Please list IBS triggers

HI SERGEY....I am now 48, have not been to the gastro in at least 5 years, and I am asymptomatic so long as I do not consume any of the substances I learned I am reactive to. I was previously pretty much a 100% gastrointestinal cripple after suffering worsening IBS from the age of 8 years old. These are my personal offending foods, listed alphabetically and separating into [2] categories generally �strong reactions� from �moderate to weak� reactions: _______________________STRONGLY REACTIVE:BAY LEAF, BEEF, BLACK PEPPER, [CANDIDA ALBICANS], CARROT, CHERRY, COCOA, COCONUT, PARSLEY, PEAR, PINEAPPLE, TEA, TROUT, TUMERIC, WHEATMODERATE TO MILD REACTIVITY:AVOCADO, BASIL, BUCKWHEAT, CINAMMON, CLAM, CODFISH, COFFEE, CORN, COWS MILK, CUCUMBER, DILL, EGGPLANT, GINGER, GREEN PEPPER, HONEY, KAMUT, MANGO, NUTMEG, OLIVE, OREGANO, QUINOA, SPELT, TOMATO, TUNA _______________________Prior to strict elimination dieting I was also reactive to orange, and turkey. I also used to be reactive to several food colorings and the entire nasty �SORB� family (polysorbates 60 and 80, sorbitol). After (3) years of 100% abstinence I recovered enough tolerance to eat each in moderation (reactivity subsided). I can use tomato catsup and corn "products" in moderation as my sensitivity is now low to these. I have to take a pretty good dose to cause a clinically noticeable problem. I have also been through a course of antifungal therapy x2 for an episodes of coexisting intestinal candidiasis which caused sudden exacerbation of my symptoms followed prolonged periods of remission (which as a consequence elicited an immune-[granulocyte]- response to candida as reflected above}I can eat pretty much any other non-histaminic food (ugh...I get histamine symptoms fast) but try to avoid all processed foods (additive-containing) because it is as yet impossible to determine reactivity to every single additive out there. (3,500 approx.). Americans consume over 20 pounds ON AVERAGE of additives a year anyway...this is just too much of a load for some people to process without consequences. It is 10 times the amount consumed just [4]decades ago.I literally have no idea anymore what any pre-prepared meal might taste like from the grocers freezer or that junk they serve at restaurants where the meals are modularized. I also cannot recall spending even one night in the last 4 years on the bathroom floor sick like I used to almost every night. When I do get an episode it is very mild, and can always be matched up to an accidental or intentional ingestion of an offending food from this list. The exceptions where (2) flare-ups from candidiasis as noted above which responded to nystatin.-----------------------I recommend getting and reading this book, written by the leading authority on food intolerance and allergy Prof. Jonothan Brostoff, M.D. It will become evident why MAGGIEW is correct in what she said above: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/089...6487508-3420903 Have a DFDMNL_____________ www.leapallergy.com
