So I'm dairy and soy free. I've been avoiding soybean oil as well, and it's really restricting a lot of things for me. DH stumbled across a site that said soybean oil isn't considered an allergen, so I started looking into it. Here are a few things I've found:
"Prevalence for soy protein allergy is estimated at 0.5% in the general population and 3-6% in children. Refined soybean oil is normally not considered as an allergen because it contains low levels of soy protein, typically 0.15mg per kg. It is estimated that the average consumption of soybean oil results in the intake of only 0.01mg soy protein. Most of the soy protein in soybean oil are trypsin inhibitors and not the typical soy allergens."

"Highly refined soybean oil does not cause reactions in people who are allergic to soybeans"https://www.news-medical.net/news/2005/04/28/9614.aspx "Highly refined soybean oil does not cause reactions in people who are allergic to soybeans, claim US food scientists at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln." https://www.foodnavigator-usa.com/Science-Nutrition/Refined-soybean-oil-not-an-allergen-say-food-scientists Have any of you ladies talked to your doctors about this? I was going to call the GI and ask about it, because eating soybean oil would make life a LOT easier for me. Just thought that was interesting; I'm kind of excited about it
Re: Food Sensitivity Mamas- Soybean Oil
Most soy allergic ppl can have soybean oil and lechithin. Key word being "most". Ari cannot even think about soy w/o having a reaction. lol.
We asked his allergist about it & he said that some very sensitive ppl will have reactions. You're best bet is to challenge it. Eat a good sized portion of something with soybean oil, & watch your LO for 2-3 days for reactions. Then eat a portion for 2 days in a row, & watch again.
