Foods you can no longer eat

Bread and mince pies at the moment. But I will persevere with both 😀

Onions.

I could have eaten boiled onions on a bed of fried onions served with onion sauce in my younger days but now more than a condiment amount just sit and sing loudly and embarrassingly inside me for hours.

Haven’t tolerated bananas, peanuts or sweet peppers for years. Even The smell now puts me off.

Nothing really but I certainly can't consume a fully loaded plate anymore. I don't mind that it helps to keep my weight down.

peppers, chillis, bananas

I used to love a curry but spicy food no longer agrees with me. Also I can only eat small plates of food.

I also have a hiatus hernia. Chocolate and ice-cream seem to set mine off. Mind you I still have both when the occasion arises😀

My husband eats ice cream to calm his hiatus hernia ( allegedly).

I get awful heartburn and reflux now if I eat citrus fruits, vine fruits or extreme spices like curry.
I replace mince pies, Xmas pud and Christmas cake with profiteroles, chocolate log, and trifle at this time of year so as not to miss out. 🎄🎅

I struggle with bread and fried food it lodges in my chest so I do try to avoid it. I only eat small quantities of foods and a massive plateful puts me off completely.

Any fried food, any very spicy food - mild spice is ok and anything creamy. Gaviscon is a permanent fixture in my bathroom cabinet

Anything with wheat in it has to limited to I piece, slice or small portion a day, I too get acid reflux if it eat these, although I decided to chance it with a lovely bowl of spaghetti bolognaise last week whilst on holiday, big mistake.

Fat. Anything fatty, chips, sausages. Basically anything fried gives me heartburn and acid reflux.

I have both DD and IBS, so nowadays I can't eat anything too spicy or anything too fatty. It's a bit of a juggling act, because I do need to eat a certain amount of fibre, but too much makes things worse, so I can only eat a certain amount of vegetables and fruit. Onions are also tricky - I used to love French onion soup, but now a bowl would have me in pain for days. Same with baked potatoes - the skin is the best part for me, but I just can't eat it now, so have to content myself with just the insides.

Me too henetha. Not heartburn though. Makes me feel sick and then I have a bad stomach for about 24 hours. I've gone off a lot of foods I used to love. But as someone else has said, it is helping my weight.

It’s miserable isn’t it, walking a tightrope between what you want and what you know won’t cause issues later. I’ve had my gallbladder out, and have gastritis so can’t eat anything fatty, tomatoes or onions.

It's horrible isn't it, GagaJo. But every cloud... at least it helps us lose weight. I hope you are able to enjoy your Christmas dinner at least.

I have a hiatus hernia that does the same to me.
In fact any food others enjoy at Christmas upsets me, especially cooked dried fruit. I substitute when I can and make the food for everyone else. The Christmas cake lasts till easter then the Simnel cake, which moves onto mincemeat loaf cake and tea bread. All for DH when he goes walking.
We hope o go to relations I have already got the omeprazole and Gaviscon ready.
The one thing I really miss is our traditional Rum Butter a delight to eat and a night of pain and reflux for doing so.

Since my 40’s I developed IBS, at first it was so bad that some fruits, ie oranges, wholemeal/seeded breads, the more creamier the milk made me worse so skimmed is good, some yogurts, cream and oily greasy foods, all made me feel unwell with bloatedness, pain, spasms, and labour like pains which made childbirth seem painless. I’m not so bad now & just 60+, but now get gastritis problems and there’s another load of food that can cause a flare up, especially oily food or acidic.

I have Diverticulosis and have not yet what foods set it off but certainly cabbage and other green veg can give me tummy ache which is a nuisance as I love them.

I was found to be gluten intolerant ten years ago but so long as I follow a gf diet I can eat anything and everything.

That’s my problem. 🥳

i had bowel cancer and only have half my bowel left, i get diarrhea 3/4 days a week, i have to limit some items like mince, stew, cereal and anything spicy...miss my pakora, anything can set it off as my body has a problem with digesting food now. i had vulva cancer last year and had to have all my groin lymph nodes removed and that now limits the amount i can drink, anything from soups to cups of tea, but all the pills i take everyday keeps me going and funnily enough crisps and chocolate are not a problem....lol.

I've Sjorgens disease so I get trouble with my stomach and esophagus. Anything spicy at all or that can cause acid like tomatoes, apples, etc is a nightmare as I end up with a feeling that I've a lump stuck in my throat and can't swallow properly. I've noticed chocolate is annoying it too so I'm not happy because I really love it.
