Soy Meat with IBS

Status: Not recommended

Soy Meat is classified as not recommended for IBS based on current dietary assessments. Meat and fish are important protein sources but differ considerably in fat content and fatty acid profiles. With IBS, individuals react very differently to specific foods; the FODMAP approach, which focuses on fermentable carbohydrates, is widely used. The reasoning given is: soy contains galactans. The assessment is based on experience-based assessments and expert consensus.
