You might also test different types of soy. For example, some people have trouble with isolated soy protein or chocolate soymilk, but they can eat organic tofu just fine. People do occasionally outgrow soy allergies, but it can take a year or more of complete avoidance to stop triggering a negative response.
Once you determine you have a problem with soy, your quickest route to embracing tempeh probably involves a year of soy-abstinence. Then you can try your experiment again, taking some food enzymes to encourage a happier outcome. If you tolerate gluten, you can enjoy seitan in place of tempeh or tofu.
Legumes and nuts contain large amounts of protein, too. Soaking beans, nuts, seeds and grains activates their enzymes, thereby increasing the protein your body can absorb from them. If you still feel concerned about getting adequate protein, Rainbow Light and Nutribiotic make rice protein powders, and a variety of sources sell hemp protein powder, which does not cause the bloating associated with whey or soy supplements.
Also consider some of the largest and strongest animals on earth—gorillas, elephants, bison—who eat mostly greens. Choosing amino-acid rich grasses and leaves, they grow huge muscles without soy sausages and protein supplements. You can, too. Blend a handful or two of greens with two cups of water and some fruit. You might even throw in some superfoods like spirulina, acai berries or hemp nuts.
Green smoothies improve your digestion, sometimes eliminating the strain that caused your original sensitivity. There are lots of soy-free burgers on the market today! Just read labels. You can also make your own by mixing a grain, some beans or seeds, something gooey like nut butter or oil, fresh herbs, and other seasonings—mashing them all together into a patty. Same goes for dairy-free milks. There are so many kinds on the market — rice, almond, cashew hemp You can make your own alternative milks.
To make almond milk, soak 1 cup raw almonds overnight in the refrigerator. Rinse and add three cups of water. Save the pulp for something else and then re-blend the liquid, adding in any flavoring you desire. Allergies of any kind indicate that your body has passed its threshold for effective elimination of toxins.
Ongoing stress, physical or emotional trauma, exposure to pesticides or pollution, medication, and diets rich in animal fat increase our toxic load. Some people develop cancer; others get asthma. Sometimes the body instinctively rejects otherwise healthy foods that require extra processing. A healthy body digests soy or wheat, but in a compromised state, even health foods can trigger an aggressive immune response.
Burdock root and milk thistle provide liver support, while red clover helps the kidneys. Nettles support kidneys and open the bronchia. Green smoothies, psyllium husks and raw foods stimulate and cleanse the colon. You can also try fasting one day per week, in order to give your digestive system a much needed break.
Most people with food allergies, including soy allergy, also suffer from Candida overgrowth. These undigested protein molecules seem like foreign invaders to the immune system, which launches an attack.
Candida produces a severe die-off reaction, so cleansing requires patience. For more information and articles, please view International Renaissance Coaching.
I would like to point out that allergies are not caused by failure to eliminate toxins. My legume allergy is triggered by even trace amounts, which is related to the incredible tight binding of IgE to mast cells, which trigger a rapid inflammatory response. Even after a "cleanse" these mast cells will still be present, as they do not rely on any level of "toxin. My allergy to soy shows itself with hives. I get instant itching and whelts sprout up over my body.
Why suggest beans for those allergic to soy? Most people who can't tolerate soy can't tolerate beans garbanzo, kidney etc. Samantha, it seems true that many, but not all, of those allergic to soy are are also allergic to beans. This is certainly a matter that every individual who is sensitive to soy should discuss with their allergist. Thanks for the input. Really now. I'm glad that you have a strong imagination and empathy for animals, but reaLLY? If you can telepathically communicate with them and they're dead that's generally how Americans eat them , then it would seem like the suffering is over and the line is cut.
What if you eat something that has meat or animal product in it but you weren't told? Do you still feel their pain? What about the vegetables--can you communicate telepathically with them? Do they like being eaten? Just saying I have been drinking soy milk for about a year now, then from out of no where I developers stomach issues and joint pain. I went off the soy milk for about a week and started feeling better. Went back on soy milk and have all the issues again!!
I have what seems like a soy intolerance. I am allergic to nuts. I cannot tolerate sea-based products such as algae. I can eat cheese, but milk triggers an allergic reaction, and eggs are only ok in small quantities, baked in, as in a cake. I have been a vegetarian for 10 years, and nearly vegan at times. Seitan can be used in salads, soups and stir fries- very similar to tofu. While almond milk does not have as much protein per glass as soy beverage-it does tend to be fortified with many of the important vitamins and minerals-similar to soy beverages.
Of course, avoid soy nuts-and be sure to check the label for warnings that the product may include soy. Depending on where the nuts and seeds were processed-there is a chance that they may have been cross contaminated with soy. Overall, it will be helpful to prepare foods of your own at home-so you know exactly what ingredients have been added to them.
This can be especially helpful when you are preparing your own sauces, soups and breaded items. If you live with someone who may be consuming sources of soy, it will be important to ensure that your food does not becoming cross contaminated as well. You can use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce, and chickpea miso instead of soy-based miso. Also opt for almond milk, oat milk or rice milk instead of soy milk.
I'm allergic to corn The easiest way to replace cornstarch is to use arrowroot available at all health food stores and larger supermarkets. Another option is potato starch, though I have never used it. After a little Googling, I found this recipe where millet is used to make cornbread. In most recipes that call for corn, such as a vegetable chili, you can leave the corn out without running into problems.
Obviously, you'll need to avoid corn chowder — but any soup or dish with corn as a component will generally survive if the corn is missing. There are some whole grains you have to avoid, like barley or couscous — but quinoa, rice, millet or any other gluten-free grain can generally be substituted without issue. Brown rice wraps and corn tortillas are easier to come by and a great alternative to their white flour counterpart.
You can also make or buy commercially prepared gluten-free flour blends that replace whole-wheat flours in cooking. You can find brown rice pasta and quinoa pasta at all supermarkets. Although I advocate eating as whole as possible whole grains over fiber broken grains like breads and pasta , you can still find or make gluten-free alternatives with ease. For soy sauce, use wheat-free tamari. Our friends at Engine 2 also have great posts on allergies, including tips for substitutions.
