Mine is sage and onion stuffing - oh my lord! Anyone else care for a bit of lighthearted divulging? Better out than in, after all!

Far too many!

Egg Yolks cooked a certain way - poached is fine for some reason but even then only one and if I generally feel OK.

Coffee

Excess Bread

More than two homemade scones (but they are so yummy)

Brassica Veg

Hot dogs

I think I have an underlying condition related to Type 2 diabetes & Metformin but frankly GPs got other things on their minds at the moement

Wheat is the worst. Veggies of various kinds can be terrible, but I've worked out that it's their freshness that matters. So I can have nightshades (potatoes, aubergines, courgettes, peppers, etc) if they are super-fresh - like bought in the last day or two and still crunchy and fresh, but if they have been sitting around for a while - disaster! I also have to be really careful with fermented foods or foods that ferment in the gut. So fruit has to be eaten on its own. If I eat fruit after a meal it sits in my gut and ferments, which is very bad.

Those orange dried apricots are bad, because they have sulfur dioxide added as a preservative. That's the stuff that smells like rotten eggs. The natural (brown) ones without it are okay, although dried/stewed dried fruit is very high in fibre, which can be windy on its own.

Strangely I can have milk in tea and coffee and can eat cheese but milky drinks means I’m sat on the loo for 30 minutes after drinking

Bluesheep8 · 30/03/2020 11:23

Sausages. Particularly reduced fat ones Blush

Chicken and popcorn...dear Lord the smell!

HaudMaDug · 30/03/2020 13:01

Cucumber. For a veg that tastes of nothing when you eat it, it has plenty of flavour when its coming back at you.

I'm with you on the sage and onion stuffing OP. Somebody open a window!

Hopeisnotastrategy · 30/03/2020 13:13

For those affected by broccoli and cauliflower - don’t eat the stalks.

Butter beans. If I have too many I can go airborne

Pork, it ferments in my stomach and escapes both ends! I can literally feel my stomach filling up again with gas every time it empties. I'm suprised I haven't actually exploded.

Dried apricots 😷

motherheroic · 30/03/2020 13:47

Grapes and apples!

Roast garlic.
Once made soup with about 50 cloves of it. The resultant fug made Chernobyl look like a sweet breeze.

My DS has been noxious all afternoon. Apparently he had a meat pie for lunch.

AliciaJohnson · 30/03/2020 19:23

Same DS has also reminded me of the night I made Four Bean Pot.

Liquorice! The last time my ex was nearly sick the house stank so much and I was banned from eating it, luckily now hes ex I can eat it as much as I like. Which is a lot!

FleasAndKeef · 30/03/2020 20:03

Malt loaf!

Zisforstripyoss · 30/03/2020 20:08

Maltitol, the pretend sugar.

Also brassicas, but I love them so.

Zisforstripyoss · 30/03/2020 20:09

And chocolate if I eat too much which I never do Grin

clippityclop · 30/03/2020 20:12

Lentils, especially the brown ones. Such a shame because I love them.

MrJollyLivesNextDoor · 30/03/2020 20:23

Processed onions..stuffing, French onion soup etc

Fresh onions no problem

Bizarre

SeaOtterFluff · 30/03/2020 20:25

Cauliflower, broccoli and cabbage. DH made me sleep with my own duvet and the window open after last night's roast dinner.
This thread has been pure therapy, I needed that laugh.
