What foods do you avoid that you have found can exacerbate symptoms or causes a flare?

Mine are: sausage, hot dogs, hard alcohol (vodka), pepperoni, spicy hot foods. I generally avoid all of these except occasionally will have a sausage.

None.
If flaring, i will have a smaller amount of salad and less coffee if I'm nauseated.

Spicy food cause me bad problems, even mildly spicy. A glass of milk or a milkshake would end me, but cheese is fine and I can tolerate some of the Zymil type cream if I have very little. Pasta is also a no-no when I'm flaring. Yoghurt is fine. Anything really fatty, such as sausages, when I'm flaring are bad. I also steer clear of "roughage" such as salads when I'm flaring. I tend to stick with bland meals with chicken, ginger (I find that really helpful), rice etc. I also used to believe fish was great and used to steam it, but a couple of times I had a bad response, and I think it's the difficulty with knowing how fresh it is, so I've moved over to frozen fish and canned fish.

Spicy food, and the shame is I love extremely spicy food. Also, I think too much cheese. I used to like eating a lot of cheese, but seemed to cause issues. In small amounts not a prob.

In remission ? none that I know of.....in a flare many raw veggies (and fruit and veg with peelings), peanuts, almonds, and sugary things.

This flare is MUCH different than my first one though and this just seems like a whole different disease. Things may be different upon remission this time (once I get my foot in that door).....I hope not though.
