Any suggestions? I'm allergic to soy!

Anonymous

I am veggie, almost vegan, would probably be vegan if I could be sure I could do Ok. I do not tolerate milk products so have given up these with no problem. I actually don't feel well when I eat eggs, so if I do eat eggs it is few and far between, have never really cared much for the taste either. But two main sources of protein in a vegan/ veggie diet are soy and mushrooms. I am allergic to both, go fig. I love both, they just don't do me any favors. Any suggestions on other protien alternatives?

Theoretically it's possible to be vegan without soy and mushrooms. I'm almost vegan and I eat soy and mooshrooms very rarelly. Can you eat kidney-beans, peas, chick-peas? Do you have allergies to soy products like milk, tofu or to soy beans in general? What about your physical activities? Do you exercise?
