Guest guest Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 I have used almond milk for a lot of things,but it doesn't seem to mix with powder the way soy milk does.I have terrible issues with processed food with soy,but I have been mixing my meal replacement with Silk the past couple of no problems.I don't have need a feeding tube,I just have severe GI inflammation and food opiate issues.                                         \            ________________________________ From: <seanandkaty@...> Sent: Thu, January 7, 2010 3:16:38 PM Subject: Re: Liquid diets,and Is this what they mean by " not having bowel disease " ?  I personally would never use a chemical medical food concoction, especially not a soy based one.

I don't use milk, soy, corn, eggs or oranges for her, but otherwise use the food pyramid to make her plan using hemp, almond, potato or rice milk instead of milk.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 Metagenics makes a medical food called Ultra Clear Sustain. It is specifically designed to heal the gut mucosa. It is a rice based protein powder and actually tastes pretty good. I healed up IBS years ago drinking this three times a day and had excellent energy and attended school during that time. One of the healing ingredients is Jerusalem Artichoke powder. They also carry Inflamex or something like that with turmeric which reduces inflamation. I don't have experience with that one but could possibly help with gut inflamation?

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 I have a lot better time tolerating unprocessed soy than I do coconut.  ________________________________ From: S <iferstevens@...> Sent: Fri, January 8, 2010 7:50:11 AM Subject: Re: Liquid diets,and Is this what they mean by " not having bowel disease " ?  , I just discovered that " Soy Delicious " makes Coconut Milk that is the closest thing to tasting like cows milk that I have come across. The brand name is changed to " So Delicious. " I bought it at a Bloom grocery store in their health food section. If this is working for you, I think you should continue, but be careful about developing an allergy to the soy milk. Maybe your inflammation will settle over time and you can slowly reintroduce solid food. It can only be agood sign that your autistic symptoms have subsided. How would you do with homemade clear organic chicken broth or perhaps the SCD raw goats milk yogurt?
