Problem Foods

So far, nothing I've tried has bothered me but Mom is very careful with what I eat so a lot of the items on this list I haven't tried yet. I have been really lucky so far! We only had one "incident" where she gave me real banana pudding mix instead of sugar-free and yikes! I let her know pretty quick that I didn't like it.

So, here is a list of foods that may cause irritation:

- Bread Products, Pasta, Rice (lead bombs! ouch!)

- Cow Milk Products (a lot of pouches become lactose intolerant)

- Fatty foods and fried foods

- Candy, chocolate

- Sugary foods or beverages

- Carbonated beverages

- Bran cereal and other bran products

- Corn, whole beans, peas

- Dried fruits, Stringy fruit like oranges

- Coconut- untoasted

- Canned Tuna, Imitation Crab

- Beef, Pork (I love pork but I am iron man!)
