Mijn zoon is allergisch voor soja-olie en soja-eiwitten. Kan hij dan wel
produkten gebruiken met daarin soja-lecithine?

OK, I know German, not Dutch, but they're similar, so I'll try my hand at
translating this:

"My son is allergic to soy-oil and soy-something else. Can he safely eat
products which contain soya lecithin?"

Hope somebody can reply to her. (Maybe somebody has a Dutch dictionary that
contains the word "eiwitten" in it. Think maybe it's "flour"?)

My German is too rusty to atempt a translation from Dutch, so I left it.
He should avoid lecithin (which means most chocolate, and baked goods).
Fortunately, in Europe the labels are very good, and always specify the
type of oil used in products (good in North America are bad in this
aspect).

Cheers, Steve

(English: Can my son [who is allergic to soy oil and some other soy product]
safely eat products made with soy-lecithin?)

(In bad German -- someone else will have to help with the Dutch:
"Nein, keine Soja-lecithine. Vermeiden meiste Schokolade (besser keine
Schokolade). Vermeiden meiste Produkten den Bakerei (besser keine Produkte den
Bakerei).")

"Eiwitten" is Dutch for "proteins" so the son is said to be allergic
to soya oil and to soya proteins. I think the answer to the question
is that he should not eat products containing soya lecithin.

The literal translation of the Dutch word "Eiwitten" is egg-whites
