What foods don't agree with you?

I am wondering how prevalent food sensitives and allergies are. I don't have any allergies to foods, but I've had to cut out some foods that bother me:

Sugar, Sucralose & other sweeteners, except stevia: migraines
Soy, Dairy, Greasy foods (like sausage and butter), Soda and Chinese Food (takeout): digestive problems
Kiwi Fruit and Walnuts: hurt my tongue, feels like I got a fish hook in my tongue.

Have you had to cut something out that doesn't agree with you?

    Nuts... in very small portions every now and then its okay, but weekly, forget-ta-bout-it! Itchy tongue, lips tingle, and I break out in hives. Been tested for allergies and somehow they missed this one!

    Wheat gives me pimples :sad:

    I still eat it occasionally and suffer with the after effects though.

    Oreos don't agree with me. I keep saying NO, they keep saying YES!!! :laugh:

    seriously, though, i have problems when i eat too much red meat. only recently has this been a problem, so i've cut way back (which i guess i needed to do anyway...)

    Straight bacon and tomatoes. I LOVE bacon as an addition to a meal, like on salads or with pasta. But straight pieces of bacon make me want to barf. And the way the grease coats your mouth. YUCK! I know I probably sound crazy to a lot of people but I just don't like it. Tomatoes is a textural thing. I just can't stand it even though I like the taste. Otherwise I don't have an sensitivities that I know of. Maybe I could get hypnotized since all my problems are in my head and then I wouldn't have problems with any foods!

    I have a SEVERE tree nut allergy. Pecans can and have sent me to the hospital in shock. Not jsut the actual not..but any flavorings. Almond extract was accidentally dropped on my skin while cooking Christmas cookies one day and the swelling/rash appeared instantly. Other nuts make me dizzy, get a headache and feel as though I will pass out. I even have to be picky about shampoo/conditioners or my entire head breaks out. If it says manufactured in a facility that may contain tree nuts I skip it..cnt take chances my allergy is that severe. Sad to cause it's one of the healthiest foods out there.

    I have no known allergies not even seasonal so far Im 29 and counting so if Im going to have any I think they would have shown up already , but spearmint, aspartame, sucralose give me headaches, dizziness, upset stomach.

    Other than that nothing else .

    Tomatoes make my stomach all kinds of unhappy and I've actually had it cause a tingly feeling in my throat/on my tongue. I now avoid foods with tomato products/substitute for non-tomato when I can (e.g. white pizzas, Alfredo sauces, pesto sauce on a sandwich instead of a tomato spread). I've found I actually enjoy eating pizza now that it doesn't have the tomato sauce, so that's a win in my book. :D

    Broccoli gives me horrible stomach pain. Whenever I eat it, I feel like I a bag of pointy rocks are sitting in my stomach. Also, peanuts and unfermented soy give me eczema.

    I am not allergic but I can't eat chocolate chips cookies or anything with heavy amount of chocolate. I get nauseated. Sweets in general don't agree with me, the same with fried foods (specially fried chicken), and alcohol is upsetting my stomach lately. So I have a glass of wine here and there but not too often. It sucks!

    Watermelon seems to give me "digestive problems". I still get sucked in every year, but i pay for it. Oatmeal gives me world class gas. I had to quit eating it every morning for breakfast in deference to my co-workers. :embarassed:

    My Doctor said I was allergic to peanuts, but I think I also have an MSG allergy.
    My mouth always gets tingly when I have chinese food or cheese curls.

    Dairy. Terrible stomach cramps, diarrhea. Even a little Parmesan cheese on pasta is a disaster.

    Bell Peppers - green, yellow, orange, red, doesn't matter, cause room clearing "digestive upset" and diarrhea. No other peppers cause issues.
