soy protein vs.soy oils

My poor DS was diagnosed with a mp allergy.  We thought that was all, but now he has eczema all over his face, neck, chest, ankles, behind the knees, etc.  Pedi has told me to cut out soy as well.  For now, I plan to cut all soy.  However, I read online that most babies can tolerate soy oil since there aren't proteins in it.  Has anyone experienced this?  My other question is that the pedi has still not mentioned an allergist referral.  I plan to bring this up in January at his four month appointment.  What has your pediatrician done regarding allergy testing?

TIA

PS- I am new to all of this and pretty shocked that he actually has these allergies.  I was in denial for awhile! 


The day you were born was the best day of my life! So in love...again!

As for soy oil, some are fine while others react to it. If it was me, I'd cut everything out and then once his symptoms calm down, I'd try something w soybean oil.
As for the doc, I. Honestly don't remember if we brought it up or pedi. DD had eczema badly for a while but we didn't piece it all together until she broke out in hives after she had yogurt at 7m. Had 1st allergist visit around 9m took that lond to get appt and they did skin testing for 4 items. After that, pedi ordered blood testing to confirm those results.
Good luck w your journey!

Like the PP said, I would eliminate all soy first then try soybean oil.  My son cannot tolerate it.  Good luck!

I agree with PP, eliminate all first until symptoms subside and then try it.

My son has a soy allergy, but he can tolerate soybean oil as long as it is not expeller pressed (that still contains the protein).
