    Ok, i switched to drinking soy milk around august and began drinking it every day and totally took dairy milk out of my diet, i just cant stand milk. anyway, recently when i have had my regular drink of soy in the morning, afterwards my stomach started to cramp up a while later to the point where i was very uncomfortable. I tried this again the next day to make sure it wasnt something else i had and the same thing happened. Why has soy milk suddenly started to make me sick? i have been fine when i have had it before. and if i need to stop drinking my soy, i wont touch milk no matter what, so what is an alternative for me to get some kind of nutrients? all i drink now is water and tea. im just a bit confused, is there such thing as drinking too much soy?

    rice milk & almond milk
    do a weeklong elim: no soy at all, any kind, add a single glass.
    still cramping? go for another substitute.

    What brand are you drinking? Some people have a sensitivity to Carrageenan, and many major soy brands, including Silk, use it.
