I searched for Amie/Khyricat's posts about carageenan. Quote:
I absolutely CAN'T eat anythign with carageenan in it.. thats my latest newfound trigger.. and I have only found one brand of rice or soy milk without it so far- rice dream and soy dream.. at 3 stores.. one of which is my local HFS.... haven't tried whole foods yet or trader joes.. they are on the other side of town... but I can't imagine there being more brands then our Meijers, Kroger and Arbor Farms carry since the 2 bigger stores have very large health food sections.. Kroger has an entire aisle of alternative milks, but nothing other then those 2 (including nut milks) was without carageenan... and it gave me horrid D and cramping without a long lag after drinking it...

In further posts she said that it was because of its connection with MSG and she is extra sensitive to MSG. Not everyone is sensitive to MSG and carageenan is in almost all soy products. If someone is sensitive to MSG they cannot eat hydrolized proteins, yeast extract, etc. So it would be a good idea for those who aren't as stable as they want to be to do a test of removing all MSG derivatives for a week or two- including carageenan.

"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!
