Common Questions and Answers about Soy milk health information
milk
I would advise you to stay away from the soy milk. Soy is a well-known allergen, and it's NOT health food. http://search.mercola.com/Results.aspx?q=soy&k=soy In fact, soy is downright dangerous. I don't think it's a good idea to give babies and small children soy milk, especially if they already have these allergies you're talking about. The other information about what amounts to vegan recipes is a great idea.
I did a little research on Coconut milk simply because I have to stay away from saturated fats such that cow milk has. Turns out Coconut milk is a wonder drug for those that live in an area where saturated fats are nearly non-existent but has far more saturated fat than cows milk. I love coconut candy, cakes, and such which is what started the research. Turns out that Almound milk is one of the best milks out there for health issues.
There are other alternatives other than regular dairy milk-there is the soy, rice, and almond milk. I would ask your doctor about using these instead. I also would not give her peanut butter yet this is a common allergy food.
hope this is helpful
(by the way lactose intolernace is not an allergy and a different test would need to be done to determine that.
soy milk, soy hot dogs, soy meats, soy energy bars, as well as many other food sources.
Most of these “Western” food sources contain soyprotein isolate, which is a highly processed, devitalized, and toxic food source that needs to be avoided.
In 1997, researchers reported that infants fed a soy formula ingested a whopping 28 to 47 milligrams (mg) of isoflavones — estrogen-like compounds found in soy.
I'm not a fan of soy milk either. Long list of potential imbalances and hormonal effects. I'm also not a big fan of drinking milk anyway (I prefer getting my dairy through yogurt, kefir, cheese, etc) and for drinking I prefer water (for cold) and tea or espresso (for hot). And I enjoy my one glass of red wine for dinner. I also eat full fat dairy, use cream and butter and ghee in my food, opting always for grass fed free range, to get very high quality macro and micronutrients.
Here is some info on soy as related to one part of the risk-benefit puzzle, breast cancer:
"Breast cancer recurrence and overall mortality are lower among women who eat soy foods after their initial diagnosis, JAMA reports.
Some 5000 survivors of breast cancer in Shanghai provided information on lifestyle 6 months after their diagnosis and during several subsequent interviews.
ll read information that says that people should also avoid unfermented soy products. This would include soy milk, since it's not fermented. Use Dr. Mercola's search engine and just type in the key words about soy and you will be taken to a page of archived articles. This will explain what I'm talking about.
My own IBS swings the other direction, but I also have GERD and soy products and anything with sulfites in it irritates my GERD.
Suggest making ‘milkshakes’ out of soy ice cream and soy milk blended together or soy smoothies (soy yogurt, soy milk and frozen fruit). All soy products are milk free because they come from plant and not animal source, however, he will get additional calories and protein for weight gain. Use chocolate or vanilla favored soy products so there is not so much 'soy' favor and it will taste like a real milkshake / smoothies. Has your doctor tried 'Benefiber' for his constipation?
follow-up, women in the highest quartile of soy consumption (for example, tofu, soy milk, or fresh soy beans) showed lower hazard ratios for total mortality (0.71) and recurrence (0.68), relative to those in the lowest quartile.
The effect was noted in both estrogen-receptor–positive and –negative tumors, and with early- and late-stage cancers.
Hello,
The views to this question whether your son who is allergic to milk can take soy milk are different. Milk substitutes including soy based formula, hypoallergenic formulas based on partially or extensively hydrolyzed protein (such as nutramigen, alimentum, and pregestemil) or free amino acids (such as neocate)can be taken in a person who is allergic to milk..
Yeah, I think a vegan/vegetarian might have a harder time with conception, but mostly because they don't get protein from meat. There are many women who are lactose intolerant and drink soy milk on a daily basis- and I don't think they're all infertile or have a harder time conceiving.
I wouldn't worry about it! I love me some chocolate soy milk or iced soy lattes and I've been pregnant 5 times. There was a time when I drank soy milk a ton, as a teenager, because I loved it.
m going to research more just from reading it

For this issue I want to share some information on soy, that many may not be aware of.Since soy is natural product, grown from the earth, one would think it's good for you. All the advertisements sure make it sound healthy, huh? Well let me give you some information that might make you think twice about that next soy burger.
I'm 23 weeks and 2 days. I love soy milk and was just wondering if it was OK to drink?
s Disease, a form of hypothyroid autoimmune disease, can have bad reactions to soy. Soy milk is fine, tofu is fine, tempeh and other fermented soy products such as miso and natto and real soy sauce (this doesn't mean Kikkoman) are fine, fresh soy beans (edamame) are fine, but this shouldn't obviously be the sum total of your diet. All legumes have positive qualities, are good sources of protein and fiber. And remember, all soy milk isn't created equally.
But, I ate soy meat and drank soy milk. These raise you estrogen. Also I drank bottled water in plastic. WEll laying off of these helped some , got hormone free reg milk and cut down on soy meats but it took taking Indole-3 carbinol 400 mg. a day to work. Everytime I try to quit taking this migraines return. So I know it its working. Now maybe 1 day of my period or rarely two I will have a migraine and sometimes not at all. If I do have them now they are less severe.
I have Hashimoto and get no bad taste from almond milk. You can have anything for 1/2 hour after thyroid meds. Nothing but water.
I couldn't handle milk while I was pregnant. It made me sick and my stomach hurt. I would ask your doctor what else you could do if milk makes you sick. You can eat block cheese if you can't handle the milk. Which is what I did.
