I've searched for this topic and can't really find much - just seeing if anybody has any input. My 7 year old DS, who has been to DisneyWorld twice has a peanut/nut allergy - which we have dealt with for a few years now and at Disney, however, he has developed a Soy allergy - the soy protein causes the analphylatic shock - just like the peanuts. We learned this the hard way with some chicken fingers at school. We were having him go to a pediatric gastro. at the same time due to duodenitis, which we now believe was caused by the influx of soy in tons of products.
Too make a long story short - we know what to look for, but for example, McDonalds hamburger buns are made with soy flour, a common preservative, we have to switch buns with Pepperidge farms buns for him to not get a stomach ache.
Does anyone have experience with the soy issue - I'm thinking about just contacting Disney before we go this year to check on bun ingredients, etc...
