Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I use Silk soymilk and have found that regular vanilla is great for baking, and the very vanilla is great for smoothies and making hot cocoa, but I always keep a carton of unsweetened soy milk for cooking dinners. (There's plain and then there's unsweetened, not sure what the difference is to tell the truth but i don't like the taste of the plain)

I've never made a cream sauce but i imagine it would be close to the white sauce i use. Very easy, just add a couple tbsp of flour or cornstarch to about 3 cups of soy milk and bring to a boil while stirring. It will thicken when it reaches the boiling point. You can add breakfast sausage for Sausage Gravy over Biscuits or add leftover chopped chicken or turkey and serve it over toast for a quick meal. I use it the most in a homemade tuna casserole recipe i subbed together out of a few others. The unsweetened milk is essential for savory dinners though or they come out tasting way too sweet.

Hope this helps a little...i didn't cook that much until my IBS got really bad either and i remember how hard it is to get started. What really helped me was printing out the recipes i liked from the message boards and starting my own cookbook with a 3 ring binder and some plastic sheet inserts.
