I am intolerant to soy, beans, cauliflower, broccoli, rye, kamut, and oats. Is this an allergy, what kind?

Francine,
The only way to diagnose a food allergy is by visiting an allergist.
They will do testing and take into account your history of reaction to foods and what your reactions are.
There is a difference between a food intolerance (usually digestive symptoms) and a true food allergy.

Hope that helps!

An allergist/immunologist can provide expert medical advice and treatment in the evaluation and management of people with allergic diseases, asthma and immune problems (see above for types of patients seen). This includes the ability to perform and interpret allergy testing, expertise in treating complex allergic diseases and asthma, as well as the ability to prescribe allergen immunotherapy (allergy shots).
