Ok, so does the average IBSer need to watch all those things that might have msg? Like if it says 'soy protein' how can we avoid that? I haven't noticed an MSG problem but I have avoided things that say MSG but not things that say hydrolized soy protein etc. and I don't want to. I won't be able to have my favorite soy sauce, ice cream etc. But then why avoid "MSG" if you don't avoid the other maybes? That is why I have been trying to ignore this whole issue. I wish my hairdresser had not mentioned it at all. I mean I won't buy fisher and planters peanuts because of msg but I do buy LaChoy soy sauce etc.

"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
