I'm thinking of trying mayonaisse but have discovered mustard is an ingredient in most brands. Can anyone here manage either food? I keep trying to expand my options but don't do it without research of course.
Thanks in advance.

I've been okay with both, but I do use only a very small amount--just enough to sort of 'flavor' a sandwich.

oooohhh. This gives me reason to be hopeful. For me too. All I want is a familiar salad flavour on a sanga with only lettuce as a crunchy salad item. I'll try it next week when I'm home for Christmas and save buying mayo in case it doesn't work.
Thanks heaps.

thanks for the tips. Most mayo contain mustard and that is my concern but it sounds like a little bit might be ok.
Thanks ladies.

A little bit of mayo on a sandwich doesn't seem to bother me . I also have added a tiny bit to some tuna and have tolerated that ok as well.

No to the mustard- at least not in big amounts because of the IBS. It triggered issues badly. Light mayo though may be worth a try.

I'd stay away from the mustard. Also, I seem to recall that mayo has vinegar which is acidic.

Have you considered avocado on a sandwich?

thanks for more feedback.
I've only found one mayo minus the mustard and its low fat i think. I'll check it out. I don't normally eat mustard just included it as a concerning ingredient in most mayos. I can handle small amounts of vinegar and white wine. ( a few sips).
I do put avo on my sangas already its just I want some flavours of summer. (I'm down under) I may never get raw vegies other than lettuce and want a little taste of normal now and then.
I'm visiting a friend today who has the mayo I mention so I might bring some home to try at a later time.
Thanks again,
Cas

Yeah, I live in Avocado land--California

I love avos but with my IBS have to limit the amount I have each day. Still I'm not eating any less than I use to most days.

I can't do mayo unless its homemade due to the soy thats in all commercial brands. Mustard the only one I can do is the Frenchs Dijon, it has to be in tiny amounts.
Avocado's I can't do---) :

Sandwich--What's that???---LOL
