I'm hoping this means low soy-food prices. And other beans. Beans are the best.

Sure, beans are rough. Is there something worse than McDonald’s chicken though?

I haven't had one in forever because they're fried in soy oil and it aggravates my IBS. I had to quit working at Wendy's because the amount of fry oil I ingested just from working the fryers made my guts stop working right.

It’s at the top of the list of things that will fuck my IBS.

Dude I have some form of severe ibs. Going whole-foods plant-based was the best thing I ever did for my gut. Like I am literally on the verge of complete remission, held back only by occasionally eating things that throw a wrench in it like using too much salt, and occasionally eating processed foods containing industrial emulsifiers (it's hard to give up sriracha ☹️).

And yes, beans and particularly soy beans are a large part of that diet, and have been hugely beneficial.

I lowkey think it might be an actual allergy, because it makes stuff come out both ends simultaneously, but insurance doesn't want to cover allergy testing if I don't have a history of anaphylaxis, so fuck me I guess. I'm also wondering if IBS is even the correct diagnosis, and maybe my gut problems are related to the bone spurs compressing my spinal cord in my neck, but again, insurance.

Right now my diet is primarily rice, zucchini, and canned tuna, no spices, no fat, nothing that makes it even remotely palatable. Adding fiber makes it worse. I used to be such a foodie, and this is hell.
