Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Soy Milk vs Rice Milk

I started out with Rice Dream vanilla (the kind in the box) and thought I liked it a lot, but now that I have been using Silk soy milk for so long, I recently tried Rice Dream again on my cereal and thought it was really gross. However, I think the Rice Dream is easier on the stomach than soy.

My favorite is Silk Very Vanilla. I also love Silk's chocolate milk, but don't buy it often 'cause it's kind of expensive.

Be careful about fat content. I bought a soy milk one time and it had like 50% calories from fat. Yikes.

I buy cheap generic plain soy milk in cartons to use for cooking stuff where a vanilla flavor would just be weird, like soups and breads and entrees. The problem is that it goes bad pretty fast, so I try to plan ahead to make stuff whre I can use up all of the milk.

I keep meaning to freeze plain soy milk in 1/2 C containers and see how it would hold up ... but haven't gotten around to it yet. Silk's website mentions freezing and says it isn't really a good idea, but that if you do it, don't freeze it in the original container and let it thaw in the refrigerator fully before using.
