对鹰嘴豆和大豆过敏的症状

Chickpeas and soybeans share similar proteins that can cause an allergic reaction. The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America notes that soybeans contain at least 15 different proteins that can trigger an allergic reaction. If you’re allergic to soy beans, you have a greater chance of being allergic to other legumes, such as chickpeas. Symptoms of a chickpea or soy allergy are similar, but may develop in various degrees of severity in each person. Talk with your doctor if you suspect that you’re allergic to chickpeas and soy beans.

Chickpea/Soy Allergy

If you’re allergic to chickpeas and soy beans, your immune system doesn’t recognize the proteins in these legumes as safe. Instead the immune system overreacts to the proteins, identifying as a dangerous substance, although they’re safe. The body creates a defense system against the chickpea and soy proteins by producing antibodies, which are disease-fighting agents. The release of these antibodies causes mast cells to produce histamine, a chemical that protects the body from infection but triggers inflammation in soft tissue.
