I'm curious if folks strictly following the diet and therefore excluding legumes avoid soy lecithin. I've read various information that states that the proteins that generally cause allergic reactions have been removed in soy lecithin. I don't know if these same proteins are what are causing the issue for those of us with MS vs. those who are allergic to soy, so I don't know how to evaluate this. Soy lecithin seems to be there just as I think I'm clear with various gluten and dairy free foods.
I haven't figured out if legumes are a no-no for me yet, so I avoid them. I'd love to be eating beans, that's for sure! Any thought are appreciated. Eat well.

Thanks for the information. I've had a little regression the last few weeks after been basically symptom free for June and most of July. In my tracing it back, soy seems to be the thing that I god casual on (all the while eating some eggs). I've gone back to square one and elimited all the bad five from my diet and I'm slowly starting to feel better. I'm hopeful that I can get back to zero symptoms and then I think I will experiment with legumes and soy products to figure out if they are a key trigger. I'm curious what enzyme you're taking as well (I take a bunch of supplements from my holistic doctor). Thanks.

Gerald,
I eat a large variety of legumes, but a couple of things. I try not to eat the same legume two days in a row and I take a digest support enzyme based product. Not only does it address the gas factor, but it also seems to help my body process them much better. I think there is a lot to food combinations and not repeating the same foods for at least 3 meals. Thus giving your body a chance to digest fully. Some combos. seem to put a strain on digestion more than others and differs for each person.
