am i doomed?

If I eat powdered onions watch out! Myabe there is one food that is causing to get gas? I remember as far back as I can and they bothered me then and now. It get even more horrendous gas if someone makes onion dip from lipton onion soup mix which is what was the thing that tipped me off to it years ago. I just cant eat it especially in the powdered form. I have had onions but limited that were cooked well without to much of a problem. But as far as that powdered onion stuff goes no way jose! I cant even stand myself. I have to avoid that stuff like the plague or I will pay dearly for it. Recently my wife bought me a bean noodle pack that was spring onion and I was nicknamed gassous clay for the rest of the day. I let my guard down and ate it not even thinking. My gut was wrenched and horrible gas for about 20 hours.

I second the FODMAPS suggestion. Also try probiotics.

I just wanted to say something regarding what you said that you ex "he DEF could not do better"...what is the reason you would be with someone who you think is an 'underdog' or someone who will stick by you coz he 'cannot do any better'...? You really need to think about this because that, to me, suggests that you don't believe that you truly deserve a great guy, or one that everyone desires.
I was in your place at some stage in my life and i also had a huge wake up call when the guy said he didn't know whether he wanted to be with me or not. That's when i knew how much i had lowered my standards to the point that even a 'loser' did not want to be with me. And i was also the kind of girl who you would describe as having everything. Oh and i didn't have UC back then.

Then i learnt that i had to love myself and accept myself first, then the right guy will come along eventually. I think you need to focus on yourself for a while and take time to love yourself.

maryjane1234, you don't need to justify yourself. You are fine and he is out of the picture. While I understand the catharsis of trashing someone who has hurt you, I can't help but feel like it's best to just drop it and let things be. Put simply: it's easier to stop thinking about him than to think about how terrible he is and what a mistake he made.

Just worry about yourself. You've come here for help with your flatulence, not dating advice.

problem w ex was dropped like 20 posts ago lol. i just wanted help w the problem, not to be diagnosed by some pseudo-counselor off of one post. geez, came here for help, not a mental health diagnosis.

anyways, think i got what i need as far as advice and info, appreciate all the USEFUL information :)
