  Has anyone tried the new So Delicious Coconut Milk beverages or yogurt? They are so incredible! You can use the coconut milk just like you would use dairy or soy milk, and it tastes amazing! (especially the vanilla.)

  I just started trying to remove soy from my diet to try and determine whether or not it is a trigger for my migraines.
  
  I've noticed that sometimes products do not list soy as an allergen if it's in the form of Soy Lecithin or Soy Oil. Is this something I should stay away from if I'm trying to remove soy from my diet? I've read that the proteins are different and should not hurt someone with a soy allergy or intolerance but I'm not sure how much I trust that.

    My son is mildly allergic and will get a reaction from all Soy usually in the form of a rash but you may have reaction in form of migraines. I get migraines when I ingest any form of wheat even the wheat used in beauty products. I read all labels even on products we have used in the past unless it says free of etc...

    You should for sure stay away from soy lecithin, soy protein, soy flour, vegetable protein. I know there are others but I can't think of them right now. Soy oil should be fine. My doc said I could drink a gallon of it and not have a problem. Soy oil is so purified that there are no proteins left in it and the proteins are what causes allergies. What you need to stay away from also depends on the severity of your allergy and how often you eat it. A lot of people can have small amounts of soy without noticable reaction, but I can't have any without pretty bad problems. You might just go get an allergy test. They aren't 100% correct, but can help.

    I get really bad Migraines and don't ANY soy. But, I do know that anything that is hydrolyzed will cause headaches because of the way they extract it, it leaves some nasty residues behind. However, I think that my headaches are related to hormones, and soy definitely messes w/ hormones! Good luck. Let us know if it works! Good idea to stay away from soy anyway.

    btw- i can't even put any form of soy on my skin, let alone eat it, that includes vitamin e derived from soy, soy lecithin, soy oil, vegetable glycerin derived from soy... nada. I get nasty sores on my face and bad stomach aches. Doesn't seem to do anything to my headaches though.

    I can't eat any form of Soy either. just to let you know envirokids cereal all of them are gluten free but have a cross contamination warning for Soy, peanuts and tree nuts. Sigh!
    Hard when I'm Both!
    about the soy lecithin, brooks advice sounds good, but I was going to say ask your allergist or PCP.

  I have one friend who is allergic who likes to present the restaurant with Soy allergy alert cards when she dines. She's only moderately allergic and this seems to go well in most places. I found some for purchase online here:

  But I was wondering if anyone else had made their own cards themselves and was wondering if they'd like to share them. :D I thought it might be cool if Zeer created some cards for our users, too!
