Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | onion soup mix- is this IBS safe?

Hi Everyone!
"Sand" responded to one of my other posts and included a question about an IBS-safe onion soup mix. I have a mix recipe that I've used for years with my Celiac diet (gluten free), but haven't made it since being diagnosed with IBS. I'll include it here, but if anyone has comments about its safety for IBS please feel free to let me know!! It comes from Bette Hagman's cookbook, The Gluten-free Gourmet Cooks Fast and Healthy.
Onion Soup Mix
*use 2 T. of this mix when a recipe calls for a packet of onion soup mix
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. onion salt
1/2 tsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. Kitchen Bouquet Browning Sauce
1 T. vegetable oil (use Canola)
1/2 c. minced dehydrated onions
1 T. potato starch flour

Combine the onion powder, onion salt, and sugar in a small bowl. Add Kitchen Bouquet and oil. Stir until the seasonings are uniformly colored.
Add the dehydrated onion and mix thoroughly until an even color is achieved. This may take several minutes. (I used to put it in a container with a lid and shake it hard for a couple minutes) Stir in the potato starch flour to keep the flakes separated. Store in a closed container on your pantry shelf.

This makes 1/2 cup of mix, which equals four packets.

My only real question would be if anyone knows anything unsafe about the Kitchen Bouquet. It's obviously GF since it came from this cookbook, but I don't know how it is for IBS.
