As Snorkie said, Chinese food can be very iffy. Chinese is probably one of the most "westernized" of the ethnic cuisines – meaning that it is almost nothing like what you would actually get in China. That means that it is usually dripping in oil, and/or is fried, and/or contains something that will likely give you problems. Surprisingly the noodles can also be ridiculously high in fat. And another thing, it is usually loaded with MSG – something that can irritate a lot of people WITHOUT IBS, never mind those of us that DO have it. I thought I was being safe one evening by having steamed rice and chicken with corn – it seemed innocent enough, but it did bother me, and I regretted it. You're better off trying to recreate some of your favourite Chinese dishes at home.
