I had always thought Earth Balance was soy oil margarine. The soy oil margarine I buy (Willow Run) is about 11 grams too I think. I am out right now and getting some this morning. But anyway as long as margarine doesn't have any dairy dervitives it is about the same. I don't think any dairy free ones are much lower in fat than the rest of the dairy free. Besides, it being made of soybean oil is not a big deal- the others are just vegetable oil and that is pretty much the same when you get down to it. (it isn't "soy" as in tofu like, it is soy as in soybean oil, so it is pretty normal).

"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!
