Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Almond/Soy Milk, PB, Nuts, Bananas, and Mayo Questions!!!

Well I thought it would be more convenient to address all of these in one thread.
I think I have been deprieving myself of having these on a regular basis.

1) Soy Milk: Seems here most of you not only can have but you do drink a good amount.
Is it unusual than to have somebody like me who gets really bloated and gassy from it? Should I give it another try or is there an explanation?

2) Almond Milk: This is the only milk I have tried (Soy being the other) which has worked for me.
However, I only use it in cooking recipes (like pancakes). I never will sit down and drink Almond Milk, because it just seems even in cooking when I reach a certain threshold I get not so much gassy but bloated.
-Again...is this normal, is there an explanation, or should I give it another try?
-The reason I ask is that most recipes I see for protein shakes (which I will be taking) call for 1 cup of milk...and I am wondering if 1 cup of almond milk will be pushing it.

3) Peanut Butter: Again seems MOST of you can have this. How much is a non-lethal dose? When I have taken it before...PB has caused me to feel C and B.
-Would 1 TB mixed in a protein shake be diluted enough?

4) Nuts: I can't believe most of you tolerate this as well...how do you do it!

5) Bananas: Same thing...they make me feel bloated and irritated.

6) Mayo: I see a lot of you use low-fat mayo or veganese.
When I have had mayo...I get really bloated and it takes awhile to go down.

------------------------------------------------------------
My basic questions on these:

1) Am I the only one who finds this so off limits?
-Is there something unusual or a certain way I can take it?
-I would LOVE to have milk+pb and even nuts.
I also would like to be able to use veganese.

2) What makes this harder to get is that when I have Hummus...I have little if any problems...same with Guacomole.
-So why is it I can handle those two fatty foods BUT PB/Nuts/Low Fat Mayo or Vegenese give me all kinds of issues?
-Is there an explanation and what should I do?

3) Experiment again?
-If so how?
-What doeses/ways should I try that least intrusive?

Thanks!
