If you use soy milk it is *highly* unlikely that you would be
sensitive to tofu. Tofu is made directly from soy milk and is
usually *better* tolerated than the milk itself.
MSG, which is commonly used in Chinese cooking (and someone
suggested as a possible cause of the problem) usually causes
headaches in sensitive individuals, and not digestive upsets.
I would look for other ingredients as the culprit and try tofu
to see if you can tolerate it.
