is this an intolerance?

[IAmSoFuckingRock]

can you have a crisp intolerance?

i had some crisps earlier and have had quite painful wind all day since. i have noticed this only happens when i eat crisps. is this normal or an intolerance. also, any suggestions what might help with it this evening? i cant leave the house to buy anything as dcs in bed.

Just noticed this thread.
I once ate some crisps late at night shortly before going to bed, and I had terrible indigestion , so just decided not to do that ever again.
It should have passed by now?

thanks digerd. yes it's gone now. it's been happening for a few years but worse recently so i think i'll just give crisps a miss from now on.

IamSo - is it just crisps? Some crisps (not all) contain gluten, so my DSs (coeliac) can't eat them and would get those sort of symptoms. But that holds true for anything with gluten in it, not just crisps.

i think so. i haven't noticed the same reaction to anything else that i can think of.

hmm - are the crisps really delicious and you are gobbling them a bit too fast?

Sorry, that was a crap joke.

It is a bit mysterious then. I suppose you could experiment to find if it is all crisps or a particular brand and see if that brand has any particular additives?

i really only eat the one brand so it could be just them. or it could be that my body is just saying "no more of those crisps-try something new!"

yes, your body probably wants chocolate or gin now

i will experiment with both.

For a while every time I ate potato I started sweating felt faint and vomited. Very odd! It's not happening at the moment tho.

hmm, i very rarely eat potatoes/chips but i did have chips (was out for lunch) on saturday aswell! maybe the combination of chips and crisps was too much?

Maybe have a break from potato stuff and then reintroduce gradually?
