(just a joke  )
I kind of figure regular mayonnaise is off limits...no-brainer, right? (too bad, I love mayo!)
But are there other safe condiments to eat? Ketchup, mustard, relish, BBQ sauce, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, etc?
I know we have to look out for things like HFCS and MSG and dairy and such, I was just curious as to what I should try and stay away from.
Thanks!

you can eat mayo just makes sure its low fat and has no egg yolk and hfcs free its hard to fine but you can them. They same goes fro the bbq and Worcestershire sauce (french's is safe) relish is hard to find as well.Mustard fine if you can handle it and heniz organic ketchup is safe. hth

Soy sauce and mustard are almost always safe. Worchestershire sauce (pronounced wustersure BTW- a pet peeve of mine), ketchup and BBQ very often have HFCS. I get organic ketchup and worchestershire and found Bull's Eye and a couple other BBQ w/o HFCS (some tomato based sauces make people get icky acidy tummies). I was looking at the new olive oil mayo and it is pretty safe also Smart Balance is doable. I get the egg free one from the organic section though. Always watch fat content in mayo and salad dressing.

I use Smart Beat mayo and have no problems. It has 0 fat too.
