My 3 Yrs Old Daugther Is Allergy to Soybean. Help....

I would definitely stay away from anything that is made with ground meat because soy could be added as a filler.

Here are some articles that I pulled up that I think may be useful reading for you:

I've also learned that a lot of the grocery stores carry a list of products that they have in stock that are soy-free or dairy-free or gluten-free, so all you have to do is ask them for a copy of it or try to access the list on-line.

Hope this helps.

Do you have a Whole Foods or a Trader Joe's near you? Those types of stores tend to be much better at carrying allergy friendly foods.

I have a child with 40+ food sensitivities (including chicken and eggs). We eat alot of pork, lean red meat, turkey. When we first started on this journey I tried to keep it simple: a protein, a vegetable and a starch (which for us was rice or potato because he is severely gluten intolerant).

It was so overwhelming at first. I spent 3 hours at Whole Foods the first time I went there searching for foods. You need to build up your "repertoire" of "safe" foods and things to eat.

You should also hit your library and bookstore for cook books that cater to allergy sensitive kids.

Its VERY expensive at first (be patient with yourself) but once you get used to your child's particular repertoire you will start to learn shortcuts.

Good luck - my heart goes out to you.

see if your health insurance will pay for a trip to the dietician/nutritionist! When I had gestational diabetes, nutrition training is what saved me from insulin! It's also is great for allergies.

I'm sorry you are dealing with this! Luckily, packaging has improved in the last few years and must list common allergens in BOLD around the ingredients area. Most plain meat should be okay, but you can look at the packaging on things like hot dogs. In your position, I'd feed beef, chicken, fish, turkey and then veggies and fruits, with some carefully chosen grains like plain oats that you flavor yourself, plain rice, etc. Many of the packaged crackers and things are full of soybean oil. If she can have cow's milk, I would include that and yogurt, cottage cheese, cheese, butter, etc.

There are food allergy websites for parent support and such. My online friend whose daughter is highly allergic to several things told me that even the paid site has been worth joining for the support and info.

Best of luck to you both!
