Allergy to Beans

QuestionI am a vegetarian who is allergic to beans, especially soy. I have eczema and respiratory reactions to beans.   I would appreciate any suggestions on how to elimiante this problem.  Thank you for your consideration.

AnswerAllergies to beans, especially soy products, are increasingly common.  Their high protein content can be allergenic. It is not necessary to eat beans or soy products on a vegetarian diet. Any reasonable variety of fruits, vegetables, and grains with do. Good luck.
