Re: soy milk

's #1 fave is Edensoy, she drinks plain. Kate will drink any plain

soymilk on earth, so she gets Dominick's generic... it's half the cost of

Edensoy

and has more calcium! MIL picks us up a case of Whole Foods' 365 brand plain

soymilk sometimes, to me that tastes the best of all of them, and that's saying

something because I never could get used to the taste of soy milk!!

I am so accustomed to vanilla soy lattes from Starbucks from my

no-dairy-while-nursing-Kate days that I can't stand it with regular milk now, it

always

tastes like sour milk!

We started off with Silk soymilk, the one that's refrigerated. But I didn't

like that it was so perishable, and we had a few occasions where the carton

would swell up before the expiration date and that scared me so I threw it out.

Never had a problem with the shelf-stable brands.

(mom to , age 5-1/2, dairy intolerant-related GERD -- currently

has polysaccharide antibody def, previously had transient IgG, IgA, t-cell &

other defs... and also to Kate, born 9/19/02, dairy intolerant)

No, she's doing well with milk over cereal as long as she doesn't drink

a glass of milk with it. We were told that lactase is produced in one

of the outer layers of intestinal lining. That's why when anyone has

diarrhea, they are told to avoid dairy for a few days. Once the lining

was re-established, we think she's producing some lactase -- just not

adequate for overloads. I doubt she would even try the soy products

because they were so awful when she was trying them. She did adjust to

RiceDream and liked that on cereal and for hot-cocoa and strawberry

Quick. (No, it wasn't nutritional, but it got calories down her!). We

also found that the RiceDream cooked better than soy - although

adjustments had to be made to recipes.

Too bad. I understand why she wouldn't be interested in them if she tried back

when they tasted so dreadful. They are SO much better now then they were 5-6

years ago. My kids' favorite is the " Very Vanilla " flavored one. They like it

almost as much as the sugar and fat overloaded flavored milk drinks.

Maybe she'll give it another try one of these days.
