The symptoms of a soy allergy can range from mild to severe and can include:

Causes[edit | edit source]

A soy allergy occurs when the body's immune system mistakenly identifies soy as harmful and creates antibodies against it. When soy is consumed, the immune system releases chemicals such as histamine, which cause allergy symptoms.

Diagnosis[edit | edit source]

A soy allergy is typically diagnosed through a combination of a patient history, skin prick test, and blood test. In some cases, an oral food challenge may be conducted under medical supervision.

Treatment[edit | edit source]

The primary treatment for a soy allergy is avoidance of soy products. This can be challenging, as soy is found in many processed foods. In cases of accidental ingestion, antihistamines may be used to relieve symptoms. In severe cases, such as anaphylaxis, emergency treatment with epinephrine is required.
