Soy Milk

Rhino

I love the soy milk... I eat with my cereal. It taste good and good for me (has lots of protein). I like it a lot better then normal milk. The thing is, every time I drink some, even if it's only a small glass - for the next day my stomach is all messed up. I let out these bubbly nasty farts that are almost "liquidity" and stink up the room like a skunk sitting on a hot texas highway. Any suggestions on how to claim my stomach? Is there anything I can eat to counter act these moist gargling bubbles of gas from hell? Happen even if I only drink 8 ounces. Anyone else have this problem?

Holy crap, that sounds bad. I drink tons of soymilk (lactose intolerant) and it has no such effect on me. Try switching brands maybe? Could you be in any way allergic to soy?

HAve you tried rice milk or even almond milk? They both taste just as good.

All I can say is that your situation is not uncommon. Many I know got bad gas from soy milk. At least you're not alone.

my dad didn't like soy milk and it gave his stomach trouble after a while. he switched to a rice milk called Rice Dream and likes it, and it doesn't give him problems.

The easiest advice is "stop drinking soy milk." Some things just don't agree with some people.

Hmm, I get bad gas too, perhaps its due to soy milk.

Is this true?

It contains similar molecules called phytoestrogens, but not estrogen. No one knows the effect that these have but from what I gather they seem to actually be beneficial in balancing hormone levels.

This argument really bothers me when certain friends of mine try to convince me not to drink soy milk. Does no one have a concept of the huge amounts of estrogen in milk, not to mention the 30 other hormones they use to increase milk production from cows? Plus milk makes me pee hershey sauce out of my butt, its not even an option for me so stop trying to get me to drink it.

I'm vegan. I drink all kinds of "imitation" milks. I have a soymilk maker.

Try rice milk next. Rice Dream brand tastes the best, in my experience. After that, give almond milk a shot. Both of em should be easier on you.

Thanks guys.

I know a place that can hook me up with Rice milk... I've give that a try. Not so sure if they sale almonds milk though... I'll look for it though.
