I went back to the allergist after a two year hiatus and found that I'm now also allergic to: soy, almonds, hazelnuts, peanuts, and tomatoes. At first I was optimistic. After all, I've been down this road before. My suspicion over the nut allergy is what triggered the visit in the first place. But soy? I had recently switched to soy milk because of some dairy intolerance, and I liked it. Soy is in everything! And so are tomatoes!
I've done some research and discovered that the tomato thing is probably related to oral allergy syndrome and that I can probably tolerate them cooked. I will hold off on testing that theory until my symptoms clear up. I also went to Whole Foods and got some soy free chocolate. I have a chocolate problem. But at least now I don't have a chocolate has soy problem.
