Default Food allergies

I've been vegan for about 5 years, i went off dairy products because i was getting really bad indigestion and that seemed to take care of it. I've noticed recently that when i drink soy milk i've been getting stomach cramps. Is it possible to develop an intolerance to foods like soy over a period of time?

I think i'm going to go see an allergist just to be sure, i would go to my regular doctor since i have a persistent cough and am generally feeling run down but honestly she just gives me antibiotics and sends me away.

I think thats possible since it has kinda hppened to me already. I haven't drank any milk for a period of about 3 years and i think im mildly lactose intolerant. i get stomach cramps after i drink milk/ eat cheese...

Go see an allergist. You definitely shouldn't be being prescribed antibiotics when there's no evidence of a bacterial infection and it sounds like it could be allergic from your description.
