Soy is one of the top eight food allergens. Beyond allergy, soy contains isoflavones — plant compounds that mimic estrogen and may affect hormonal balance, particularly thyroid function. Soy is also high in FODMAPs in some forms, making it a potential gut trigger. Fermented soy products (tempeh, miso) are generally better tolerated than unfermented soy.
