Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | IBS, Probiotics, and Soy

Hey Gang, I haven't posted in a while but have had some much improved health as of late! I went to have my metabolic typing done. It seemed kind of hokey but thought it was worth a try with all the problems I was having. It seemed that EVERYTHING I ate was giving me problems and I felt like I couldn't leave the house anymore. It was getting so depressing that I had to do something. Anyway, I answered all the crazy questions and got my results. The nutritionist I spoke to recommended specific vitamins, a probiotic and some other supplements. I was skeptical at best! One of the things that came back in my screening was to avoid soy. I've never been able to take vitamins without throwing up. But I ordered some and began taking one a day. After a couple months, I was feeling MUCH better. I got rid of the soy and my stomach evened out. As a test I ate some soy ice cream and sure enough, next day I was miserable. The probiotic got rid of my chronic yeast infections and also seemed to help my digestive tract. I can eat dairy again in limited quantities. I've switched to organic meats and veggies (for me and my girls). I still have IBS and somedays it flares up but usually once a month when my hormones go nuts! I think nursing for 5 years and having a crash c-section and losing so much blood just really wiped my body out and it needed to be re-built so to speak!

Hope everyone is having a beautiful day!!!
