I have the same thing. It took me ten years to rule things out. Plain as day, if I have soy oil, I will go a little wayward emotionally, mentally, and if I have enough, also noticeable skin issues - canker sores, flaking skin, scalp pimples, and random itchy patches I'll scratch to bleeding. Oh, and if I have enough, in a short amount of time, I can easily trigger a migraine. Sushi with soy oil, mayonnaise (soybean oil), and fried foods are all drifting away from me.

I'm not allergic to soy - I went to an allergy doctor and did the little skin application test, and it's not a histamine reaction. So the term is "sensitive" - I'm "soy sensitive".

If I eat 'clean' for 14 to 21 days, I get a clarity that compels me to continue avoiding it. I'm happy to connect with anyone (profile) that wants to swap notes on this - it's incredibly frustrating to figure out. Dealing with it, not so much. Almost all aspects improve with its avoidance.
