Maybe that's what the nut job who ran on stage during Bob Dylan's performance years ago meant when he had "Soy Bomb" painted on his chest....... hmmm... It's everywhere, it's everywhere.

My question is: how long did it take to get over your soy reactions? It's been a week of no soy goodness and I still am having issues with my eyes itching and burning. I'm trying to figure out if I just need to hang tight and let my body clean out or if I need to start looking for yet another allergy (I'm down to veggies, fruit, meat and tiny amounts of rice and corn as it is!)

Soy for me causes instant chest pain, anxiety and heartburn that lasts for days. Soy oil and lecithin get me just as bad as whole soy. These problems didn't go away with just eliminating all soy; I had to go as far as all legumes. Peanuts, beans, peas... ALL of them cause these problems for me. Not as strongly as with soy, but they're definitely big problems for me. Just a thought.

Soy suks. No doubt about it. Searchy on "soy rat intestine", "soy infant thyroid", "soy hormone imbalance", "soy end of the world" etc and you'll see. Ok, I made that last one up, don't search on that!

Also don't search on "soy for a wonderful world of light and hope", or "soy for all the girls in string bikinis you want", just depressing stuff...

Joking aside, soy did a lot of nasties to me. Joint pain, syncope, edema, gut pain, that other nasty stuff people on here talk about too. I don't think anyone should eat soy. I put it out on my deck for the birds to eat and they turned up their beaks at it. That's enough to convince me.

Me three! :angry:

Last week I made the mistake of trying some peanut butter after being off all legumes strictly for quite a while......bad idea. Ruined my whole weekend.

Me four! Then I messed it up even further by trying to add cheese back in.. even worse... of course maybe the PB had already made things bad enough. Oh, and lest we get off track.. I still hate soy.

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      Bread has about 8 g of protein per 100 g, so a piece of bread weighing 125 mg contains 10 mg of gluten. Bread has a density of about 0.25 g/ml, so 0.5 ml of bread contains 10 mg of gluten - i.e. a bread ball 1 cm in diameter. I think it would be unlikely to ingest this much from throwing bread out for the birds.

      Sciatica came to mind for me as well. You might want to get some imaging done on your C-spine.

      Maybe this is sciatica? When mine acts up a little, I switch my wallet from one back pocket to the other. this isn't a substitute for more serious medical help, but for me it's a bandaid.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      OK so I just learned something completely new about this for the first time in years, that is REALLY WEIRD. One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the...

      Zaalouk moroccan eggplant salad

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped...

One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the hell. I've never seen a direct trigger such as this before that I can recall. The pain was the usual type I get from this problem - I suspect somehow the head movement was interrupting descending inhibition processes, causing the pain to leak through somehow.

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped baby spinach or celery leaves to add a dash of green color to this red dish. Best eaten in first couple days because flavor tends to fade. Leftovers are still good, but not as vibrant. Ingredients 2 medium eggplants, partially peeled and cut into cubes (original recipe says 1 in, but I prefer 1/2 to 3/4 in) 2 tomatoes, peeled and crushed 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced 1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons spicy harissa (I use Mina brand) 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon paprika ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional) Salt to taste Preparation     • Heat olive oil in skillet or pot over medium heat. Add all ingredients and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook on low heat for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.       • Serve warm or cold as a side or with bread for dipping. Enjoy!
