Soy is MUCH MUCH harder to cut than dairy - it is in literally everything. </p> <p>That being said, it's extremely common for babies who are milk protein intolerant to also be soy protein intolerant, so it wouldn't surprise me if you do have to cut it. </p> <p>I was dairy, soy, egg, and nut free for 16 months (and for about 4 of those, eliminated several additional other things), so it's totally possible, but it does suck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dairy-intolerance-soy-also#post-2820170 Thu, 03 May 2018 18:02:09 +0000 Pollywog 2820170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most babies that can't tolerate dairy also can't tolerate soy. But, most of these babies can tolerate soy lechin and soy oil. I cut out both (and eggs)after a horrible reaction. After a month I started experimenting with my diet to see what was tolerated. I'd cut out both now and then try testing soy in a few weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dairy-intolerance-soy-also#post-2820168 Thu, 03 May 2018 17:45:10 +0000 skiierchck99 2820168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just had to do dairy. First, I’d have them check the stool fo blood - I wouldn’t cut something else on color or mucus alone since soy is SUCH a life impediment. Second, it can take up to 2 weeks for dairy to clear your system and Jen up to 2 weeks to clear your LO so I would probably keep the current regiment for 4 weeks before making any other big changes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dairy-intolerance-soy-also#post-2820112 Thu, 03 May 2018 13:33:19 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2820112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is a follow-up to my post last week. My 2-month-old daughter has been presumed to have a dairy intolerance due to green, mucusy stools. I’ve been dairy free for 2 weeks tomorrow. So far, her poop has gone back to regular brown/yellow but has occasionally been green again. It’s also still mucusy. Doctor suggested I try cutting out soy as well. I have no problem doing that, but wanted to ask the community here if that helped your baby. How long did you wait between eliminations to see if there were results before eliminating more? </p>
