Soy allergy: Allergic reaction to soy and soy products
-
Soy is a product of soybeans, which are in the legume family (along with beans, lentils, peas and peanuts). It is a common ingredient in infant formulas and many other processed foods. Some patients, especially young children, have an allergic reaction to soy and soy products. Nausea, rashes and a stuffy nose are some of the common signs of a soy allergy. Very sporadically, a serious, life-threatening reaction with difficulty in breathing and other serious signs develops. Drug treatment can be used for both mild and severe symptoms.

Causes of soy allergy
-
Food allergies are the result of a reaction of the immune system. With a soy allergy, the immune system thinks that certain soy proteins are harmful. In response to this, immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies are produced against the soy protein (allergen = triggering agent of an allergic reaction). The next time the patient comes into contact with soy, these IgE antibodies recognize the allergen and instruct the immune system to release histamine and other chemicals into the bloodstream. Histamine and other substances in the body cause a variety of allergy symptoms. Histamine is partly responsible for most allergic reactions, including a runny nose, itchy eyes, a dry throat, a rash and hives, nausea, diarrhea, difficulty breathing and anaphylactic shock
Risk factors
-
If other allergies such as hay fever, asthma, hives or eczema (chronic skin disease with dry skin and itchy skin) are present in family members, a patient is more likely to experience an allergic reaction to soy and soy products.
