My husband has a healthy colon and he can't eat chinese food either....it just kills him! I think it's the MSG they put in it. I had j-pouch surgery last year and I can eat pretty much anything I want now but chinese food still makes me feel ill and then the increased visits to the potty start. Sometimes you just crave it though! Feel better!

Nothing like an abundance of salt, MSG, grease, and sugar! :)

Yup sure does go through you,have lost all the weight I put on when I was on holiday.Not the best way to diet,should have gone for Indian like hubby wanted but just fancied a Chinese so much.

Egg Fu Yung and rice (not fried) is the only Chinese meal I can eat without later problems.

I agree ... MSG! It really doesn't sit well with me!

It's not ALL bad for the gut-- depends on the ingredients. I generally do fine with boiled rice, chicken, & noodle dishes plus know I have to avoid bamboo shoots & Szechuan spices. Maybe if you sort things out, Lambkins, you'll find several choices that won't cause you digestive problems. / Old Hat (30 yrs with left-sided UC; presently in remission taking brandname Colazal)

I eat Chinese that specifically say MSG free and I have no issue. I love chinese food but if it doesn't have that NO MSG sign hanging in there window, forget it!

I personally like the sweet and sour chicken or pork :)
