Well, that's not a terrible mistake, as soy oil was originally legal and only became illegal after time due to some feedback that soy protein can remain in the oil. See: http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/BTVC-SCD/message/7362 So, there may not be much of a setback. Since in this case, you don't know whether the oil contains proteins or not, and your husband is a beginner, just toss it and remake the mayonnaise. I recommend either sunflower or safflower oil for the best taste. Regards, Mara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this mean we should go back to the introduction diet? What do I do? Help! Maureen, Elaine originally said that soy oil was not an issue. She was, however, adamant about other soy products not being used. (She did state, in answer to a query of mine, that soy-based lecithin was okay, although she though it better to use egg yolks if you wanted to add lecithin to your diet. She also said that soy-derived Vitamin E was all right.) I know that people on the Pecan Bread list choose not to use soy oil because some of the ASD kids are hyper sensitive to anything soy. Some other people are concerned about soy oil because so much soy is gene-modified. I myself don't use soy oil because I have issues with soy. (I tend to stop breathing.) Besides, there are so many other oils that I like much, much better! For mayo, I like safflower or sunflower, although I sometimes use half sunflower and half coconut oil when I want a very thick mayo. However, I can say that I've used lecithin, and Vitamin E derived from soy without issue, and I inadvertently had some mayo made with soy oil during one of my trips. I didn't stop breathing (thank goodness!) and to my surprise, didn't have any problems with the mayo. Other folks may have had issues, and if so, I hope they'll speak up. I would say to hold off on introducing new foods for a day or two and see how your husband fares. Stay with current easily tolerated foods. Then, if he's okay, proceed on. Don't beat yourself up -- but you can see why we typically recommend removing all illegals from the pantry and freezer! There's just so darned much to remember and it's so easy to slip up.
