Sand good post! I think we need to be careful about going into a panic over one article. The internet is a great tool for research and finding info but you have to remember that anyone can write a paper and post it on the internet.
We all have IBS in common but controlling the symptoms of IBS is not an exact science. We are all different and how we react to foods is different. Follow the EFI diet and you will start to feel better but keep in mind that sometimes it is a trial and error experience to find the safe foods that work best for you. Some people can tolerate soy milk and others can't. Do what works for you to best control your IBS. If you listen to everything that is posted about good and bad foods you will go crazy. For example: At one time we heard not to eat butter but use margarine instead. Now it is the opposite.
For me personally soy milk is not a problem and I will not stop drinking it because of this article. If soy is a problem for you by all means try one of the other milks available. I don't know about you, but when I find an IBS friendly food that I can eat and I don't have an attack then I am going to stick with that food. The EFI diet is a great guideline for finding the best foods to eat to ease IBS symptoms. Remember that it is a guideline and you may not be able to tolerate everything on the list or you may not like the taste of something that is considered a safe food.
I think in the future if you post a question or concern about soy or any other food item on the diet board you will get more of a response.

I did not post the initial post. I was responding with my opinion to the post, and since it was posted to this board, that is where I responded.
I take everything I read on the internet with a grain a salt. If I find it interesting and informative, I follow-up with more research to check the facts.
And the EFI does not work for everyone with IBS.

Why so testy? I was not directing my message towards you! I was speaking in general terms and just suggesting that the person who wrote the original question about soy should put it on the diet board to get more responses. The fitness board is usually dedicated to fitness. I don't usually check the fitness board and I know many others probably don't either. The position of my message was under Sands and had nothing to do with what you posted.
I really don't understand the anger that is coming across in your response to my message.

Just wondered if anyone else tried making the almond milk recipe from the above link? I did, it wasn't bad, better that when i tried making rice milk, but it was still a bit watery and tasteless! I didn't try it with the dates, maybe that would improve it. You also end up with a great quantity of solids which i wasn't sure what to do with! I put them into a rice pudding but I'm afraid it was probably too much IF for me and caused me problems. I guess I'll just throw them away next time i make it.
