I can’t believe it, but it would appear that I am developing an allergy to soy. I didn’t seem to have any problems before when I was just a regular old vegetarian, but since I’ve cut out dairy and eggs I have been eating a lot more soy (soy cream, soy milk, soy cheeses, on top of the usual soy meat substitutes and tofu). It’s been about two months since I’ve increased my soy intake. About a week or so ago I started getting mild hives. They seem worst at night (like an hour or so after dinner where I usually get the most soy) and tend to go away for the most part during the day, but I had tofu for lunch and didn’t have a very severe reaction, so I don’t know what’s going on. I am going away for the night tomorrow and plan on eating a lot of soy so that I can rule out an allergy to my cat. I typically do not have allergies, although I did get hives a lot when I was a kid. Does it sound normal to get an allergy late in life like this? Are hives a common symptom of soy allergies? Thanks!
P.S. I’m asking here because I know other vegetarians will have more experience with soy related questions than most others and I recall a few people mentioning soy allergies here before.
Oh my gosh, such good information here. I just can’t thank you all enough. I’m going to leave the question up for a while to see if I get anymore responses. You guys rock!

I get allergies this time of the year and one nostril of my nose is clogged and I get this annoying tingling feeling in my nose. This usually makes me miss two weeks of school also. What is the best medicine for those types of allergies? Also I have no idea what causes them.

My husband has mild allergies. We have two young children, so I opt for carpet in areas where it is possible. Are there certain types of carpet that are best for someone with allergies?

I have been allergic to cats all my life. I also have other allergies. Every allergy medication i have tried works for all of my allegies except for the cat allergy. Every weekend i am over my boyfriend’s house and i suffer from the moment i walk in the door. I have been on every prescription allergy pill you can think of. Right now i am on Clartin D and it works great for every other allergy. I wish it worked on the cat allergy!! If someone can recommend something that might help i would appreciate it.
