Or is it just a select few?

I've always assumed it does it to everyone but now I'm wondering...?

It's the Fodmaps - sugars in soya that ferment in your gut if you are sensitive to it. I've never been able to eat soya without feeling ill.

I can eat a normal amount of tofu and I'm ok. However, soya that is less cooked than that isn't OK - soya cheese, yoghurt and milk all make me feel really ill. There is a soya ladder for soya intolerance/allergy and some forms of soya are more likely to cause problems. I only worked out why I had problems with soya milk but.noy soy sauce or tofu when I had a soya allergic DD and looked at the ladder for the first time.
