I still think my beer allergy is due to some kind of additive- things that have a lot of hops in them seem to make it worse, and in America at least "hops" are really these dried pellet things, so who knows what the hell they're putting in there as a preservative. Anyway thank you fenu for posting that info, I am definitely going to repost on my burgeoning food site (http://fishinthewater.wordpress.com/) Oh, whoa, I just visited that other site about additives and that is eerie- I’ve read about that particular one a little after I accidentally bought a can of sunflower seeds that contained it.

I love it when i can pass on a link that may potentially help someone. Jennifer has all kinds of nifty info linked through her other 'site: http://onegirlworld.com i don't know her (other than reading her adventures) but she is living the life that i wished i would have, apart from the allergic reactions :) You’re welcome!

I have been trying to come up with a theory as to why it was that soy sauce and tempeh could go down so smooth. It's so obvious that I didn't even think of it. Even though I can see the book "Wild Fermentation" from my bed, where I'm sitting right now. I plan on avoiding whatever it is I'm allergic to completely as soon as I can single it out. I am wondering mostly about different tactics for figuring it out, and self treatments should some of it land in my food with out me knowing. jenstate - I'll have to look into that treatment. Your niece's symptoms sound similar to what's been happening to me more regularly lately. Have been feeling quite distraught about it all because this allergy came at the end of another one that was covering me with spots, which turned out (I am 99% sure anyway) to be a laundry detergent allergy. Luckily I eat very few processed foods these days, so it won't be hard to cut out the ones that contain soy. Part of me is kind of glad that my body is forcing me to stop eating soy. Because I couldn't get it locally, and it's all processed crap anyway. So. The silver lining. Thanks again guys. :) Thanks guys!!

For all you know its an additive they use in the processing of soy products like soy milks- which could be why certain brands are worse than others. I don't know any better cure for allergic reactions (and I would know. curse you IPA beers!) than avoiding the thing in question and taking massive doses of benadryl if you happen to be exposed. But I'll look into the herbal route for you... one of my millions of books on the subjects must say something. Soy sauce and tempeh most likely wouldn’t bother you because they are fermented.

Soy is in nearly all processed food so read labels carefully! When/if you are ready to try an allergy therapy, you may want to try BAX 3000 - you can google it or go to www.biovedawellness.com.
