I also have to avoid soy, sends my stomach on a roller-coaster ride. Whenever I see a dish or baked good labeled "vegan" I have to ask if it has soy after getting a "soy surprise" in one of the best tasting pumpkin pies I ever had.

Although I have eaten very little dairy, no meat, no fried foods, I still have borderline high "bad" cholesterol so go figure.
