soy allergy
Legume immune reaction
A soy allergy is an immune reaction to proteins found in soybeans and soy products.
Common in infants and young children, most outgrow it.
Symptoms range from mild (hives, itching) to severe (anaphylaxis).
Managing it requires avoiding soy in all forms, which is challenging since soy appears in countless processed foods: Reading labels is essential with a soy allergy.
