Hi, everyone I am new here have been reading the boards for the last couple of weeks and getting myself acquainted with the forum and the members on the forum. I am IBS-C, have been for the last 40 of my 49 years, I am also lactose intolerant, I have been a lacto-ovo vegetarian for the last 28 years due to the fact that my body does not metabolize proteins or fats and this has continued to get worse as I age so with the exception of eggs I am almost vegan. .

Well anyways I do not like the taste of most soy products, have eaten the yogurts, and tried the soymilk and do not care much for them. I instead use Rice Dream and Oat Milk, which I love the taste of and would recommend to anyone that does not care for soy products. However, I have found the most sinfully delicious soymilk ice cream called "Purely Decadent Soy Delicious", by Turtle Mountain. The Cookie Avalanche was fantastic but the Mocha Almond Fudge is to die for, it's dairy and lactose free, less then half the fat of ice cream, 65% of the calories of regular ice cream, cholesterol free, certified vegan, and made with organic ingredients. It makes a great occasional treat for me if I can keep my husband out of it.

Yogurt is nasty for IBS. Dairy wrecks havoc on IBS. Lactose is not the only issue--dairy proteins are hard on the system.
They can make you either D or C. They can cause horrible cramping and bloating.

There are many calcium rich alternatives. Remember, we are a culture with a bizarre cow-food habit.

Yogurt is a trendy food. For optimum probiotic benefit just buy probiotics. They have way more potency and won't ruin your day or week.

Kate, IBS-D.

Wind has some good points - usually most soy products really don't affect the taste of foods too badly either, especially depending on the type of food. Like some prefer vanilla soy milk when making a smoothie...or chocolate when they want chocolate milk.

I was told by my doc that I could try taking Lactaid if I thought I might digest regular dairy. Ask your doc about it. But dairy appears to be one of my worst IBS cuplprits. It's prob just best to incorporate dairy substitutes as much as possible, if you can afford to. Good luck. It's tough for me to avoid dairy, I love dairy! :'(
