According to NetGrocer, Miracle Whip Free contains:
WATER, HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, VINEGAR, SUGAR, MODIFIED FOOD STARCH, SOYBEAN OIL*, CONTAINS LESS THAN 2% OF SALT, CELLULOSE GEL, EGG YOLKS*, CITRIC ACID, CREAM*, ARTIFICIAL COLOR, LACTIC ACID, WITH POTASSIUM SORBATE AND CALCIUM DISODIUM EDTA AS PRESERVATIVES, XANTHAN GUM, MUSTARD FLOUR, CELLULOSE GUM, SPICE, PAPRIKA, L-CYSTEINE, YELLOW 6, PHYLLOQUINONE (VITAMIN K1), NATURAL FLAVOR, BETA CAROTENE, ARTIFICIAL FLAVOR, BLUE 1 (*TRIVIAL SOURCE OF FAT AND CHOLESTEROL).
I would be careful because of the high-fructose corn syrup, soybean oil, egg yolks, and cream.
Hellmann's Low-Fat Mayonnaise Dressing is better. Its ingredients are:
WATER, CORN SYRUP, SOYBEAN OIL, MODIFIED FOOD STARCH, EGG WHITES, VINEGAR, SALT, MALTODEXTRIN, GUMS (CELLULOSE GEL AND GUM, XANTHAN, CARRAGEENAN), NATURAL FLAVORS, COLOR ADDED, MUSTARD FLOUR, SODIUM BENZOATE AND CALCIUM DISODIUM EDTA (USED TO PROTECT QUALITY).
It does, however, have 1 gram of fat (from the soybean oil) per serving.
Kraft Fat Free Mayo contains:
WATER, SUGAR, MODIFIED FOOD STARCH, NATURAL FLAVOR (CONTAINS EGG*), VINEGAR, HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, CONTAINS LESS THAN 2% OF SALT, CELLULOSE GEL, XANTHAN GUM, ARTIFICIAL COLOR, DRIED CREAM*, WITH POTASSIUM SORBATE AND CALCIUM DISODIUM EDTA AS PRESERVATIVES, LACTIC ACID, PHOSPHORIC ACID, VITAMIN E ACETATE, LEMON JUICE CONCENTRATE, YELLOW 6 PHYLLOQUINONE (VITAMIN K1), BLUE 1. (*TRIVIAL SOURCE OF FAT AND CHOLESTEROL).
Again, I would be careful because of the egg, high-fructose corn syrup, and cream. However, this is the mayonnaise Heather said she uses.
Finally, there are the flat-out mayonnaise substitutes, available at healthy food stores. I've heard that Nayonnaise tastes terrible, so I've never tried it, but that Vegannaise is good. However, I don't know how much fat it has, and I can't find the ingredients online. Has anyone had any
experience with Vegannaise (or Nayonnaise, for that matter)?
Finally, a local restaurant makes their own soy mayonnaise (from tofu, I presume), and it's actually quite good. Has anyone done this? Care to post a tried-and-true recipe? Thanks.

I found a tofu mayonnaise recipe! I haven't tried it yet, but it might be a good solution for anyone who has trouble finding a (palatable) low-fat/fat-free mayonnaise at the store.
Tofu Mayonnaise from _Nikki and David Goldbeck's American Wholefoods Cuisine_
1/2 pound tofu (1 large or 2 small cakes)
2 tablespoons lemon juice or cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon prepared mustard
3 tablespoons oil
2 to 4 tablespoons water
Pat tofu dry with a paper towel and combine in a blender or a processor fitted with a steel blade with lemon juice, salt, and mustard. Process until creamy. With machine running, add oil through feeder cap, then water, until mayonnaise is of desired consistency. Makes 1 cup.

Hey Amelia!
I tried Nayonaisse once and I liked it.  (I wish I could still eat it!) I seem to be outvoted though...no one else seems to like it! (Including Heather if I remember correctly!) Just wanted to throw my vote for yeah on the nayonaisse out there! 
Btw, your summer lunches post was truly AMAZING! If you like potatoes, try a baked potato for lunch too 
*hugs*

Love you too, Ruchie............2 thumbs up for Ruchie.
Nayonaisse is not what I'd call the gourmet mayonnaise of the millennium, but if you can't get Emeril to come make it special for you then Nayonnaise will suffice. Kandee

I think when you're first starting out on the IBS diet, it's better just to follow Heather's guidelines rather than the info on this board. The boards are here to discuss the diet, but a lot of people, after being stable, find they are able to tolerate some triggers, if eaten in small amounts and safely. It can be confusing at first, so I would focus on the Eating for IBS diet until you're at a place where you feel you can safely try new foods.
Also, I think a FF or LF mayonnaise is recommended as a substitute - remember this is a low-fat diet, not a no-fat diet.  EFI Substitution List

There are four types of real food you just shouldn't eat and can eliminate with no health hazards: red meat, dark meat poultry and skin, egg yolks, and dairy.
There are a lot of additives you should avoid: MSG, HFCS, fructose itself in too concentrated a form (e.g., a big glass of orange juice), and probably a few others I've forgotten.
There are two types of real food that are IBS triggers, but that you must eat to stay healthy: fats and insoluble fiber. For both of these, eat them with a good soluble fiber base. For fat, make sure you don't overdo.
You can take a look at this old thread and see if that helps. Somewhere in here I have a hyperlink to a post by LittleMinnie that is really, really helpful so definitely take a look at that, too.
As Maria says, you do really need to use Heather's book and/or the Website outside the Boards to learn about how the diet works in its pure form. On the Board, people are discussing the Diet at the margins: I can tolerate some wine, I can't eat any whole grain, I can handle popcorn, all that kind of stuff. To start, though, you need to understand the diet as Heather describes it and follow that.
HTH.
