I didn't know I was intolerant to soy until I received the Enterolab results saying I was. Going off the soy I noticed some symptoms clearing up. Still, I sometimes have problems, leading me to think there may be other things I cannot tolerate.

I noticed the soy-type symptoms after having a gluten-free pasta with lupin flour in it. Since that is another legume, I apparently react to more than one.

So, I cut out peanuts and I was feeling better. Yesterday I challenged. (Sounds better than I saw this spicy peanut butter in my fridge & I was hungry & really had no proof I can't tolerate peanuts.) Now I'm having soy-type symptoms.

I was just hoping to get a sense of how common it is to react to both foods.

Eating vegan, I have other legumes quite frequently but I haven't noticed the same problem.

I react to soy but not to peanuts (it wouldn't let me vote unless I answered the second question too, but I didn't really have an answer for that question...) I don't eat peanut butter very often though and I don't know if my reaction to soy is an allergy or an intolerance (I actually suspect both but I can't say for sure...)

I'm intolerant to all legumes--soy, peanuts, string beans, all of them.

My reactions are the same: cramping that starts under my ribs and squeezes it's way down. I also get reflux from legumes--I had terrible reflux before going legume free. Now, I very rarely get it.

My first poll -- I've fixed it (I think). Thanks for letting me know.

Daughter is allergic to both peanuts and soy. Not sure which one causes a stronger reaction in her. She ate part of a cracker with soy in it and was doubled over in pain before she had even finished the cracker. So that was a pretty strong reaction. Normally soybean oil and peanut oil cause her to have nosebleeds. She seems to be able to handle soy lecithin on occasion without problems.

I've got the same problems as Patti. I'm intolerant to all legumes, including soy and peanuts.
