Pages: 1 | 2 | (show all) Soy Milk vs. Nonfat Milk       #280641 - 09/01/06 12:55 PM Edit Reply Quote MamaCat Reged: 04/09/06 Posts: 52 Loc: NJ I was wondering...I've enjoyed a Starbucks Iced Chai Latte made with soy milk (they use Silk) & I checked the nutritional value of the drink--with soy milk, it has 4g of fat. With nonfat milk, the drink has 0g. So I was wondering which choice is better--the nonfat milk or the soy? I have tried to stay away from dairy as much as possible--I don't want to trigger another flare. But is it better to have NO fat when you can? Just wondering!

If you drink the chai latte with nonfat milk, you might get an IBS attack/flare.

I agree, just use light soy milk.

I normally use Rice Milk (thanks to advice from this board) but the little soy milk in the Starbucks drink doesn't bother me right now. Too bad they don't offer the "Light" Silk as an option! That would be perfect! Jennifer -------------------- ...................... IBS-D!

I think Chai tea contains black tea, which can be a trigger.

The chai @ Starbucks has caffeine in it; they do not have a decaf option. I wish they did! -------------------- ...................... IBS-D!

Works great for gas and bloating, and help with digestion after eating a little too much! I noticed yesterday they have a "Laxative" tea... Anyone tried it?

I remember a doctor recommending a Sennakot supplement for me years ago (it was awful). Why is senna bad for IBS?

It may give you temporary relief but in the long run it will cause you more problems with your IBS. Laxatives are harsh stimulants and your bowel becomes dependent on them.

Especially if I drink it right after a meal. Unfortunately, it's a bit more expensive than Heather's teas...
