My wife started Silk soy milk several years ago when she found out that she
was allergic to regular milk and her sinuses were acting up as you
described.

Since then I have found that I cant even use regular milk over two days in a
row in my cereal (I never did drink milk). In my case, eating Dairy King
ice cream immediately causes gas, and drinking milk causes diarrhea.

She buys the vanilla flavored one and we use it in cooking and cerial, plus
she drinks it like milk. I have never heard anything really bad about using
it, but have heard piles of good stuff about how good it is for you.
