Well, I got my tests back today, and everything seems normal.
My TSH came out at 0.59, which is "in range" according to the doctor. They didn't order a panel, so that's the only number I got.
My bilirubin was 1.1.
My AST is 20.
My alkaline phosphatase is 103.
So I guess my liver/gall bladder are functioning normally.
Everything else came back in range as well.
I guess the only thing it can be at this point is a soy allergy.

I'm no expert but a TSH of 0.59 is not borderline hypo. If anything, it would be borderling hyper. Borderline hypo would be somewhere over 3.0. The FT3/4 as well as lab ranges are a major factor in what is considered normal but I don't see any instance where 0.59 would be near hypo.

Yes, certainly a good idea for the complete bloodwork. My daughter is IgG defficient in the subclass for viral illness (not bacterial .. there are 4 subclasses within IgG itself) so I am a bit familiar with all that you speak of.
She also used to get many delayed responses to foods (12 of 16 tested for as a toddler) that ranged from GI reflux, to severe sinus inflammation, to JOINT PAIN that was followed by a rheumatologist, to asthma and the list goes on .. some of the tests will r/o GI issues. Not sure if I mentioned her reaction to a bee sting which was not only immediate (hives, wheals, swelling of glands in mouth) but she had a delayed reaction, too in the way of a joint becoming inflammed distant from the bee sting and this happened 3 days later!
If you select an Allergist who is ALSO an Immunologist you will be in great hands! One of the tests will test for mucous membranes and inflammation or something like that (been 14 yrs here .. my daughter outgrew alot of this!!).
Delayed Hypersensitivies and T-Cell Mediated Responses are some key words to do searches with if I recall correctly.
On the extreme other hand, my other daughter is very positive thru blood to Latex, Hazelnuts Class IV, and some other nuts as well as anaphylactic to plums of all things! THose responses are immediately seen within 30 seconds of ingesting the allergin but delayed reactions as you mention take days oftentimes and very hard to trace bcz of that .. also they linger bcz oftentimes they are inflammatory in nature.
I can only answer on the allergy end of your ?'s .. the thyroid stuff is A L L very new to me and I only had nodules with no symptoms.

I started feeling better a few days after stopping soy intake.
Like I stated in the other thread, I have had the following symptoms:
Delayed allergic responses to soy are less dramatic, but are even more common. These are caused by antibodies known as immunoglobulins A, G or M (IgA, IgG or IgM) and occur anywhere from two hours to days after the food is eaten. These have been linked to sleep disturbances, bedwetting, sinus and ear infections, crankiness, joint pain, chronic fatigue, gastrointestinal woes and other mysterious symptoms.
But I have had a minor episode since I've stopped the soy intake. And my body temperature still drops to about 97.3 - 97.5 at night.
It's also possible that since my TSH is 0.59 that the soy may be "pushing" me over into hypo since 0.59 is technically borderline hypo. Furthermore, I had my blood tests done a few days after stopping the soy.
Should I perhaps ask the doctor for a full panel test?

Hmmmmmmmmmmm -----> Find a good allergist and have skin testing done at the very least. Make sure it is covered w/your ins. bcz if not, only do what you suspect vs. the usual 16-32 they do as routine skin testing.
R U feeling any better since cutting out the Chinese Food and eliminating the soy? Or, have you not really started yet as you awaited the results?
