Soy

Up to 0.5% of children have soy allergies, which are particularly frequent in newborns and young children under the age of three. A protein found in soybeans or products containing soybeans causes them. However, over 70% of kids with soy allergies outgrow the condition. The signs and symptoms might include everything from a runny nose and itchy, tingling lips to a rash, asthma, or breathing issues. A soy allergy sometimes can also result in anaphylaxis. A tiny percentage of infants with cow's milk allergies also have soy allergies.

Soybeans and soy derivatives like soy milk or soy sauce are common food allergens. It's crucial to check food labels because soy is a common ingredient in many meals. The only way to treat a soy allergy, like other allergies, is to avoid eating it.
