No Soy? Not Possible

I can't eat soy anything without a nasty sensitivity reaction. Many children and about four percent of adults cannot eat soy as an ingredient or anything at all made with soybeans. The reaction is akin to a peanut butter allergy on a lighter scale. It  can throw some people quickly into shock. I am not an allergy expert but I know how I feel and have done for many years after eating  soy and/or MSG.  When this first began I was in middle age when the reaction became undeniable. I love what we in North America call Chinese food but the, when I came out of a lovely dinner at a restaurant, I became almost immediately ill with ugly symptoms including the threat of losing consciousness and feeling that I was dying. All the signs of shock. I tried to convince my doctor of the situation merely to find out if I were right about the reaction and he sluffed it off saying that MSG which since the nineteen thirties is extracted from soy beans, was natural. The allergist he sent me to refused to test me because he feared the reaction I would have. Even a little bit causes it. I thought it was MSG that was the problem but since then having a reaction from tins and boxes that promise "no added MSG" there is certainly what is called a "natural" MSG in them. None has been added, but it's there in a natural state. Often it is called "spices" or "flavoured" because the commercial folk want it to stay that way. People come back to eat more with MSG.  It may be a natural product but just like peanuts, natural or not, it can cause some people violent reactions. As we age in life, often these sensitivities, maybe not allergies, can develop and when we find that we feel ill or have abdominal cramping and its effects we should investigate to see what it is we have consumed. Many people find that they can't eat cheese or wheat products or perhaps shrimp,  and so on. I recall the days when we all used something called Accent and poured it on our meats and put it into other dishes not realizing it is pure MSG. It certainly does give your body a message. It's that what you ate is so delicious that you crave more almost immediately. Fried chicken outlets are famous for slathering it on their meats or putting it into those delicious crispy fried batters. If you aren't sure why you head for the bathroom half an hour after eating it, you might check the labels to see what you are eating.  Is it monosodium glutamate? MSG.  It is in virtually most soups, gravies, prepared foods, meats and snacks. Check it out for yourself.
