Soya Milk/Menopause.

[kered]

I got 2 cartons of soya milk yesterday, one normal and one light, should I stick to the light one, or is the normal one healthy enough?

Do you also use it in your tea/coffee or just on cereal?

Should I limit the soya milk like I did with normal milk?

I am sure hoping it helps with these hot flushes, I only slept about 3 hours last night

i only have unsweetened soya..this is fine

cereal only

depends. if you dont mind the taste of it on its own, go for it...its an acquired taste

poor you. i remember my mother suffering with it and having a fan on in the bedroom and also carrying one of those little ones in her handbag when the flushes struck..its great getting older isnt it..cant wait for mine! NOT

Oh thats just like me, a fan on the bedside table, and a wet flannel...........no pj's or nightie - NOT A PRETTY SIGHT, big red blob laying in a pool of sweat haha.

It's worse when the weather gets colder too cos you get up to have a bit of a sponge down and change your nightie and then by the time you get back into bed it's not only sopping but freezing cold too......

Oh yes, I am always freezing after the flushes - sometimes I wish I was a man

Mary, good luck with the soya milk, I hope it helps a little. I take soya in a capsule form. I get them in holland and barrett. They definitely have taken the edge off my flushes. You will need to be on the soya for a month or so to see the benefit.

Molly is that the Isoflavones or whatever they're called? I've been looking at phyto soya but Holland & Barratt don't seem to do it. I don't know whether the isowhatsits are the same - the doseage seems completely different. I'm confused (mind you that's not 'ard ) xx

I started taking the soya milk today, I had it in some weetabix for breakfast, the colour was a little off-putting, but I cant say I noticed a great taste difference. I think it would be better in porridge though.

Oh well, hopefully in another 30 days I can see a difference.....lol.

I didnt get to the herbal shop today to get the capsules which were recommended in a magazine last week, but I will post the name of them from home, as I cant remember what they were called.
