For the last two months Don has been sporting a new allergic reaction, in the form of itchy hives. At this point, we have finally narrowed down our suspicions to soy products. I thought an allergy to eggs and wheat would be bad, two of the three finalists still in the running, but even the latter takes a backseat to soy. The final tipoff came when Don used the last bit of a large bottle of vegetable oil and happened to read that it was not made from corn or canola, as we had assumed, but was 100% soy oil. Since then, we have discovered soy, in some form or another, in the following:
Pancake mix
Cake flower
Various margarines
Crisco shortening
Rice-a-roni
Cake mix
Miracle Whip
Mayonnaise
Canola Oil cooking spray
Oreos
Wheat Thins
Smokehouse almonds
Chili
Chicken noodle soup
Cookie Dough and Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream
Some vegetable oils
Some breads
...and those are just things around the house. I cringe to think of where all it occurs in restaurant food.
