Causes Of Soy Allergy

All food allergies are caused by an immune system response. The immune system identifies certain soy proteins as harmful, triggering the production of immunoglobulin E (IgE) compared to soy protein (allergen). The next time you come into contact with soy, IgE antibodies that recognize the signal and the immune system to release histamine and other chemicals in the blood.

Body chemicals cause a variety histamine and other allergic symptoms. Histamine is partly responsible for most allergic reactions, including runny nose, itchy, dry throat, rashes and hives, nausea, diarrhea, difficulty breathing and even anaphylactic shock.
