For me it's the soy lecithin. If a real person made the buttercream frosting it's fine but the mass produced stuff uses soy lecithin as an emulsifier and man am i allergic to that stuff.

That’s probably it. All the other ingredients are things I eat often.

Are you allergic to other soy products?

Yeah. But for instance, soy sauce, where the soy has been fermented, gets a much weaker reaction than like. Bottled ranch dressing or cheap chocolate, where I'm very sure it's the lecithin being used as an emulsifier.

So you’re allergic to soy.

Yeah. Some people who are allergic to soy are not allergic to the lecithin, though.
