Reaction to Preservatives?

[DanaG]

I did Jenny Craig last year without eating most of the fruit and other things that irritate IC and I was fine. I decided to go back on it recently having put some of the weight back on and now I feel like everything I eat (which is exactly what I ate last year) is putting me in a flare. The only thing I can think of is maybe they changed the preservatives in the food...? I know sometimes frozen foods give me problems, but as I said, none of these did in the past so I am unsure why they are now.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Thanks.

I did Jenny Craig last year and had a constant terrible flare. When my health was so bad, I had to stop. I thought maybe it was the fact that they use soy in all their products (its a cheap source of protein) and my IC doesn't like soy. But, I also think it could be all the preservatives.

It's too bad really. I liked their food and the convenience of it, but I just can't eat all the package and frozen food.

Thanks. Yeah I don't know if they changed the preservatives or what. I did it last year also, but had absolutely no problems whatesoever. I find it so odd that now I can't tolerate it and everything I eat of theirs causes me to flare. Bizarre (and very frustrating b/c I loved that diet!).
