Laurie,

I'm not going to touch the olive oil question, but here's a bit about
soy sauce. Different soy sauces differ just like different wines or
beers or whatever. So just try different ones until you find one you
like. I usually use one from the Philippines. (Maybe try an Asian
market instead of the supermarket.) And look at the ingredients and
see what may be causing it to trigger your asthma. Some have wheat,
some don't. Some have this, some have that. You may be allergic to the
soy, or it may be something else. If it's something else, then keep
trying until you find one that doesn't cause you problems.
Hope this helps,

Ken
