Is anyone else afraid of this? My 7 yo PA DS takes IM Healthy Soybutter in his lunch 2-3 times per week. I have a gnawing fear that he'll develop a soy allergy. And as bad as PA is, SA could be downright horrific, considering its prevalence in foods. When I'm talking about DS' PA to non-PA parents, I sometimes say, PA is bad, but a severe dairy or soy allergy would be worse for us because they're in everything it seems.

Perhaps a reason for my fear is that I had a small soy allergy when I was a child (may still have it???). My father worked at a Chevy dealer, and we used to joke that I was allergic to Ford cars because they used soybean oil in their car seats (remember vinyl car seats?). I must say that I've never associated a problem with my soy allergy.

Has anyone developed a soy allergy after their peanut allergy? Anyone else have this fear?
