Food allergies or food intolerances: do you suffer from any of them? How do you manage them?

@richard0804 Sounds like you love curry! My husband uses Masala as a spice, which makes it far too hot for me. I've never been a lover of curry, no matter what goes in it!

Regarding the flatulence, luckily I don't have that problem with any food I digest. Perhaps another member has a solution?

BBQ is a word I can't get used to here in Northern Ireland. In South Africa we called it a Braai, which was always a great way of socialising and cooking juicy steaks etc. Unfortunately, we haven't yet had the chance to experience a BBQ with the local people.

Keep safe and as healthy as possible.

I have asthma , type 2 diabetes and ulcerative colitis + other problems too many to mention. I have problems eating foods that are recommended for my diabetes but cause problems for my UC so I tend to eat what I know won't upset my UC but are not recommended for diabetes, I bake pies eat homemade bread using plain flour ( stotties ) as I've found bread flour bloats me out but plain flour doesn't. Most fruit is too high in sugar for me to eat and I have reactions to oranges and bananas which doesn't leave me with many fruits that I like to eat. Vegetables are another problem as I've never liked cabbage ,sprouts ,broccoli or any type of onions , can't stand the taste of garlic. So I'm fighting against what's good for me against what I actually like.

I was diagnosed with Coeliac disease, aged 2 years and am now 66. Intolerance of Gluten, a protein found in wheat, oats and barley. Whilst I am used to a Gluten Free diet now, it has been a challenge, particularly as a child! Always willing to share experiences with fellow Coeliac sufferers.

Left damage from radiotherapy post neck cancer left damage to my saliva glands, damaged tissue alround the throat and neck plus other glands etc. This has left me only able to eat sloopy food as dry food, nuts, rice etc. going the wrong way causing choking and vomating. Together with my diabetes which requires sugar replacements etc. so food is problematic over limited choice. After losing 6 stone in the six weeks of the cancer, I finally achieved my overweight self after a number of years. Now my GP put me the millionaires slimming drug, the injection once a week was refused, the size of the needle a definate no, no. So I am on the tablet version and we will see how that goes after the next six months
