Are there any foods you just will not eat because they make you feel ill? I have several things I do not eat, that I really like. I love green peppers cooked or raw, but if I eat them either way, I have the worse heart burn. So I never ever eat them. I also can not eat banana's for the same reason. I just love banana's. So about 2x a year I will eat part of a fresh one even though I know I will be paying for it for the rest of the day. Not even tumms help's with either of these foods. It is odd though because if I have Yogurt, the Yoplait strawberry and banana I do not get sick. So if I crave banana's now I eat that. So how about you? Is there a food you just can not eat, even if you love it?

Nope I have not tried any of those foods. So I would have no idea if the bothered me or not. But I am always willing to try almost anything once.

I love bananas too, and while they don't give me heartburn they repeat on me. The real killer for me is orange juice, maybe because it's so acidty... I love the taste of it but it sure doesn't love me..another thing is apple juice...uh, lets just say that has me running to the bathroom a lot..LOL

Sorry I am so slow to answer, But I am with on on both of those things, I really like orange juice, but again it is too hard on my stomach, same for apple juice. I think you are right to acidy. Thanks Pye for the response.

I was not able to eat cabbage and cucumbers for a very long time, years in fact but now I can eat both of them and I really love them.

When I was young I just did not like them, but now I think they are very yummy. Both Cabbage and cucumbers, both. Cook cabbage rolls are the best...

The only foods that make me feel ill are some seafoods, like octopus and other shellfish that my family and extended family eat. Just the look of them makes me feel queasy LOL

I can eat them and do on occasion, they are not my favorite thing to eat is all. I am just not a huge fan of fish. But they do not give me heart burn or make me feel ill. I have to agree they are not so yummy to look at either, ewwww octopus.

Yes, I can't eat anything hot or spicey, it makes my stomache hurt so I take pepcid, it is much better than tums. I also can't have chocolate because of the caffeine, but like you I still eat it and suffer lol.

Oh I would be in big trouble if I couldn't eat chocolate or drink coffee. I also have not tried pepcid, I may have to get some just to test it out for when I eat that rare banana, hehehe... Thanks for the response.

Well I am with you in the fact I do not eat either one of those, but not because they upset my stomach it is more because I just do not like them. Yuk....

I am having problems with my adrenal glands that is affecting my entire metabolism, especially the regulation of sodium and potassium. I can't really eat too much salt, but it's not always consistent. Sometimes I can eat it, sometimes I can't. I also have problems with food with a lot of sugar in it. I have to eat almost a totally whole foods diet. Also, grains bother me in the afternoon because my cortisol levels are so low. I get severe, crushing headaches that pretty much cause me not to function. So, yes, there are a ton of foods that I can't or shouldn't eat. But, like you, I will often eat something I know is not good for me once in a while.

Well that must get hard to regulate, all the restrictions you have. I hope they are able to help you in some way. I would have a very difficult time with that. So I can imagin every once in a while you would throw caution to the wind, just to enjoy a meal. Good luck, hope they are able to help you, I rarely get head aches that would be aweful.
