what is normal?

[tanukisuit]

Is it normal for TVP to make me violently ill? And is it normal for soy to make me feel like glass shards are going through my intestines?
I'm not a troll, I swear. I'm trying to figure out which foods I'm allergic to.

Yeah, actually. I haven't eaten soy in about 2 years, probably even longer. That term describes me to a T.
I'm looking for something that is the least disgusting in coffee. If you have any helpful suggestions, feel free.

Hm. Well, it's down to personal preference, so the best thing would probably be (if/once you can afford it) purchasing and trying each of the plant milks you can find - rice, almond, hemp, quinia, oat, other brands of soy (or probably not that last one for you actually, ouch).

Personally, I found rice milk both too thin and a bit too sweet, but people seem to have wildly varying preferences when it comes to their plant milks.

*quinoa, oops.

Plant milks are totally fine in cereal and such.... but for some reason, they all taste weird in coffee. I guess I have to keep drinking it black.

If cost is an issue, plant milks are VERY easy to make at home with any blender, and they're much cheaper than the boxes on the shelf. Soak nuts or rice or whatever overnight and blend (there are lots of recipes that tell you exactly what ratios to use).

-5 for being a JERK!

No, no, no... I thought it was cute in a playful way. Not like being mean, no way.

[tanukisuit]

Well, I don't. I thought maybe people were crazy for eating soy.

[tanukisuit]

Well, unlike you, I don't know many vegan people. Yanno, it's hard to tell what is normal if you're the only soy drinking person you know.
