I think, David, that those of us who have problems with soy all react in different ways. For example, for me it causes a red rash like scarlet fever, but intensely!! itchy. Others have GI problems, I believe. Really, the only way you can find out if you are sensitive to it is to eliminate it and see if your symptoms go away. Most of these intolerances are a matter of trial and elimination.

For me, my reactions to soy are hit or miss, more often "HIT". If I drink soy milk or eat soybean oil I almost always get 'D'--like running for the bathroom within 10-60 minutes. If I were to continue ingesting it for a day or two the 'C' sets in and is miserable til I stop eating it for a week or so.

Hi Guys:

Thanks for all of the help. I've just got to start an elimination diet and see what happens. I'm feeling slightly better than when before I switched to a gluten-free, but its frustating not knowing what to cut out of the diet.

Not to complicate things, but I just noticed my non-dairy coffee creamer had something called caeinate in it. Is that something containing casein? That could be a culprit too.

Oh well, I'l figure it out eventually... Thanks in no small part to all of these helpful responses.
