| '''Soy allergy''' is a type of [[food allergy]]. "Soy allergy" ([[American English|U.S.]]) or ''Soya allergy'' ([[British English|UK]]) is one of the most common [[Food allergy|food allergies]].<ref>[http://www.nexusmagazine.com/articles/Soy%20Allergens.html ''Nexus Magazine''] August-September, 2004; The Hidden Dangers of Soy Allergens by Kaayla T. Daniel, PhD, CCN, retrieved September 7, 2006</ref> It is a hypersensitivity to [[diet (nutrition)|diet]]ary substances from [[soy]] causing an overreaction of the immune system which may lead to severe physical symptoms for millions of people<ref> National Institutes of Health, NIAID Allergy Statistics 2005 http://www.niaid.nih.gov/factsheets/allergystat.htm</ref>. The [[Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America]] estimates soy is among the nine most common food allergens for pediatric and adult food allergy patients<ref> “Allergy Facts and Figures,” Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America http://www.aafa.org/display.cfm?id=9&sub=20&cont=518</ref>. It is usually treated with an exclusion [[Dieting|diet]] and vigilant avoidance of foods that may be contaminated with soy ingredients. The most severe food allergy reaction is called [[anaphylaxis]]<ref> National Report of the Expert Panel on Food Allergy Research, NIH-NIAID 2003 http://www3.niaid.nih.gov/about/organization/dait/PDF/june30_2003.pdf</ref> and is a [[medical emergency]] requiring immediate attention and treatment with [[Epinephrine]].

| Those allergic to [[soy protein]] should always read food ingredient labels carefully and avoid any foods containing [[soybean]], including the substances listed below. Caution should be exercised when dining at Asian restaurants or when using Asian sauces, which may contain soy.

| ==Reactions and Treatment== | | ==[[Soy allergy overview|Overview]]== |
| Some people who are allergic to soy protein may have an extreme allergic reaction and go into [[anaphylactic shock]] (anaphylaxis). In cases of anaphylaxis, emergency medical personnel typically administer [[epinephrine]] (available as an [[autoinjector]], such as [[EpiPen]]) and an [[antihistamine]] such as Benadryl ([[diphenhydramine]]). In event of an [[allergic reaction]], the victim should see a physician or immediately go to the emergency room, as anaphylaxis can be fatal if not treated immediately.

| Soy allergy can also manifest itself as [[urticaria]], [[rash]], redness ([[inflammation]] due to immune system response) and severe [[itching]] of the skin. These symptoms can happen immediately, but may also manifest a day (or even days) after consuming soy protein.<ref>[http://www.nexusmagazine.com/articles/Soy%20Allergens.html ''Nexus Magazine''] August-September, 2004; The Hidden Dangers of Soy Allergens by Kaayla T.

| Many fast-food restaurants commonly use soy protein in hamburger buns (soy flour) hamburger meat (soy protein) and [[hydrolyzed vegetable protein]] (HVP) in sauces. On their respective web sites, McDonald's, Burger King and Wendy's list soy flour as an ingredient in their hamburger buns.<ref>[http://www.mcdonalds.com/app_controller.nutrition.categories.ingredients.index.html "McDonald's Nutrition Information and Ingredients"], August 26, 2006, retrieved September 7, 2006</ref><ref>[http://www.bk.com/Nutrition/PDFs/ingredients.pdf ''McDonald's USA''] (11 page PDF file) "Burger King Nutrition and Ingredients" ''Burger King Brands Inc.

| Some products [for reasons having to do with national regulation of soy products] don't list soy protein or soy flour on their ingredients labels, yet they still contain soy. There are still many latent issues resolving how soy should be regulated.

| Studies show that most individuals who are allergic to soy protein may be able to safely consume soybean oil (not cold pressed, expeller pressed, or extruded oil) and soy [[lecithin]], as these products do not normally contain soy protein.<ref>[http://allergies.about.com/cs/soy/a/aa061499.htm ''about.com''] "Soy Allergy" August 13, 2006, retrieved September 7, 2006</ref>

| Many soy-allergic individuals are sensitive to soy protein. As a result, some may be able to tolerate consumption of soy oil,
| | ==Related Chapters== |
| which contains little soy protein. Additionally, many commercially sold foods include small amounts of soy lecithin, an emulsifier. Individuals with mild soy allergies may be able to tolerate foods with soy [[lecithin]] (for example when soy lecithin
| |
| is among the last on a long list of ingredients). For individuals who are able to tolerate these small amounts of soy, allowing
| |
| soy oil and lecithin creates a much less restrictive diet.
