for me: artificial sweetners, coffee, too much milk (i am fine with yogurt and cheese), lettuce and spinach and anything leafy that is raw!0
-
Coffee, tabbouli, some juices (I think - the tabbouli and offending juice are from the same restaurant so it could be a third item I haven't considered). Sugar-free gum. I eat pretty much all my veggies cooked so I don't know about raw leafy stuff.0

Friggin' coffee and I love coffee : (
Too much garlic
too much onions
Too much spice
some tea (like black tea)
too much sugar
Wheat/dairy (so I don't eat wheat or dairy for years now)
too much potatoes/sweet potatoes0 -
significant doses of caffeine. i had to give up regular coffee in 2010, and i was a big coffee drinker. these days, i can have a (caffeinated) diet coke or two every once in a while, but i don't push it.
my GI doc told me to avoid milk, also, which i have done. i don't know if that was a trigger or not. i miss ice cream, but it's so calorie dense that i would barely eat it anyway.0 -
My trigger foods:
Ditto on the caffeine...(and I used to be addicted, ie. coffee all morning and mountain dew all afternoon, and CHOCOLATE! :P No more....). Spicy foods. Red meat, and sometimes pork. Pretty much all fruits and veggies right now, with the exception of the occasional canned or otherwise processed fruits / vegetables. Also, anything but refined grains are a trigger for me.
I am, however, completely ok with milk products so far, but I only drink milk on occasion. I can also do just fine w/ starches like potatoes and rice.
My comfort foods:
White bread, Saltine crackers, most mild cheeses, chicken, potatoes, rice, and vanilla ice cream.0 -
No foods trigger me. It's just stress and then within a month, starting with mucous, then blood in the stools, I'm a mess. Takes meds to come out of it. I asked my gastro if foods can trigger me and he said no, it's autoimmune, not diet related. For the longest time, I thought it was foods that could help or harm me. Sure, a low residue diet helps me coming out of my flare but it's only stress that caused it.0

popcorn
Red meat like steak, pork, sausage.0 -
For me its..... VEGGIES most of them, processed food- deli meats. (which i stay away from) mac and cheese anything with the face powder cheese mises etc... ice cream at times. orange juice, lots of juices bother me. Good to keep a journal.0
-
Anything that's really high in fiber like beans. Coconut flakes will do it. Caffeine a little. Things with fake sweeteners in them like gum.0
-
milk (doing soy and almond now) red meat, sometimes pork, I can eat hamburgers from fast food places. most fresh fruit and veggies, I can eat canned veggies.potatoes, rice, ice cream, spices, garlic, caffeine, fake sweeteners (although I can drink diet white sodas) no dark sodas, chocolate, beans, leafy veggies, no red sauces.
Is there anything left?
Anything processed is best for me. Low/no fiber, pure sugar, honey, pasta. Does this help the diet? NO! ha0
