I have IBS and therefore have to severly limit my diet. Mind you half the stuff on this list is food I really enjoy eating, or is virtually included in everything 🙃 the universe said you WILL eat that boiled chicken and rice and you WILL LIKE IT

IBS? I dated a girl with Ulcerative Collitis, and the initial "rule out" list was about this bad, until we worked through all the various triggers. This is crazy!

I have Ulcerative Colitis and there are different circumstances. Avoiding "trigger foods" while your in remission is helpful but if you're flaring it doesn't matter what you eat. You could try avoiding anything and it won't matter. It's not like avoiding certain foods will stop you from flaring. You'll still be going to the washroom 40 to 50 times a day because your mostly capping out blood and mucus.
