The rice 'milk' I had delivered on Tuesday is 'wathery' stuff - coffee is better bout it - but it is passable in tea.
I have a carton of oat 'milk' to try after this rice 'milk' is finished.

whisper -3 days and bowels are better already

I must admit to having icecream at Francos tonight
I am not trying to be a martyr

Ok, Margaret , decided to follow your advice and try some "non-dairy" milk substitute drink , my local health conscious grocery has a new product on sale "Organic Whole grain drink" , made with organic bown rice, amaranth, millet (budgie food !!!) and quinoa, plus enriched with vitamins A,D,B12 and calcium. stuff tastes ok , but can't figure out how something "organic" can have a expiry date of July 2 2010.

Strange you should mention that date: that's the date my surgeon tattooed on my ass after surgery .... and I'm organic ... at least, I think I am

In my opinion Soy Milk is much better than Cow Milk, but it tastes better Cow milk, also can be mixed

I avoid all soya products
CONCERNS REGARDING SOYBEANS
There are conflicting reports available - best to read both sides before you decide whether to include it in your diet.
My policy is 'when in doubt don't' - other people are less cautious.

I have tried 'oat milk' and 'rice milk'
Both have get a 'sludge' settlement in the bottom of the carton, even when you remember to shake before pouring.
This sludge is unpleasant to find at the bottom of your cuppa.
I now drink coffee black and use a splash of rice milk in tea.

I've just done the entire opposite and given a weekly order to a local milkman. I thought about it and would rather he had the money for something I would usually buy from Spar, plus he is cheaper and the glass bottles must be better for the environment. Only semi skimmed 3 times a week but he does other stuff too so will see how we go!
