Pump and Dump?

So all next week I will be away on a work trip.  It's a large offsite meeting, so all the meals have been planned for us, and I know that one night we'll be going to a fancy Asian restaurant.  I have been avoiding dairy and soy because of my breastfed daughter's allergies, but I know I'm going to have a hard time avoiding soy during this meal.  Unless I just eat very little, but as this is a work dinner I'd really like to fully participate.  If I did eat some soy, would it be possible to pump and dump? Is it like alcohol, where it leaves your system after a few hours? If I had to pump and dump one session, I could do that, but if it meant dumping several days worth of milk, it wouldn't be worth it.

    Pumping and Dumping doesn't work in this case because soy takes up to a week to clear your  system (dairy is closer to 2 weeks).  My DD2 reacts to even the slightest amounts of her trigger foods, so the rotation method wouldn't work for her, but

    I was told that it takes allergens like dairy 24 hours to leave your system, but 2-3 weeks for it to clear LO's system and heal.
