It is a preservative commomly found in baked goods to prevent mold in concentrations of about 0.1%. I have never had problems with it.

Oh ok thanks,
So can I ask you why you don't eat soy oil? In a post a while ago I thought I remembered you saying you try to avoid it?
I know for a fact that I can't have the soy flour or milk..
I kind of think soy oil or lechitin bothers me if I have too much of it? Is that also something that may be good to eat in only limited amounts like the fructans u think?
Also, just wanted you opinion on why dairy has to be completetley eliminated from the IBS diet. Do you think it could be added in to your diet carefully like alot of these other foods?

I don't eat soy products because they cause gas & bloating for me. Soy is known to be a problem of many IBSers. For oils I stick with olive, canola and sunflower oil.
Diary is a touchy subject on this board because it is recommended that it be avoided in the EFI diet.
Except for those with lactose intolerance there is little clinical evidence to show that diary products are a problem for IBSers. In a new FODMAP diet article (see reference below) written by the Australian authors of the low fructose/fructan diet they recommend avoiding soft cheeses (cottage, ricotta, etc) and milk products (cow, goat & sheep) but suggest trying hard cheeses and lactose free yogurt.
This new FODMAP paper is really interesting. They are now suggesting there is enough clinical evidence to support the use of this diet to manage symptoms of all functional GI disorder patients which includes those with all IBS subtypes. They claim that up to 75% of individuals that strictly adhere to the diet have a significant reduction in symptoms. Something you may find interesting is that they recommend avoiding foods and beverages containing greater than 0.5 g fructose in excess of glucose per 100 g, greater than 3 g fructose in an average serving quantity regardless of glucose intake and greater than 0.2 g of fructans per serve.
As you may know certain food constituents known as polyols or sugar alcohols such as sorbitol, mannitol and xylitol are FODMAPs and should be avoid. Heather talks about these too but she doesn't refer to them as FODMAPs. One thing they pointed out that I didn't know is that mushrooms are high in mannitol and avocados have a variety of polyols. Both foods should be avoided.
There is a good table in this new article that I should post some day.

Oh thanks, thats very interesting:)
I tried looking this up but I couldn't really find anything.. what do you think about palm oil? coconut oil? The palm oil is added to trader joes's cinnamon crackers, and the coconut oil is in the multivitamins I bought.

You would have to go to a University library to get the original article. I tried to get it on-line via from my university but it was not available. I sent an email to the author and had him send me a copy.
Personally, I stay away from baked goods containing palm or coconut oil because they are rather unhealthy oil with lots of saturated fat. However, the small amount of coconut oil in the vitamin should not be a problem.

What are polyols? Lots of people on the board eat avocados, including Heather. Why are avocados yet another food to avoid? I thought they were safe soluble fiber. I have some on my turkey sandwhich everyday. I have one ounce. Is this causing my upset stomach, pain, bloat, cramps, constipation?
