Eliminating soy
I am trying to eliminate soy from my son’s GFCF diet. This is proving verydifficult as most of the GFCF foods have soy in them. I know it is criticalto eliminate very speck of gluten and casein, I wondered how important is itto eliminate even a minute amount of food that he is sensitive to, like soy.For example, some food have soy lethicin listed, but it appears to be asmall amount. How critical would it be to eliminate a food like that? Italso seems that most GFCF chips may have soybean oil in them. What aboutthat?

We are also soy-free and it is hard to find gcfc stuff that doesn’t have it.I asked Dr. McCandless about soy lecithin; she says that unless the child ishighly sensitive to soy, the lecithin is so highly processed that it usuallyis not a problem.
So, with the exception of soy lecithin, we are a soy-free household. We donot buy products that have soybean oil.

I had LJ allergy tested and soy is one of the many that he came upsensitive to. Its only a class 1 allergy, but I still eliminate itexcept for about 2x a month I let him have products with soy in them -but never soy beverage. The allergy tests I have run on LJ are a simpleblood draw and they check for MANY food and environmental items.Denise in NY (LJs mom)
