Feeling a bit in fear.

[Belgian girl]

I'm probably allergic to soja or I expect to have an intolerance to it. I'm just thinking about 4,5 cookies I ate about 2,5 hours ago. I eat them often and there's not even soy used as an ingredient but the similar ones, the ones with chocolat covered, contains and that must be why it's mentioned as an allergen that's used at the same fabric as this one. I'm just wondering how necessairy it is to feel scared now. Again, I understand it's 'just' a forum and doctor's and hospital medical info usually is the best and the one I mainly should rely on.

You always post the same thing. Why do you eat these things then?

[dragon lady]

Why do you keep eating things that trigger your allergy fears? Have you thought about not eating them?

I would have to agree with this.

[Belgian girl]

I think this is new mentioned at the allergy list at the package.

[Belgian girl]

I just hope I 'm fine there this amount of time has passed by.

[Belgian girl]

It's not an ingredient btw. And I drunk a cup of coffee, a glas of fruitsmoothie and a glass of chocolat milk right after it. All things that are good against allergies. And I just took half an allergy tablet and will take another half now.

[Belgian girl]

I eat those weekly, nearly daily. But don't want to eat them now that I read this at the package.

[Belgian girl]

The reason I think about having an allergy or intolerance to soy is b/c I noticed a reaction about 1,5-2 months ago when I drunk whole liter of soy milk almost directly after each other. Even if it contained soy now it must be really little, I think.

[annie24]

have you eaten these cookies before? did you have a problem then?

 

i think you're probably alright because you haven't had a problem. like i said before, allergies and intolerances, you'll know right away.

 

i know it's a pain, but i highly recommend only eating either food you make yourself, so then you can control what goes in there. or if you must eat something prepared, it's better to eat something from a standard recipe (like oreo cookies or a burger at a place like McDonalds) where they ALWAYS have the same ingredients. instead of having food at a place where you don't know what goes in, and especially if it's a small bakery, you don't know what they put in this week. they probably make cookies out of whatever they have around.

 

most cookies i know of don't contain Soy. or if they have some it is so so so so small that nothing will happen.

wow, why did you drink so much soy milk in one sitting? i think anyone would have a reaction with that much!!!

 

how much soy is in the cookie? i'd say far far less than a drop. and cookies are baked as well so that probably destroyed the proteins in there as well.

[Belgian girl]

I asked a friend at that time, who stayed over anyway, to join me walking to the emergency. I decided not to inscribe but preferred to at least explain the situation to the ones at the reception desk (it was night btw). So I felt more comfortable in case it would get worse there I explained them already. I took an allergy tablet and decided to return home there about an hour of time has passed by since I ate it so I expected it would be very safe.

Yeah, I agree. I was out of money for that day and wanted to be sure to have really enough hydratation. It was an exception.

well, water is better, and cheaper than soy milk!!

[Belgian girl]

These ones are from a package at supermarkets too btw. I think the ones covered with chocolat doesn't even contain real soy but only sojalecithine. Which is probably an as heavy allergen as soy but as far as I read on the Internet not everyone with allergy or intolerance to soy reacts to sojalecithine. I think I remember 1 out of 30 did.

[Belgian girl]

Yeah, I agree. But I already had it stored at home and was good to variate with other food and drinks I already took and against hunger (that was my reasoning).

[Belgian girl]

Dinosaurus koeken (dinosaur cookies) are the ones I'm about now btw.

[annie24]

i don't know about europe, but in the US, many cookies have a label that say, "This product is produced in a factory that also processes nuts and soy" or something like that. it doesn't mean that there is soy or nuts in the product, but that it's just PHYSICALLY in the same room! they just have to make that note to cover their butts against lawsuits. like i swear, i doubt that there is even one tiny drop of soy in there. if you gave the cookie to a chemist, i doubt they would be able to find even any soy in there.

[Belgian girl]

I didn't even feel itching btw so I 'm really pretty sure I 'll be fine. It's also just not a very nice hour of a day in case I feel like needing to go outside (4 at night/the morning a.t.m.).

Oh. Thank you. Didn't thought of that it could even mean it's only at the same room. Expected it would necessairily go through same machnes, coooking materials,..

[Belgian girl]

You're really a sweetheart Annie.

[annie24]

but yeah, they have to say that so they don't get sued. companies are really super careful.

 

big hugs. i am sure you are fine. get some sleep, ok!?

After marking it as helpful advice, yes.

[Belgian girl]

I must spread some Reputation to others first, ena says. They're right.

[Belgian girl]

Now it says I reached the maximum amount of Reputation points to spread around within 24 hours but I won't forget to deliver it another day and to give away to others too.
