There's a lot of talk of soy here on this thread. Is this a US thing? What soy are you eating? It's not that big in the UK. You can get soy milk and it's mixed in with some meat products and found in veggie burgers - but it's not that mainstream.

I buy frozen 'fresh' soybeans, which are quite hard to find. They're nice.

Check the ingredients on anything that you think is mostly wheat. It will have soy in it. All bread from the super market for example.

Not here in Australia. Our wheat = American corn. Subsidised and used in everything. Its terrible for coeliacs.

Though as my fiance found out while living in the US, over there things can be sold as gluten free which have oats in them. Bad news for 1 in 4 coeliacs.
