Dietary restrictions

[ailbhe]

I have been presented with evidence it would be foolish to ignore. I cannot tolerate soya in any quantity at all. Clearly, the fact that I did not react to one cup of soya milk was no indication of the effect of a few well-spaced portions.

One serving of yoghurt was enough cows' milk to make me vomit copiously and painfully, too.

I really will have to have myself investigated. I mean, it's not a hardship, as when I was consuming neither I didn't miss either, except for icecream and pancakes. And I can get sorbet and oat icecream, and I'll figure something out about the pancakes. But I'd like to know what it is that I am reacting to, and whether Linnea has the same reactions - she doesn't seem unable to tolerate soya, from current evidence, but that's no reason to feed it to her willy nilly.

I feel absolutely awful. I had an earache, and I ate a little icecream to cheer myself up, and now I am wretched and shaking and smelly and in pain. Thank heavens for Fybogel, which doesn't make me ill and may make me feel a little better.

Do you react to to other soy sources?

I have a friend who is also allergic to soy and has been dealing with it for years. I'd be happy to introduce you to her, if you'd like to pick her brain about substitutions and stuff.
