poll about food intolerances
Literally more than two bites of an onion ring makes me extremely nauseous and sometimes makes me vomit.
Skin/peels of most kinds of apples and the membrane around the individual segments of citrus fruit give me really bad gas and abdominal cramping.
Everything else is merely things I choose not to eat or things that i can have in small amounts but too much make me sick. (Coffee and bacon bothered me during the first 2 years but not since then.)

You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there.
Roast beef does me in everytime. Just too dense and sits terrible in my digestive system. Can't eat it...
Non-whole wheat pasta causes a heaviness and a level of discomfort. Choose not to eat it...
Malitol (more so than sorbitol) wreaks havoc in my digestive sytem. Shouldn't eat it...
Any more than one small serving of a dairy product with high fat and sugar content causes mild dumping. Do my best to not eat, enjoy or desire it (big sigh)...
Liquids on an empty, "first thing in the morning" pouch, causes a wierd tension that is short-lived, but not good. Usually suffer through it...
Anything greasy. I ate the toppings off a pizza and got sick. It was greasy. My friend made fish, and fried it, I got sick.
Onion. They make me bloated and uncomfortable. So does broccoli and cauliflower. But I love broccoli! Sigh.

9 years post-op and the only thing that still gets me is ice cream. It's not agonizing, terrible dumping, I just feel queasy and uncomfortable for about an hour. Thankfully, it's not something I've ever craved. I'm more of a pastry girl when it comes to sweets.

Ok, I have to admit that ice cream is my enemy too. I tried about a 1/2 cup on Sunday for Mothers Day. The best present for me would have been that I could have died. I am just a short 5 months out and this was the first time I had tried anything off of the plan and boy did I pay for it. Ice cream is now on my don't even think about it list.
