Doc says my son is allergic to soybean milk, but he always drinks it and has no reactions. help?

Diagnosis??: Depends on how the concept was obtained. There are several lab ways. Soy milk is not necessarily a "health drink" anyway. A paper in a medical journal reported that the health of an aged population that had consumed soy in their middle years were less healthy than those that had not..

Why ?: I would never investigate a kid for soy allergy unless there were a problem. If the issue came up on a blood test, and reflected only IgG antibodies, it is not worth worrying about.If the kid had high IgE to soy it would be a problem & would also produce reactions. Skin tests are not always predictive of actual clinical importance. Kids don't need milk anyway, they can get calcium from supplements
