Solae soy protein, an ingredient in many soy-based foods, is specially processed and should not produce gas or flatulence, as it is essentially free of flatulence-producing carbohydrates as found in many products made from the whole soybean.

"People who eat large quantities of soybean based foods complain of bloating, flatulence, and indigestion in greater numbers than people who eat meat based protein…People vary in their degree of tolerance to soy foods. Some people have no problems eating them, particularly in smaller amounts, but when larger quantities are eaten especially in conjunction with an overall high fiber diet, indigestion and gas may result."

All DrSoy protein bars and cookies are made with a soy protein isolate which is specially processed and should not produce gas or flatulence, as it is essentially free of flatulence-producing carbohydrates as found in many products made from the whole soybean.
