Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

This is really good advice. If you're not used to soy, you need to treat it like other bean products and introduce it gradually. If you're truly allergic, you'd likely already know that because you've probably eaten soy before. It is in a LOT of foods where you'd never even suspect, and a true food allergy will tend to show up even with small quantities ingested.

If you found fresh soy milk (usually only available in the states in Asian markets), and it's in regular plastic containers that are refrigerated, it's probably going to taste more "beany" than the soy milk in aseptic boxes. So you might want to just use it to cook with and not jump right into drinking a glass. As much as I love soy milk, the fresh kind is a bit too strongly flavored for me to want to drink plain, though it's great for cooking with.

Glad you found something, though! Now you can make puddings and custards and chowders, oh my!
