The only soy milk I’ve been able to drink is Soy Dream because I am sensitive to carrigeenan which all other soy milk has in it – Soy Dream was the only milk that didn’t.

Until recently.

When I opened my new case of Soy Dream, I was surprised to see a new package with “new and improved taste!” on it. I looked at the ingredients and, to my horror, found carrigeenan in it! Ack!

I wrote to the company – that was two weeks ago – and have not heard one word. My husband is content to drink what we purchased, so we didn’t return it. Yesterday we went to the grocery store and saw that there was a close out sale on all the old packages of Soy Dream, so we bought them all.

The person we buy our bulk food from (he runs a food buying club) has offered to let me use his equipment to make my own soy milk. I may have to take him up on that.

So I was feeling pretty good yesterday and then I had a relapse today. I barely made it through work. I just ate two cloves of garlic (raw) with my dinner, took vitamin C, and some other vitamins and I’ll be in bed soon. It’s unusual for me to get colds back to back, but that’s what has happened the past month. My immune system must be doing some weird things causing me to be more susceptable to “stuff”.

I often feel kind of “cold-ish” right before my periods (when I have them), so I’m guessing that the hormonal stuff I’ve been experiencing could be contributing to the weakened immune system…..
