Dining Without Soy Thanks to alert reader, Jodi for this information on Pizzaria Uno. I am allergic to soy too! So finding items to eat at restaurants is a challenge. I found at Uno’s I can eat their veggie soup and the oyster crackers that come with it and their pasta with butter (but make sure that restaurant is … Read more
I just received this information from alert reader, Beth Moody. Carrabbas has changed! The last time I went, July 2014, there were only 2 entrees that did not contain soy. It pays to ask every time! Beth brings up a very good point. As useful as all of this information is, you just never know … Read more
We got to go to Idlewilde and SoakZone in Ligonier, Pennsylvania. As far as the allergies go, it was good news, bad news, wonderful news.

This its either something new and exciting, or it’s got soybean oil in it and i just forgot to note that from our last visit. Waiting to hear from the waitress as to which it is. WhoHoo. It is actually 100% canola oil. So the french fries should have been ok, except that the fries … Read more
Unfortunately, the world has discovered that soy lecithin is an emulsifier that is cheaper than Cocoa Butter. So, now pretty much every piece of formed chocolate in the world (including the really expensive stuff you would think would stay with Cocoa Butter, just on principle) has soy lecithin in it. Fortunately, “Enjoy Life” has come … Read more
I’ve never bothered with a post for Chick-fil-A. They fry their food in peanut oil, and our kids are anaphylactic to peanuts, so it seemed kind of pointless. Tragically, it appears that they also hold the same opinion about peanut oil that many restaurants hold about soybean oil, namely that the presence of soybean oil doesn’t … Read more
This doesn’t fall under the “food” category, but a reader named Susan pointed out problems she’s had with her son with hand/body cream and soaps. Because of eczema issues when our son was 6 months old, we’ve been very conscientious about all-natural soaps and lotions, so I’ve never really had to think about what’s in “ordinary” products. Apparently, soy … Read more
Okay, it’s time to try to collect a list of the hidden soy in restaurants. There are so many items that you wouldn’t even expect to contain soy. We tend to rattle off this list when we visit a restaurant for the first time — especially when a restaurant says “We don’t use soy”. Which loosely translates … Read more
DiningWithoutSoy.com is 10 years old!
Our kids have outgrown their soy allergies, but we keep this site running to help everybody else who is going through the same grief.
We'd love to keep this site relevant for every other parent (and person) that has to go through this nightmare. If you collect any information about any organization that serves food, please share it with us and we'll make sure the world knows about it.
Because "most" people do not have a reaction to highly refined soybean oil, most restaurants and food labels will not even list food as containing soy if it "merely" contains soybean oil. [read more]
