15. Garlic and onion bother me now too.

And I've always loved them. Onion bothers me the most. I can get away with using a little garlic infused olive oil. I heard somewhere that the irritating substance in the garlic doesn't absorb into oil. I don't know how true that is but eating a wee bit of it doesn't seem to make my symptoms flare up.

I noticed a time correlation to my symptoms too. The slightest irritating food first thing in the morning can make me suffer all day. Eating too near bedtime is a no-no for me too.
