The only thing I can tell you with certainty is that you will have to essentially conduct a "trial and error" with the foods you eat. While some to avoid are obvious (anything spicy, alcohol) the others tend to depend on an individual's own constitution. In addition, sensitivity to some foods seems to come and go at will. Beans may be fine for a while and then, without warning, will become troublesome. We have found that cruciform vegetables (kale, brocolli, cauliflor, brussels sprouts) don't usually seem to be well tolerated. Think bland, think small portions. Hope this is some help.
