Well what about a little yogurt being helpful. My dad was told he has IBS and he eats yogurt every day no prob, and says its helping. And alot of other people with digestive problems are told to have yogurt, what makes them different?? I know you can have probiotics alone but I am really struggling to find things to eat! I cant eat alot of things recommended on the boards. I'm just wondering why soy is recommended instead of dairy. Soy is known to cause all sorts of hormonal imbalances, infertility, and digestive problems so isn't that something that we really should be avoiding even more so then the dairy.
