I've been drinking soy milk for years and have never noticed it worsening IBS...except...and this is all I can think of:
Dairy products consistently give me D--have for about 10 years--I haven't *unthinkingly* had a glass of milk in that time (though I have caved in and had a glass or two ). Since soy products *don't* give me D, I revert back to my usual state: chronic C. Also, soy milk/cheese/etc. are protein foods, and I know that if I have to much protein it makes my C worse. So if I have soy mac'n'cheese, it might not contain any milk and it might still cause a problem. Does that make sense? Just my two cents about the whole soy/C issue.
