Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Protein suggestions...

As I have understood it the thing that causes problems with soy is in general the type of sugar it contains. (This is what can cause bloating and gas in some people when they eat soy or other beans.) However the protein powder is pure isolated soy protein so unless you have a specific intolerance to soy protein it should be fine. I tried it with my smoothie both Sunday and Monday and have had no problems thus far. Another good thing with soy protein powder is that it doesn't really have any taste in itself so therefore most soy protein powders are pure, with no added sweeteners or flavors. Do check that if you want to try one though.

If you just want to use it for snacks et.c. then it lasts quite long since you only need a few grams for snack typically. The serving size given on the container is very large and suitable for people who do a lot of weight training for example or if you really need to use it as one of your main protein sources.

The powder can be used in smoothies and other types of drinks of course but it can also be used in cooking and baking to increase the protein intake.

Hope you can tolerate it.
