Here I am again as usual, bringing up the rear. As it were.
Lettuce
MSG
Corn, fresh
These are sure to bring on a long visit to the

Added, fresh veggies and fruit.JJ wrote:Hi...I haven't posted because not much is giving me problems since I have been taking Entocort. I think I mentioned the other day that I ate fresh pineapple and it gave me slight gas. Before I started taking Entocort...all fresh veggies and fruit gave me problems. I have never had a problem with dairy or soy, even before Entocort. I have an appointment with my GI Doc next week, so I'll see what he says about staying on Entocort.
Hi Mike,
I'm new to this process..diagnosed Jan. 2006 and started gf plus tested intolerences free since the last couple of months. Not healed so haven't experimented much yet.But I had problems with food even before MC...not to this extent tho. Here are my tested intolerences...
gluten
caisen
soy
egg
yeast
lettuce
almonds
scallops
oysters
kidney beans
carregenan
That is it so far. I am sure once I start experimenting with food the list is going to be long. I just have one of those systems that is really sensitive to anything. Thanks for doing this list . It is nice to have a heads up on possible problems.
Love,
Cristi

You have been added to the list. Gluten is my enemy as well. Bad, bad gluten!LauraJ wrote:I am also new to this and probably don't know my list yet :) Heck, I don't even know what I have other than CD!
But, so far, gluten is my #1 enemy. :) Waiting to get the test from enterolab for other potential enemies!

Glad you asked, this was an informative thread to review! My symptoms worsen if I eat:
Gluten, Raw Veggies, Lettuce, Processed tomato sauce products, processed foods, MSG, and Beer.
There are other things that I am "supposed" to be intolerant to, but actually don't notice a difference if I eat it or not: Dairy (I got hammered by eating a ton of homemade yogurt 2 weeks ago (24hr = no lactose) but can eat cheese without any change in symptoms). I was recently reminded that my Dr. Fine test showed Casein intolerance... For the purpose of your survey, I am going to say that I'm OK on dairy as I don't notice any difference other than the one Overdose on yogurt.
I have never noticed a problem with rice, and saw that only one of you noted "Rice" intollerence - Matthew - who is following the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (no grains). According to the SCD, people that are in the "vicious cycle" of an Inflammatory Bowel Disease cannot digest grains. I have been on that diet for just over a month... not really noticing improvement... I realize it can take longer.
Some of you are also avoiding grains, with a Paleo type diet. I suppose there is a difference between "intolerant" = reaction, and a diet that may promote healing that would not have occurred otherwise. At any rate, I can eat rice and not have "extra" gas, bloating, or D, so that is the short answer.

Mine can be updated.
Intolerances that cause D:
Dairy,
all grains, including rice and corn, including their oils
legumes, including soy and peanuts, and their oils, with the weird exception of MoonRose soymilk
sulfites only in large amounts
Bananas in large amounts, and melons
Tolerated in large amounts, 24/7, with no repercussions:
all meat except those that have additives
all vegetables, esp low carb veggies, cooked or raw
fruits, citrus or otherwise, except for large amounts of seeded fruit
potatoes
It could be summed up as a "paleo/lectin-sensitive" diet?

Everything? Right now it just seems that I can't eat anything without a trip to the bathroom shortly thereafter. I do know for sure all gluten and dairy/casein. Apparently beets 
I'm afraid to know what else. Will check back with you in 6 months and see where I am! It's definitely interesting to see what bothers people, though.

Here are mine to add to the list: gluten (of course), casien, eggs, yeast, and soy. Still on Entocort 3X day, presumably because I still have two BMs per day. I suspect I have other intolerances because I'm not completely back to normal.
Has anyone ever considered creating a chart with the genetic types correlated to the intolerances? I suspect that there is a correlation, and I think Lucy has mentioned this, too. It would be so helpful to look up your genetic type and the known intolerances for that type. It is interesting that Polly and I have the same genetic type and also are intolerent to many of the same foods, plus we both had a rare reaction to Pepto Bismo.
I wouldn't be surprised if Dr. Fine has been looking into the correlation. If such a correlation list existed, there wouldn't be any need for stool tests, just a genetic test, so it may not be to his lab's advantage to publish such a correlation.
It would take a lot of effort, but wouldn't it be helpful to add the genetic component to this terrific list that Mike has compiled?
