Sand, thank you for the reply and for those links  . The percentage of casein contained in soy substitutes and regular dairy makes sense; I never thought about it in that way.
I also agree that the EFI diet is a good place to start, I never said otherwise. But I also believe that many of us also may have problems with things that the majority of IBS-ers can tolerate (such as oatmeal for you). That's why I'm trying to identify my own potential triggers, in addition to generally sticking to the EFI diet. One of my biggest problems is bloating and the pain associated with it. The EFI diet was written by a person who didn't suffer bloating. That's great, but it also makes me believe that I need to take other things out of my diet, foods that are generally considered safe for a non-bloating IBS-er but not me. That doesn't mean that I'm going to say that the diet did nothing for me. I'm glad to have found this website years ago, and I have purchase some of Heather's products and read all her books (multiple times). I learned many helpful tips and principles here, I just feel like I need to keep searching because I never got completely better.
I didn't want to make this thread sound like I can't wait to go on a dairy-eating craze . My main point was that since dairy is a trigger, if proteins usually found in dairy that are added to dairy-substitutes would also cause problems. I had managed to go months without dairy and I only tested it recently to see the results (which were bad but there were a lot of other factors that could have affected this "test"). I am back to dairy free now. I will give it another shot in the future, however, once I'm more stable.
