I believe there is no problem at all with the fermented products:

"Only Fermented Soy Products Are Safe
To summarize, traditional fermented soy products such as miso, natto and tempeh-which are usually made with organically grown soybeans-have a long history of use that is generally beneficial when combined with other elements of the Oriental diet including rice, sea foods, fish broth, organ meats and fermented vegetables. The value of precipitated soybean products is problematical, especially when they form the major source of protein in the diet. Modern soy products including soy milks and ersatz meat and dairy products made from soy protein isolate and textured vegetable protein are new to the diet and pose a number of serious problems. "

I found lots of stuff on the newer products, and questions about them- but it's hard to tell what's legitimate.

I think soy milk would be most problematic for my family- tofu we just use as a condiment in our soups and stir frys. For a meat subsitute I love seitan-

Christine recommended it to me (Let's Talk About Our Feelings), and we just love it. If you have wheat allergies I guess it would be a problem
