I think that depends on the person. I don't eat much soy, so I haven't noticed. But I get terribly gassy from peanut butter.

I never had any problems like that before, even with the usual suspects (peppers, cukes) until the stomach symptoms started. Now, even when I'm grain free, I've noticed that I get gassy from peanut butter, chickpeas, hummous, peppers, cukes, crabmeat, what else? Can't think of anything.

I think that for people who are bothered by legumes, soy milk would bother them, too. You'd just have to test it. Soy is a very common allergen in its own right!

Oddly I do not get gassy from the beans that I eat, but soy gives me gas, just the 3 Tablespoons of soy sauce in a stir fry is enough to make me uncomfortable. I avoid most forms of soy.

Another good tool to use for food intolerances is the book "eat right for your blood type". well except they talk about eating wheat etc, I just disregarded that part, but other than that it was right on the spot with my foods, it was really weird to read about myself like that - it was so on target for my blood type.
