Out is all the foods I'm allergic to SOY has to be the worst. It is in absolutely Everything! It's in ice cream, chocolate, crackers, oils for bread at sandwich fast food places, the entire menu at steak-n-shake, almost all gum, etc. This poison has no real nutritional value and is used as a binding agent and/or filler for many products. You must read the ingredients in Everything!
So I hope this helps somebody out there that is struggling with the same problems I have experienced. I'm hoping to avoid ever having another throat dialation by simply avoid the problem foods. I used to drink “ensures” and other protein drinks to supplement my poor ability to eat only to find out years later that the ensures contain soy and other ingredients that were part of the problem.
By the way, if you love chocolate and can't find any that doesn't contain soy lecithin, Kroger sells a brand called “Green & Blacks” dark chocolate that is soy free!
Also, a teaspoon of baking soda and a glass of water works better than the antacid medication they prescribe you and is better for you. (Although I'm not a doctor just a guy of whom has had real-life experiences with these problems for years and am winning the battle! )
Good luck to all!
