Thank you for your reply Heather. I checked the butter "Earth Balance" and low and behold...total fat for 1 tbsp is 11grams, sat fat is 3.5g, poly fat it3.5g, and mono gat is 3.5g. It contains no gluten. The ingredients are expeller pressed natural oil (soybean, palm fruit, canola seed, and olive) water, salt, natural flavor from corn (no MSG, no alcohol, no gluten) soy protein, soy lecithin, lactic acid from sugar beets, and beta carotene.
I have tried soy milk in the past and felt it caused me to have lower GI distress and bloating. I probably assumed it was the milk because at the time it was the only new thing I was eating.
I have no idea if I have an issue with soy. I was just feeling better and then I tried this new butter. I love butter on my toast in the morning or on a potatoe. I will try and find some made with rice milk or if you have suggestions I'd love it. I used to eat "I can't believe its not butter" a lot before. Now I'm just really trying to watch everything now that I'm following your book. In the past year I think I've had my worst symptoms....(right side pain with all the others minus diarrhea)in the past I had mostly transient constipation with other mild IBS sx and I would just up the fiber. I'm 39 years old. I do remember in the past maybe having some side pains and I attributed each of these episodes to having eaten green beans so now I never eat them. Who knows what foods I really am bothered by. You did mention an IBS intolerance and quantity of food. This makes sense and I will have to watch this. I have in the past had the tendency to wait too long between meals and then eat a good dinner or lunch. Recently I've been really careful to eat just a little bit of food and slowly.
Thanks for your help. I normally work as a psychologist (although I recently got married for the first time and I'm trying to conceive and work on our new house so I'm not working at the moment) and I feel like I'm back in school.......getting a Master's Degree on how to EAT! ha
