and I was right!
1. Nausea, bloating, cramps, diarrhea, vomiting.
2. Flushed face, hives or a rash, red and itchy skin.
3. Swelling of the eyes, face, lips, throat, and tongue.
4. Trouble breathing, speaking or a drop in blood pressure.
5. Rapid heartbeat (palpitations), loss of consciousness.
6. Anxiousness, distress, faintness.
7. Paleness, sense of doom, or weakness.
The most common allergies are Milk, Eggs, Peanuts, Soy, Tree Nuts, Fish, Shellfish, and Wheat. Proteins in these eight major foods are estimated to cause 90 percent of the allergic reactions in the United States.
The realization that Gregg had developed a soy allergy sparked a long-term research effort looking into soy, with Gregg scrutinizing the proof behind many of the soy boosters' claims. What she found was a bombshell: far from a "super food," there is substantial evidence showing soy could actually cause a host of health woes, including early puberty, infertility, thyroid disease, increase of tumors in cancer survivors, and osteoporosis. And the dangers are not limited to those with an existing soy allergy.
Gregg discovered peer-reviewed research shows a variety of factors unique to soy that could be to blame. Among them: Several naturally occurring compounds that are toxic to humans and animals are present in soy. Called "anti-nutrients," these toxins prevent the body from fully breaking down nutrients and target specific organs, cells and enzyme pathways. The governments of Britain and New Zealand were concerned enough about soy to issue official guidelines discouraging parents from using soy formula unless recommended by a doctor.
