Re: Clear liquid diet?? - soy milk

[Guest guest]

I asked my husband and he says there is no lactose in soy milk,

whether purchased or made yourself (we just bought a soymilk maker

and it works great!). Rice milk and other nut milks should be the

same.

I've just about given up cow's milk except for the little bit I use

at work in my tea since they don't supply soy. Maybe I should bring

my own!

I really like the way soy milk brings out the nutty flavour in my

granola cereal.

ohh, i love soy and granola! the only cereal i eat is that or Mueseli

(sp?) with soy milk. i do not drink milk- eew our bodies are not

designed to digest and process milk after the age of 7 or 8 and

especially not cow's milk. there is no lactose in soy (or any

grain/nut) milk!

what i have been using since the surgery to blend with is lactose free

milk. i find that soy milk changes the taste of alot of foods in a

negative way (although sometimes also positive) so the lactose free

milk really comes in handy.

BTW i dont know about soy milk being okay for a clear liquid diet- it

seems that its not a clear liquid but that may not be a problem. ask

you OS to make sure.
