My first post! I have IBS too which, appears, to be triggered by my shift work depending on what I eat. Also pork appears to trigger it too. Very strange.

My bowel and stomach have been agrivated through years of taking medication for other contidions. I now get the runs when I have coffee, and am affected by ham and pork, and slight dairy. I also have to be careful of rhubarb whch can bring me out in spots. and likewise tomatoes.

one of the twins has ADHD and isn't meant to have colours, sugar, preservatives or alot of milk
It depends on brands as well - she can have bisto gravy but not co-op etc
cooking for her is a nightmare, she's a bit of a picky eater as well which doesn't help
I used to spend hours reading all the ingredients before I bought anything, now I tend to stick to the same things - ALL THE TIME :?

I have crohns disease so and have had three abdominal surgeries and have had a small intestine resection. I have spent years on a diet and now just trying to eat healthy as i have a tendancy to get obsessed and end up in hospital. I like Anne have had runs for 14 years and nothing changes it.

Can't eat some salad stuff and depending on my mood will depend upon the differnet tolerences i have.

Hi, just joined!

I have constantly sneezed and had colds for as long as I can remember (probably since my very early teens). Drove me (and everyone else) crazy, doctor just splurted out usual garb. Last year I finally got sent for allergy tests, and the result was house dust mite allergy. :?

However, since cutting out a lot of carbs and ALL bread since the start of the year, I have discovered that it was probably bread (or at least yeast) all along!! When I did have some fresh bread about 2 months ago, within 15 minutes or so I came down with the heaviest cold I had had in a long time. I have tried eating bread on a few occassions since, and the same happened. It effects me really badly when I eat fresh bread, but not so much when I eat sliced. Do you think it's a yeast thing? My theory was that maybe fresh bread had more yeast in, or the yeast was fresher or something?!! I'm just so relieved that I can now control my sneezing!! And it also comes in handy for when I want to get off work early :twisted: :smt005

My problem is migraines. Some (in fact a great many) are stress-related, but some are food-related too. I'd worked out citrus fruits for myself when I was 18, and eliminating them from my diet worked wonders for a few years. Then the migraines got worse again. Eventually I went for allergy testing (cost a bomb), and was told a great string of things to avoid. I've gradually re-introduced many, but there are some things that I still avoid at all costs - namely citrus fruits, cows-milk cheese, and anything that comes from a pig. Avoid most of the time - coffee (which I no longer enjoy anyway), caffeine and chocolate (but do have some of those occasionally).

I used to be so easy to feed, now I'm a pain in the backside
