Yeah, I know that's confusing, so I'm glad you asked. I didn't mean to sound preachy since we all have our own journey.
What I meant is that when I used to eat soy, I was a mess. I had terrible gas, horrible stomach pains and explosive D whenever I ate soybean oil. Once I ate a carton of soy ice cream and I began shaking uncontrollably and not from the cold. By 2pm every day, my stomach was so bloated and gassy that I was untouchable - when my husband came home I literally wouldn't let him near me because I was so prickly. We didn't have sex (TMI?) for years because I was so miserable.
As soon as I cut out soy (and other irritants, but mainly soy), the gas and D went away. Completely. I still have IBS and I'm still quite unhappy about it, but my symptoms would probably be considered more manageable and less severe than many of you. Mainly, my gut never feels empty. As if I need to GO, and if I could, I would feel all better. It's uncomfortable and annoying, but not nearly disruptive as having constant D or gas.
So, I'm still on my journey and still hoping to discover a cure, but the elimination of soy was an enormous step in the right direction.
Make sense?
