Soylent halts sales of its powder as customers keep getting sick
These stories are getting enough press I figure I'll chime in.<p>I've been drinking Soylent since the early days.  At times I've almost exclusively drank soylent.  Since the first early adopters received their first shipments almost 1 year later than originally anticipated.<p>The one thing that has caused mild indigestion for me was when I was drinking Soylent almost exclusively in combination with energy drinks.  Specifically Monster Lo-Carb (1 each morning on weekdays).  Once I eliminated energy drinks from my diet the indigestion stopped.<p>Otherwise my personal impression (given my mostly eventless but extensive history with soylent, along with an inability of the company to precisely define the source of the issue) is that a lot of the bad press is a smear campaign.<p>EDIT:  Another thing that has crossed my mind is that the American diet is notoriously bad.  When switching diet from mostly bad to mostly good a person should expect a change of the composition of the bacteria in their stomach.  Which could lead to the sensation / symptoms of indigestion.
