Soya milk contains two oligosaccharides such as raffinose and stachyose, which is also found in other foods, mainly in onions, cabbage, broccoli and other beans. Raffinose and stachyose cannot be digested by our body and will be fermented by gut bacteria, resulting in the production of gas. Actually they are prebiotic compounds are very healthy and stimulate the growth of "good" bacteria. If you make your own soya milk you can reduce the quantity of oligosaccharides by increasing the soaking time of the soya beans.

Probably the soymilk is not well prepared. Especially when saponin is in the soymilk, it can cause disorder in the digestive system
