[quote=Anonymous]Did this for over a year, and I feel for you!  First, I disagree with a PP who said to just cut one and see what happens.  Given that it takes a while for these to leave your system and how hard the elimination can be at the start, I recommend cutting both and once you hit a good base line with DC, you could try adding one back in and see what happens.  If there's a change for the worse, cut that back out until you're at baseline, then try the other. That's a better way to control and know if what you're seeing is really a reaction to X or Y.  You might add nuts into this equation and take those out getting to baseline and add in later to test for a reaction.

I found that I could have NO soy.  Not even soy lecithin.  But a little dairy was ok.  So a splash of cream in my coffee or a little parmesan cheese was fine.

Soy is the one that's really hard to cut because it's in so many processed foods.  That said, once you get used to eating soy and dairy free, it's not terribly hard and you're almost certain to lose some weight!  Some staples for me: avocado, chocolate cocnut ice cream (TJ's), TJ's exta dark chocolate bar, sunflower butter (instead of PB), lots of olive oil, and canola oil for cooking.  Also, Whole Foods carries soy and dairy free chocolate chips, so you can still bake!

Good luck - it's hard but not impossible, and you're doing this for your DC's health.  Let that (and the weight loss) motivate you!  Read labels carefully and be sure to ask a lot of questions if you eat out.  Most places cook with "vegetable" oil, which means soy.  [/quote]
