You may remember we had Sydney tested for food allergies a few weeks ago. I had a message yesterday that the results were back. I knew we could adjust to almost anything - except wheat or soybean allergy.
So, she is a, on a scale of 0 (no reaction) to 5 (severe reaction):
Soybean - 1
Peanut - 2
Strawberry - 2
She is going to be really sad about Peanut, but I might be able to convince her that almond or cashew butter is good. I guess I'm lucky that her peanut allergy isn't strong enough that she could end up in the ICU. That's good.
But, soy is going to be hard because so many foods come with Soybean protein or oil in them.
Any advice?
(oh, and we know why the milk and egg elimination diet didn't work - she's not allergic to either of those!)

Soy is definitely a hard one - you might ask your allergist if soybean oil and soy lecithin are okay, since the scores are so low.
As far as PB substitute, we love Sunbutter - made from sunflower seeds.
Best of luck to you!
