Hi,

I avoided soya in the beginning, and then it never showed up on my YORK test. Since then I have avoided it still, but allow a little in certain foods that I would not otherwise be able to eat, (just had waldorf salad actually, using a half soya-mayo and half tahini with extra lemon juice). I have read elsewhere that it is a problem in all elements of the soya bean.

The best thing to do is to avoid it completeley for 2 months and then eat 3 small/medium sized portions of it over 2 days. you will know the answer then. If you can eat it do not over do it as you will soon become sensitive to it.

I have a wonderful ciabata roll that I eat occasionally that uses soya, and a soya custard. I probably have one of these once per month.

Legumes in general are the hardest thing to test as there are so many. Remember that not all legumes are equal. I can eat peas, chickpeas and greenbeans and soya in small doses, but cannot eat peanuts, (includes cashews, same family), beans, lentils etc. I often wonder about some of hte more obscure beans that I have never eaten before.
