Yeah, that's likely the problem. Soy is okay in small amounts. Maybe what you've been drinking every couple of days, but not every day for sure. The chinese only use tofu as a condiment, unlike what most people seem to think. Never, ever do they use it as a staple protein source. Well, today they might, but traditionally they didn't and you shouldn't. Read the maker's diet about that one, it's in there. There are plenty of protein sources out there; beef, lamb, chicken, turkey, some types of wild game, most types of fish, eggs and so forth. I never even thought soy tasted good anyway, they have to add a lot of crap to make it palatable. Could you give me an ingredient list from that mix you say you put in the soy milk? Also, I had a few people ask for a list of okay foods, but I don't see why. That list I made is alphabetical, if you think you want to try a food check the list, if it's not on there it's okay.

Interesting.

Yes, absolutely - i'll post the ingredient list soon. The mix was actually a recommendation off another board. But it just goes to show, what one can tolarate, another can not!

In regards to the forbidden food list: think of it as less of a practical request - and more of a *psychological* request (psych major here).

Looking at a list and having to feel bummed about every gosh-darned "forbidden" food you can't eat really sucks.

But looking at a list of things we can eat can be more inspiring. Don't you think? Anyone else feel this way? (it can also be more useful to take to the grocery store ...)

I defintely see what you're saying and never even thought about that. We can try to work on one, but it will be pretty damn large. Definitely less compact than the single page of the forbiddens, but if it's a good idea maybe we should do it.

Yes, I agree, a list with all the foods you recommend eating would be great! Stan, how do you feel about using whey protein...It seems to be more digestible and it can be used in smoothies also.

Thanks,

I know soy is easier for human digestion, but not less useful and even better for digestion, becouse it assimilates faster and do not contains cholesterol at all. And it is preferable spesially for people who has high blood presure.

I'm not sure where you got that, there are numerous studies and articles out there concerning the difficulty the body has digesting soy because of it's incredibly high phytic acid content. Isn't whey from wheat? You need to avoid that. I actually tried whey protein once and it totally sucked, not to mention I crashed within 10 minutes of drinking it down.
