Is there a food that doesn't completely agree with you (that maybe gives you a little push-back) that you still find worth the discomfort/embarrassment?

Pepperoni pizza. Invariably makes me fart. But I love the taste.

Asparagus = makes my urine smell. But so what.

I have trouble with greasy food now and then, but I won’t give up my bacon or my sausage gravy. No way.

CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESE

Eating more than just a couple of bites of cheese will upset my stomach for a bit, but oh maaaaaan, I can’t stop myself from scarfing down that delectable, cheesy goodness. Oh God, I love cheeeeeeese.

Chicago Style deep dish pizza.

White wine. I don’t like getting tipsy, but I love a glass (or two or three!) of chilled, dry, white wine.

Usually when I eat at the fast food place I work at I feel like “ughhh why’d I eat that?” I still think it’s worth it because free food is the best kind of food.
Raw broccoli makes me straight up have to shit, so I watch out for it. In a more positive light, it’s actually useful if I want to relieve myself at any given time.

Apples make my stomach cramp. :(

Sauteed onions and peppers. Yum. Actually onions with any meat or fish.
Sunny side up eggs.
Chocolate cake with chocolate cream.
Pizza
Fried Cheese sticks

Milk use to be a problem but I found if I don’t drink more than a cup and it’s whole organic milk, I don’t have a reaction at all. Now if its organic 2 percent I may have a little digestion problem, but not too bad. Anything less just wrecks my stomach. I think my body needs the fat in milk to better digest it.

You can have the pepperoni @elbanditoroso, but I’m gonna have my asparagus even if I pee green. Butter and lemon, please.

Greasy bothers me more all the time, @keobooks, but mostly as ‘fried foods’. I only eat them out.

I’ve never had cheese bother me, @WillWorkForChocolate, but I’d have to tough it out, too, if it did. There must be 20 pounds in the refrigerator (literally) as we speak.

Never had true Chicago style pizza, @Cruiser. Wait? Maybe at “Uno’s”? If so I liked it without consequence.

I completely lost my tolerance for wine, @Love_my_doggie. At some point there’s gonna be a headache. :-(

Raw veggies in general are starting to have that effect on me, @dxs. Yeah, it cane be useful.

Even peeled, @AshLeigh? I can’t stand peelings well. Including tomato and pepper.

I seem to eat onions with impunity, @Pandora, raw or fried. Raw they actually seem to help me tolerate fried foods. Cooked peppers I can do, and sunny-side is great.
I admit to fried cheese sticks causing upset, but, hey, everything in moderation.

Soy can make me fart like you wouldn’t believe. I rarely eat it for that reason. :D

@elbanditoroso Lucky for you, not everyone can smell that. It’s down to genetics whether or not people can detect that smell. Asparagus makes everyone’s pee smell – a lot of people just can’t notice it. Asparagus pee is pretty bad, though.

@DrasticDreamer – I didn’t realize that I was a genetic mutant :-)

Yep, asparagus gives almost everyone stinky pee.

Wow.
I have a huge bag of asparagus in the freezer.
Guess what’s for dinner?

@ibstubro Let us know if you’re one of the lucky ones who can smell asparagus pee! ;)

Any curry dish, been known to have me shitting through the eye of a needle.
May as well throw the meal down the toilet without eating it, cut out the middle man.

KFC.

Cucumbers makes me cramp to the point of doubling over.

@ibstubro

You asked about solutions.
There is a product called Beano, a few drops of which added to a serving of beans deals with your problem.

I wish there were a solution for raw onions and me because they give me a really bad headache as well as indigestion. But I certainly don’t love them enough to risk it. I just wish I could for convenience sake. There are so many salad combos with raw onions in them. Trying to pick them out doesn’t work so I just forego altogether.

Cooked onions or toasted onion powder are fine so I settle for those. But they do have to be really well cooked, not just lightly sauteed but still crunchy.

Trying to get that across in some Asian food restaurants is touch and go depending upon the English language skills of the cook. But it would be so much nicer if I could just eat them no matter how prepared.

Pizza, fresh fruit, garlic, and Mexican food.

Taco Bell. I know I feel sick five minutes later but it is still worth it.

I’m one of the lucky ones whose urine has a distinct odour after eating asparagus. But I like it!

I had my gallbladder removed in 2012. Since then, if I eat too much fatty food in one sitting, it’ll either fly through me like sauce through a goose, or sit in my gut and churn all night until I forcibly eject it.

(@filmfann, take note – this might happen to you. Might not. Also, you might be a cheap date for a while – took me almost a year to get my tolerance for alcohol back.)

However, my everlasting love for cheese and red meat goes unabated, and sometimes it is totally worth it to suffer for a night for the sake of baked brie with roasted garlic on fresh baguette slices.

I happened to think today that I love the new Doritos Jalapeno Jacked chips a lot more than they love me. I buy the small bags to keep the discomfort to a minimum…I eat the bag no matter the size.

I love Taco Bell in addition to eating Mexican at least once a week, and it usually goes through me pretty fast.

Off to cook the asparagus.

Spicy Mexican or Indian food makes me sweat like a pig.

You will never see me eat either food on a date night.

I’m telling you guys: everyone gets asparagus pee. It’s just that some people don’t have the ability to smell it.

Eating physically hot food can make me sweat pretty badly, too, @LuckyGuy. Soup makes my forehead bead. I try to temper the spicy-in food, mindful of the spicy-out.

I don’t know if I ate enough asparagus tonight for a pee test, @DrasticDreamer. I’ll have a good dose before the frozen is gone.

@Seek – baked brie on on baguette sounds wonderful. I wish had some brie in the house…. and some baguettes. Except for that, I’m ready!

Brie is a weakness of mine. I may or may not occasionally buy a wedge and hide it like most people do chocolate bars.

Oh, yeah, I have to avoid spicy food, too. It’s just not worth the pain.

Whenever a lovely piece of lamb is consumed, a battle between it and the digestive system ensues. Just like any war, pain and intolerance ensues until it is over.

Pizza sits in my stomach like a bowling ball — but every once in a while I gotta have some.

Pickled garlic. I love the taste of it, but it gives me dragon breath. If I eat it at all, and it’s very rare that I do, I make sure that I’m not going to be in close proximity to any people within 24 hours of eating it.

A lot of raw veggies, especially hard ones like carrots and celery, and also a lot of nuts, tear up my digestive system, and I feel irritated through the system from my stomach on down, and I bleed for weeks when I go to the bathroom.

In the past I had a lactose problem (it lasted about 8 years) where within 20 minutes of eating any dairy I had to get to the bathroom, but that ended about 15 years ago. Now, if I have a lot of milk, it has to be over a cup, it sometimes makes me a little gassy. So, a bowl of cereal is no problem, but two bowls might get to me. Cheese never causes any problem anymore, but I rarely have more than 2–3 ounces at a time.

Chinese. Love it during the eating. Hate myself twenty minutes later.

Cucumbers, watermelon with seeds, and peppers. Grandfather to Father to two out of four of us, to my brother’s middle son. Yippee. Gas, upset stomach, and take a magazine to the restroom. But, c’mon, you gotta walk on the wild side- until the wild catches up.

@Here2_4 Chinese food gives me nightmares

Red wine gives me a hot flushed face. This is linked to my rosacea and is bad for my skin long term but I can’t resist a Shiraz sometimes
