Digestive Help and Food Allergies

I have an allergy to soy and I still eat soy oil and soy lecithin. I have been having chronic diarrhea, but there are days when I have no diarrhea. I have taken the soy oil and lecithin out of my diet some days and the following day still had diarrhea; I have also eaten soybean oil or lecithin some days and had no diarrhea. So does this mean my symptoms are probably not caused by food allergies. There are some days when I can be normal for a period of time and then suddenly I'll start getting loose/floating stools and then that will continue for a period. My blood tests showed negative for Celiac, but my blood tests did show I had 11% Eosinophilia.

Also sometimes I feel a little fatigued, and some days when I eat my stomach feels like it is always empty and still ready to be filled up.

Welcome to the gastroenterology community!  I would recommend you talk to your gastroenterologist about this and make sure that you are avoiding all soy (even hidden soy) in your diet.
