Of all the FODMAP foods onion is the one that I am the most.. well fearful of. Its in everything!!! I have also had some really dreadful experiences with it.. i recall one horrible night in Tokyo and a fraught train journey to the airport with a backpack and a suitcase on a rush hour train.. there are no words.
The long day of pain, unending movement of gas through my intestines with raucous intent. I have had worse trips.. before i went on the diet, but this was the first plain ride .... a descent into hell i will call it. I swear the cabin pressure makes it worse!
So its the one i am being the most careful when introducing. I am starting with chips.. they have onion powder in small doses and so far I have had no reactions. Its funny though, I really don't like onion. I used to before all this, but now.. yuck!! I don't get why people put it in everything.
I will work up to real onion, in time, but for now its onion in chips, then onion in stock.. and then... well i am sure something will come up. I have been on the FODMAP diet for over 3 years.. so i guess i should start being brave.
Its hard though, before, when it was bad i got used to the pain. Now.. when it hits it throws me for a sixer. I don't know how i did it before.
