    I avoided onions and peppers when I was younger because I was a picky ass eater.

    Now I avoid onions because I realized I can’t properly digest them and the make my tummy sad.

      My partner’s in the same boat.

      What’s wicked sad is he loves garlic but it doesn’t love him. He can have garlic oil but that’s about it (something to do with FODMAPs).

        Might want to also try powers, cooking the shit out of the alliums, or cooking with the bulbs then removing the bulbs before serving. Get the flavor without the high FODMAP fructans.

        I’m also trying to see what I can do to build back the gut bacteria which would normally process that stuff correctly. Probiotics + slowly reintroducing the alliums over a long period of time.
