I have food allergy.Will this allergy persist for the rest of my life?
Partially depends on the food. Some foods like tree nuts only resolve in 6% of people. Other foods like milk and eggs resolve in the majority of people. You should never test this yourself. You should consult a board certified allergist and get tested. If negative then an oral challenge to the food in the allergists office might be recommended. Never try this yourself. READ MORE
Why am I allergic to just soy milk and no other soy product?
Reactions to soy protein drinks have been reported in patients with birch tree pollinosis. The Gly m 4 component of soy protein is cross-reactive with birch tree Bet v1/ PR-10 allergens. Avoiding all soy products is extremely difficult. When a diagnosis of birch pollen related, Gly m4 soy allergy is confirmed, patients may only need to avoid soy drinks rather than all soy products. Patients with oral allergy to birch related fruits should be warned of this potential reaction. J ALLERGY CLIN IMMUNOL FEBRUARY 2012 READ MORE

Each pollen has a list of crossing reacting foods. The allergen is heat lability and is denatured to a non allergenic form by heating. READ MORE
