Identifying Inflammatory Foods for Chronic Illness

Pop or anything that has caffeine, white bread is really bad for my pots

There isn't much that doesn't cause a flare up

Just about anything I eat aggravates my heartburn

Alcohol and caffeine for me. Haven't been able to have any in years now.

Alcohol. I feel like death about ten minutes after having alcohol

Physical matter. In my GI tract. Different things set off different parts of my health issues. Most foods will make me feel sh!t in some way or another. :'c

High fructose/fructane content food

Spicy food, alcohol and acidic foods make my GERD flare up and also bad for my Ulcerative Colitis/digestion in general. I wish I could cut out caffeine to know if that negatively effects me, particularly fatigue and insomnia, because I consume it all of the time, but I'm too addicted....

I'm no good with alcohol. It makes me feel awful within a couple of drinks. Also I have to watch how many citrus fruits I have. I'm okay to have them in water, but eating them is a different story.

Inflammation from lactose intolerance really hits different

Stressful situations trigger my system with flushing, sweating, heart racing, IBS-D, insomnia, general pain increases. Iceberg & Romaine Lettuce, Red Wine, Acidic Foods, Spicy Foods.

Caffeine caused me severe abdominal pain & endometriosis flare ups.

Soya by far

I’m still trying to figure out because it seems like it changes day to day

I can't eat a lot of dairy as it affects my skin causing it flare up and creak like eczema and it's sets my chest off I have switched to oat and almond milk but these still flare up my skin and tomatoes, pineapples and peaches set off my chest and my stomach cramps and I m allegric to these anyway

Heavily salted things set me off

Caffeine makes me so anxious but I 💗 coffee

I am intolerant to chocolate but I can't survive without eating chocolate. So there we are, enjoying my flares up 🤣🤣

Dairy, eggs and legumes mostly

Marinera sauce specifically. Tomatoes on their own are fine but marinara sauce causes a lot of issues

Tomatoes… noticing it causes more pain for both my stomach and chronic pain

Salt seems to be the bane of my existence

Milk and boiled sweets

I'd say dairy bc it makes me get more mucus in my chest so I get stuffed up but I like cheese so I probably won't really change

For me it’s fried foods BIG TIME- I feel as though I even look at something fried or greasy and I feel awful!

Red meats

Msg makes mine worse. 🥲

Milk, cream, and coffee. 😥

Tomatoes

soy is very inflammatory for me

Aspartame a sugar substitute

Acidic foods (especially tomato based). No ketchup for me...

Anything with high fibre or high acidity. Annihilates my colon. Only thing on the list that's iffy for me is soda because of the fizz.

For me, the worst is refine sugar. After sipping sweet drinks, my body will respond to it quickly with feel-like a 'burn' sensation on my back.. another trigger for me: msg. I easily got petechiae or nosebleed afterwards.

Fried foods, carbonation, dairy, too much caffeine, too much sugar. Fresh fruits and veggies make me sick so that's fun. There's a lot thats just not good for me :/

When I stopped eating French fries for every meal my hands stopped locking up as bad

Not necessarily always fried but when something has just way too much grease on it where it's dripping grease, that usually messes with my stomach bad.

Trying to avoid feels impossible some days

Acidic foods

Caffeine

Coffee goes right through me, but I still drink it (I have to choose between a terrible headache possible flare up, the headache wins) but onions and milk are the worst triggers for me

Red meat

Eating makes me sick, taking the first bite of food is always super difficult.

No foods, only stress, worry, excitement 😥

Soda drives me crazy. It tastes very flat with a metallic aftertaste

Any caffeine will do it, but also I need it to function with the amount of sleep my illness is costing me 😭

Dairy, apples, grease, overly processed food

For me it's sugar like even if I have a lot of fruit it'll mess me up. That's why I just stick to just blueberries a day.

easy, milk affects me the most. but not because of my illness. i’m mildly allergic to it 😅 won’t stop me from eating ice cream though

Anything with a high histamine level, so basically all delicious food 😭

My only sensitivity that isn't an allergy is for specific types of icing. Usually decorators icing is the worst and cream cheese, whipped cream, and marshmallow icings seem to be the best for some reason.

Random just what ever my stupid useless body decides

it's strange, some sodas really upset my stomach and some are completely fine and I haven't quite figured it out yet ^^;; but cheese specifically always makes me feel super sick, along with red meat and any hot drinks giving me symptoms similar of food poisoning or an allergic reaction of some kind. not sure why it happens but I just try to avoid them as a result (or I live with the consequences of eating cheese anyway because it tastes so good but is so goddam deadly aaa)

Sodas and artificial sweeteners kill me

Greasy/ Spicy food.

Almost everything. If I can't have it due to my gastroparesis or all the ulcers due to my GP, I can't have it due to my food allergies/sensitivities.

Raw plants.

DAIRY products. Moved to coconut and soy.

Artificial sweeteners

Caffeine and alcohol

Basically any sugar, i have fructose malabsorption (fructose intolerance) And fructose is in like everything, so eating most foods cause me stomach pain

So far, the only food that gives me the pain is Pizza, and that's only if I accidentally eat too much, I have to eat it slow and not alot at once or I feel like I'm dying later.

Mainly artificial dyes. But maybe I should cut most of these out once I can afford it and see if there is any difference.

Dairy mostly. Coffee can give me bad cramps tho

Caffeine

I really don’t fully know yet, I’d give a lot to be able to work this out (especially very quickly and painlessly)

Also alcohol and nicotine

Chocolate 🍫

I have a life threatening wheat allergy

I’m allergic to chocolate

Chocolate

For me dairy sometimes does sometimes doesn’t. Greasy food just makes me feel 🤢

Red meat and processed foods make me feel emotionally horrible, my Dr advised a Mediterranean diet and it's helping a lot

I can't have acidic stuff.. pineapple,oranges ect. Which stinks because I love them!!

Really anything can set off a flare. Too much sugar. Too much protein. Too many carbs. Too many veg. Random never the same.

Some dairy, like regular milk or ice cream, messes with my asthma. But that's it.

I'm lucky and no foods make my chronic pain worst. Just movement and exercise.

Me too all trigger it shame you can't select more than one as I just found out.

Considering I have celiac disease, by far the answer for me is gluten

All of them 😭

Oh gosh so many 😥 multiple effect me in different ways, none is "worse" than the others

Soy for me

Soy.

Yeah definitely caffeine but can't cut it out all together so have to have it at some point I drink decaffeinated tea aswell.

Had to go thru so many tests (ultrasound, endoscopy, etc.) & be told I "just have heartburn" only to randomly find a video on YouTube explaining Tight Junctions...I might not have Celiac, but gluten does not agree with my digestive tract 🙅🏻‍♀️ thank goodness for digestive enzymes

Any food containing salycilates such as most fruits, caffeinated beverages, veggies except starches.
