Dear fellow IBS suferrers,
I'm new posting here. I have been reading Heather's site (and books) and taking acacia, as she recommended, and basically following her diet. I have had major improvement, although, I am not sure it can be attributed to Heather's diet or to the improvement of weather (I live on the east coast and summers are horrible over here). We will see this summer.
So, the only problem I have is... SOY.
Apparently, going into previous threads, you guys have discussed both soy and milk extensively. People (I think one of the posters was Candey) have mentioned how detrimental soy is to humans and have posted links to studies about this... Many scientists have posted warnings about the dangers and explained extensively why and how exactly soy damages our health (and what it causes).
So, my question is, why do you guys drink soy milk if there are alternatives (to milk and to soy milk) such as rice and almond milk (and hazelnut milk too, that's pretty tasty). Do you truly trust the FDA (if you do, I recommend the documentary Sweet Misery: A poisoned world) and the soy industry who claims soy is the solution to all illnesses? I think those sources can't be trusted because of their interest in the matter, but even if they are right, the negative reviews should get us thinking.
I don't mean to offend anyone, I just feel the responsibility to tell the people I have learned from (I've been reading the board for the last year, but never was brave enough to post... it might sound bad but I feel uncomfortable talking about my IBS) and I owe so much.
Do you even know about soy? Just google "soy dangers" and read on (I can post some links too if someone is interested).
Thanks
Gabrielle
P.S. I usually use almond milk in case someone wonders. I also like the hazelnut milk, but can't always get it.
