The past two nights I have been in severe pain after eating soy milk products. Last night I had soy dream vanilla ice cream and the gas/shooting I got only minutes after eating it were so intense I couldn't move. I wanted to test it again tonight (no not to put myself in pain on purpose!), so I made instant chocolate putting with soy milk. I am in terrible pain! The pudding had no dairy in it so I know it's not from that. I feel like I can't win. I stopped drinking fat-free cow's milk about 2 months ago because it had been bothering me on and off. I am not lactose intolerant so I am tempted to try drinking it again. I just feel so confused all the time about my stomach pains. If it's not one thing, it's another. I don't want to switch to rice milk because I really need the protein from either the soy or cow's milk if I decide to go back to drinking it. I do drink chamomile tea when I get these pains, which helps. Does anyone know anything about soy milk and stomach pains? Any information would be great
