Reply to "Diet: Do you find that certain foods trigger pouchitis or other reactions?"

I get a histamine reaction from any kind of fermented or aged food or any food containing natural or added msg, hydrolyzed additives, yeast extract: examples: sausages, aged cheese (more aging=worse reaction), buttermilk, wine, flavored potato/corn chips, sour cream etc. Fresh tomatoes and avocados, both of which I love, contain natural msg., so can only sneak small amounts at one time. These can cause typical allergy symptoms: red, teary eyes, runny nose. coughing, lethargy and can induce a migraine. Never noticed whether my pouch was affected, however, so am assuming that it wasn't, but the rest of my body surely was. -- Rose --
