Tofu is soy-based and some people don't do great with soy. Also, check the fat content, as fat of any kind can trigger an attack. Hope that helps. Panda

Check the fat content on the cream cheese. Just because it's soy doesn't mean it's low fat. You might have to use just a smidgen of something like soy cream cheese. Regular tofu is pretty low in fat.

Hi Heather, I am just wanting to know how much of a portion to use. If you are having rice, a protein such as fish, chicken etc, a salad or vegetable how much of the rice would be needed to eat the ininsoluble fiber.
