I was wondering if one of these is better tolerated than the other? I cant get myself to drink a glass of either of them cause it just seems like they will cause an attack. I have both the soy and rice milks in my fridge but I mainly use them for cooking. Is brown rice ok when its used in drinks or protein powders - Im not sure where I read it but I have it in my head that anything that says brown rice is bad. Is this true at all? I have rice milk, amazake drinks, and brown rice protein powder all sitting in my kitchen wasting away cause Im scared to try them! Any advice would be great!!

If you don't have any known issues with soy - I would go with the Soy milk because I think it tastes better. I generally only use it on top of cereal or in recipes. I don't usually drink a glassful.
As far as the brown rice question. I think many people seem to tolerate it okay if they are already stable but probably don't want to risk it if you are currently having troubles. I'm pretty sure most rice cakes are made with brown rice and I know many people like those. (Personally I think they are pretty close in flavor to cardboard)
Hope this helps,
Leigh

I use Rice Dreams original flavor milk. I like it much better than the Silk Soy. Just my own personal preference, it taste more like regular skim milk, and not as creamy.
I rarely drink it by the glass, mainly just in my cereal. But I think it would be prefectly safe to try a small glass. Try just drinking a small glass of it and see how you do, start off slow and gradually work your way up to a tall glass of milk!! And then you can dip some IBS safe cookies it in... mmmm!!
