When I decided to go dairy-free for my health, the only dairy-free milk and cheese alternatives on the market were made with soy. Believing that soy was good for me, I dived into soy products with great enthusiasm.
Although I did find some relief from my chronic stomach ache and constipation, which was due to the fact that I’m eliminating gluten from my diet, I still don’t feel as much as I used to.
So, I went back to the research, and found that soy was not as healthy as everyone said! I was shocked because soybeans were supposed to be a healthy alternative to vegan dairy.
Once I removed soy from my diet and replaced it with keto dairy alternatives, my health finally began to improve and all the chronic stomach pain as well as the constipation that had plagued me for so long began to disappear.
