Here is a list of other things to avoid

From what I have heard and researched, over 60% of processed foods include soy! Many people that are allergic to soy can be allergic to other legumes, such as peanuts. I don't know for sure if this can be vise-versa, but I would watch out if I were you. Soy beans are not legumes, but you should still check with your doctor.
Not necessarily. Some people may be allergic to tree nuts, but not other kinds of nuts such as peanuts, and vice verse. Peanuts aren't really nuts they are legumes, grown underground. totally different allergy.
Yes. My son is allergic to green beans. It causes swelling around his eyes, he scracthes his tongue and even gets a rash on his chest and back if he eats enough of them. However, he can eat peas (such as blackeye peas). He can also eat peanut butter. I have a nephew who is allergic to all legumes (that means, no peas, no beans and absolutely no peanut butter). You should have yourself or your kid checked to be sure of the extent of the allergy.
You may be or not. It depends on the nature and severity of your allergy or intolerance. For example, I'm allergic to all shellfish. I'm allergic to some fish but not to other fish. However, I am not allergic to sea salt. On the other hand, I have food intolerance to potatoes, tomatoes, and everything else in that particular food/botanical family. Neither can I eat any grains/cereals because they share a botanical relationship. Neither can I eat any legumes for the same reason. In other words, it varies from person to person, just as the symptoms and severity of allergy or intolerance vary from person to person.
Well, they both are allergies. But a coconut is a type of nut. If your allergic to ALL nuts then yes peanut and coconut are the same If your allergic to certain type of nuts then they are sorta the same. If your allergic to coconuts, hen they are not the same.
Allergies to peanuts (legumes), shellfish, and strawberries are quite common, and often life threatening.
Guar Gum is derived from a plant that is a "cousin" of Soy. They are both legumes. As a result, it can trigger the same kind of allergic reaction that is caused by any consumption/contact of/with Soy or soy-based products. Depending on your level of allergy, you may or may not react to guar gum, but I think most allergists, and most soy allergy sufferers (myself included), would advise you not to take the chance as increased exposure to an allergen increases your chance to experience a reaction. You may also want to cut out other leguminous plant substances for the same reason.
store dry legumes in an air tight container and freeze cooked legumes
Legumes are not consumers, they are producers. Legumes are PLANTS. Thus they don't eat anything.
Guar gum is extracted from the bean of the Indian guar plant, a different plant. While it is true that guar gum is not derived from the seeds or any part of the soybean or soy plant, it should be noted that they are both members of the same plant family: legumes. As legumes, they can in fact cause an allergic reaction in anyone already allergic to another legume. This includes soy and peanuts, as well as beans and peas. Search for <Leguminous Plants> to find a full list of these soy "cousins".
Yes. Beans are legumes.
